If you're considering getting a male German Shepherd, it's important to be aware of the potential downsides. In this video, we'll go over 7 cons of owning a male German Shepherd.
Firstly, male German Shepherds can be prone to aggressive behavior. This is especially true if they're not properly trained and socialized from a young age. This can pose a safety risk for both the dog and the people around them.
Secondly, male German Shepherds can be quite dominant and territorial. They may become aggressive towards other dogs or people who they perceive as a threat to their territory or family.
Thirdly, male German Shepherds can be quite stubborn and difficult to train. They have a strong will and need a firm and consistent hand when it comes to training.
Fourthly, male German Shepherds can be prone to health issues such as hip dysplasia and other joint problems. This can be costly to treat and may impact the dog's quality of life.
Fifthly, male German Shepherds require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation to keep them healthy and happy. This means you'll need to be prepared to spend a lot of time exercising and playing with your dog.
Sixthly, male German Shepherds can be quite vocal, especially when they're bored or anxious. This can be frustrating for neighbors and may lead to complaints.
Lastly, male German Shepherds can be quite protective of their owners and family. While this can be a positive trait, it can also lead to aggression towards strangers or visitors to your home.
Overall, while male German Shepherds can make wonderful pets, it's important to be aware of these potential downsides before making the decision to bring one into your home.

Growing up I had a white male Shepherd named bear, he was the sweetest huggable ball of fluff I ever had, his weakness was eucalyptus because he was allergic to them and would sneeze nonstop from the scent of them.

Not only do I have a male GSD, but I have 2. My boys are well mannered, trained protection assets, lovable members of the family and very aware. Trained by a former navy EOD tech and myself, my boys are huge, scary looking dorks. Play, play, play but when it's time for business.... let's just say I'm glad to be the leader of their pack and not on the business end of those fangs. I HIGHLY recommend GSD's for any family or individual. Truth be told now...they always look forward to watching "On Patrol Live" with me on Friday and Saturday nights. They howl in approval at their K9 "frens" on TV.

My German Shepard only marked once in the house. He was told off on the spot and never again. As a puppy he had accidents, but it was minimal; like first thing in the morning and as a baby couldn’t wait so peed on the newspaper outside his crate. Also had a couple of accidents in his crate, as he was just a baby

I had 2 male and 2 female GSD's plus 2 mixed GSD's. There was no difference between them. It's the owners and the training each dog gets from the very first day that make the dogs. I loved my boys so very much. They were gentle giants. We've been feeding raw meat diet for twelve years now. I wish I had done it from the very first dog we got. I will never feed kibble again.

That's not true. There can be great difefrences among GSD-s. Some are easier to handle, while.others are more stubborn. It depends on the bloodline AND the education they receive.

@@gringling57 I never bought commercial available raw food diet for dogs. They still have stuff mixed in that I don't want them to eat. Basically I buy meat in bulk at Costco and freeze it. I have two dogs at the moment. An almost 2 year old ACD female and an ACD/GSD mixed breed boy 13+ years old. She's the picture of health and the Vet always is amazed at her muscle tone and overall health. My old boy has had health issues all his life. Knee surgeries when he was 8, at 11 he started to have seizures, which we keep in check to once a year at the moment with CBD oil and Gabapentin plus he now gets other supplements to help with Arthitis and cognitive function. Even with all these problems he doesn't look his age. He still goes for walks every day, he jumps on and off the bed, sofa on his own, still plays with toys but he's slowed down some. Without his good diet, we'd lost him years ago, I'm sure of it. Funny thing is, both also like home made, raw Sauerkraut. I started making it last year and dropped some on the floor. They cleaned it up and ever since then I give them a spoonful whenever I have it. They turn their nose up on sweet potatoe treats even when wrapped with dried duck. He used to like carrot sticks but just sniffs in disgust whenever he comes across it. If given I choice they really don't like veggies. Treats they get are single ingredient, like freeze dried sardines, of beef liver, or dried duck strips. Despite my old boy doing well considering, the Vet always tries to push commercial dog food for senior, and I always say, heck no. the last time he laughed and said, he knew I would shoot him down with that one. I don't understand WHY? mention crap food when they do well on real food? I just don't get it.

My female GS was more aggressive than my male, BUT I bought her at a breeding for police dogs. He was SO gentle nobody believed , friends laughed, that he would hurt anyone. Someone whom I knew walked up behind me in the woods and startled all of He did not hear them bc of a motor running. A hundred pounds flew through the air for the guy’s throat and we knocked him to the ground like a football tackle 3 times before we could grab him. Gentle enough kids climbed all over him and loved people. Be sure you have energy before getting a male or female GS! GSs are the best breed I have had from having had many. And SO smart.

Totally agree with you! I'm nearly 70 years old and have had GSDs all my adult life. Each one, irrespective of gender, had its own quirks. The most protective one we had was a female. The goofiest and softest was not only a male but also the biggest dog we ever had. We've had up to three at one time so they have been a pack with me and husband. Yes, they are a lot of work, but they are so worth it. The kind of over-simplified advice is this video is not helpful. Anyone wanting a GSD should find people like you and like us, and ask for the reality of life with GSDs. Sadly we are now too old to give any more GSDs the active life they deserve. We do miss them so much.

The only reasons for not adopting a German Shepherd are (1) not being willing to devote the time and energy to train, exercise, groom, play with them and show them affection and (2) not having the money to feed them well (not kibble--raw diet or freeze dried raw food). That's it. They are fabulous dogs--the best.

Our male shepherd doesn’t mark at all, and is also sooo submissive to our female shepherd lol! The only aggression he has is towards other dogs… but he learned that behavior from our female. Otherwise, he is the worlds biggest love bug! He doesn’t know personal space ❤️ Our guy is energetic, loves to hike, etc….. but doesn’t honestly doesn’t require stimulation…. He thoroughly enjoys being a house dog more than an outside dog haha. He loves to chill and snuggle, or watch his human sisters play 😊 He is MASSIVE (biggest shepherd I’ve ever seen) and we weren’t expecting that lol… so yes, he sheds a TON! His loyalty is like no other. & he loves to love and be loved. I’ll never own another type of dog! We love our male and female shepherds!

So…most of what you covered here is something to consider of the breed itself, not just “male GSDs”. I grew up with 2 male GSDs and never witnessed anything negative, minus the shedding. Currently, I’m in an apartment with a male GSD mix. No “marking” issues. He does shed, Oy. He also exhibits some separation anxiety but it should be noted he’s a rescue that I got when he was 1 1/2. That’s common in rescue dogs as well as GSDs. However, he does well in Doggie Daycare. Otherwise, he’s the best companion. Simply stated…you have several over generalizations in the video. I don’t know if you’ve owned or been around GSDs but I think there’s a lack of insight here, no offense.

Male or female are both excellent. If there are smells left in your home digs will mark on top if them. Female shepherds are as I have found are very protective of their humans and their pups. Being a breeder for over 30+ years of German Shepherds. The behaviour stated on here can be facts of shepherds and many other breeds. Bottom line, be sure you are in control at all times. Shepherds like to please at all costs.

Stop making such negative videos and spread the fear regarding such amazing breeds. The videos should be focused on who should and should not get such a dog. Driven dogs need strong owners and if you can't be one, better don't get them. No way, a German shepherd is a naturally aggressive dog. It's primarily a result of incompetent ownership.

It's up to the owner and the training. A lot of misleading information. If you want a German Shepherd then expect to have to make time for this breed dog. They need exercise before training and one on one bonding. Every breed dog will establish bad habits if the owner is failing on training or bonding. People want to get german shepherds because their good looking then fail to give them the actual time and training they need, bad rep over time just like pit bulls.

a lot of the behavioral cons aren't "dominance" caused (that's a myth), they're insecurity caused. And females are just as prone, if not more prone, to these issues. The females are known for same-sex aggression. Well-bred dogs of either sex are the least likely to display these issues. My female marks and is more aggressive than my male due to her insecurity and fear caused by her poor breeding and socialization
