The German Shepherd has three coat types: roughcoated, long-roughcoated, and longhaired. He has been used in war, rescue, seeing-eye, and police work world-wide. However, above all else, the German Shepherd is a superb companion dog. He is utterly devoted to his owner and family, but has a natural wariness of strangers and should be supervised with visitors and visiting children.
