Over the last few weeks, TeamDogs and the fabulous Pooch & Mutt food for dogs company, have been asking the nation to vote for their favourite dog breed.
Now, with just a few days to go until the winner is revealed, we’ve been looking at some of the reasons why you love German Shepherds as much as us.
Michael Hylands recently explained why he thought German Shepherds should win the title of the UK’s best breed.
He said: “Name me one breed as good-looking, or as super-cute as puppies.
“They’re powerful, intelligent, multi-skilled and the most versatile breed I know and despite their fearsome reputation, they can also be brilliantly goofy.
“Unlike other breeds, the German Shepherd isn’t all bark and bluster. These dogs will literally lay their life down for you.”
Here are reasons readers believe German Shepherd should be named the UK’s favourite breed.
Linda Heywood feels like German Shepherds are “complete all rounders,” whereas George Kemp says they are “loyal intelligent dogs.”
