      Contrary to what is said in this article German shepherds do have a variety of health issues. That being said i personally would never have anything other than a German shepherd ! I’ve had several & they all had health issues. Pancreatic inefficiency , seizure , ruptured splean , Back problems . All very common issues . But they’re the most loyal family member you’ll ever have.

    Together with every little thing which appears to be building throughout this specific subject material, many of your viewpoints happen to be quite radical. Even so, I am sorry, because I can not subscribe to your entire suggestion, all be it refreshing none the less. It appears to everybody that your opinions are not entirely justified and in actuality you are yourself not really totally convinced of your point. In any case I did take pleasure in reading it.
