Although German Shepherds have only been bred for a little more than a century, these faithful guardians rapidly became one of the most popular dogs in the world. It’s easy to see why that happened—few dogs are as intelligent, trainable, and loyal as a German Shepherd. That said, due to their selective breeding Germans are often predisposition towards diseases or illnesses such as hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, pancreatitis, and certain types of cancer.Â
