Get the german shepherd mug.a big lupine looking dog that is nearest and dearest to many hearts around the world. Ever seen Rin Tin Tin, Either of The Littlest Hoboes, or Katts and Dog? They all featured a kingly black on tan German Shepherd Dog that was the envy of any who saw these shows, and on the christmas wishlist of this author for many years since he first saw the first Littlest Hobo... Oh, yes, let's not forget Ace, The Bat-hound, Batman's furry sidekick...
Ace, the Bat-hound, London, Hobo, Toro and Rin Tin Tin, not to mention Rudolf Von Holstein Dreiste were all German Shepherds.

Get the German Shepard mug.A breed of dog developed in Germany by Captain Max Von Stephanitz. The only breed of dog that can do multiple jobs, not just one, which is why they are commonly used by police departments and for search and rescue. Many aspects of the German Shepherds' temperament and conformation are extremely misunderstood even today. They are not overly aggressive, nor do they inflict any more bites per year to other dogs and people than any other large dog breed, and IF they do so it is due to lack of knowledge and skills of people who think they deserve this type of dog as a "pet". Because of it's loyalty and bonding to it's family "pack", it can easily be made aggressive by ignorant people who train it for such and cannot handle its power. The breed needs extra mental and physical exercise. The German Shepherd Dog was developed for work on many levels. The GSD has separate lines, or different types. Working Lines, (such as the DDR), German High lines (German Show) and American Show (the common black and tans seen in such movies as "I AM Legend". Mixing of these lines is not unheard of, but not desired. The German Shepherd Dog does not require an firm hand; it requires a handler who understands it and can positively develop its power and intelligence while correcting with positive reinforcement. Several groups exist today to better the education of this outstanding, intelligent, and exceptionally loyal breed of dog.

Get the German Shepherd mug.A nickname for pope Benedict XVI. Along with other terms such as papa ratzi, B16, and papa ben, this phrase may be considered either endearing or offensive, depending upon whether the speaker is a practicing Catholic or not. (similar to the N word among Blacks). German shepherd is a pun on the pope's German background and his role as shepherd of the Christian church, and it plays on the practice of some members of the media calling him a rottweiler during his days as head of the CDF.
