Why German Shepherds Make Good Service Dogs

If you are thinking of getting a service dog to help you with your disability, you might be curious: “What dog breed should I get?”

While you can have any dog, some breeds do stand out. One of them is the German Shepherd. Here’s what you should know about this breed and why having one can be the best choice:

Belonging to the herding dog group, the German Shepherd loves having a job to do. They’re highly intelligent and need enough daily exercise. Because of their size and strength, they can provide you with physical support.

We often hear of German Shepherds being used as service dogs for the blind and those with mobility impairment. Since these dogs also have a keen sense of smell, they can be trained to detect changes in blood glucose levels.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
