A Certified Smarty-Pants: Ben is incredibly focused and eager to please his humans. He already knows `Sit` and will pop his bottom onto the ground the exact millisecond you ask.

Social Potential: Ben showed some polite interest in other dogs he saw at the shelter.

Ben is available to foster or adopt at Prince Georgeâs County Animal Shelter located at 3750 Brown Station Road Upper Marlboro, MD Reel- .facebook/share/r/198qWWC3kP/

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
