what are the general drawbacks of german shepherds, you think?

German Shepherds are great dogs, totally loyal to their masters.This world is not a perfect world so everything produced comes with defects. When it comes to health problems, German Shepherds come with frequent hip problems and bad breeding has worsened this problem If you are a new owner of a German shepherd you have to have a close watch on this. German shepherds are also dogs which loves loads of activity so if you keep them caged in your house for long they are not going to like it and may become very clumsy, so do make sure you give them regular training and exercise. Other than these problems, they are perfect companions.

I'm a little unsure of what you're asking, but I can't say I've ever had a bad experience with a German Shepherd -ever. They are the smartest, most loving, most protective dogs, and I've never met a bad German Shepherd. I've always owned dogs that were German Shepherd or part Shepherd, and they've always been absolutely wonderful dogs. So smart, so caring, they are as close to perfection in dog-form as it comes for dogs!
