Hitler's dog?
Yes! When Blondie was playing with a black-haired stray, Hitler exclaimed, " Race Mixing!"
When Hitler was planning his suicide, his aides tested the cyanide tablets on Blondie, so, unfortunately, Blondie died and the Russians found the dog's corpse.
They are not vicious unless they are trained to be. They are great dogs, very loyal and trainable.In the old country we kept them as guard dogs, trained to only accept food from one person to defeat the burglars with meat. It took little effort to train them and they were downright vicious and extremely territorial. I never had one as a pet preferring quick mutts for rabbit and partridge chasing.
They were called police dogs in WNY as well. Nobody has mentioned Rin Tin Tin, I'd watch that before I'd watch Lassie...In Denmark, German Shepherds are called police dogs in everyday language, because most of them were working dogs. They are that smart and reliable.

Also a great breed and requiring tons of time and training is the smaller Belgian Sheppard.I love the show Hudson and Rex, brings back fond memories. Once you've owned one they spoil you for other dogs.
Guido came into my family to guard the tool crib where my father worked. I took to training him. German Shepherds will keep you fit, to train them properly they have to be run at least four times a week. A leisurely walk to take care of business wont. It didn't take long for a leash to become unnecessary. After awhile, he was running me. When my father retired, he became strictly my pooch.
The stars of Hudson and Rex, John Reardon and the four legged God called Diesel vom Burgimwald.
