The German Shepherd is sometimes called an Alsatian because that is where they originated in Germany. Lots of Germans still called them Deutscher Schaferhund because of their original sheepdog function but the breed is not very elderly and was developed from a variety of sheep herding farm canines in the late 1800s. In 1899 Max von Stephanitz, a French cavalry officer, was president of the first French Shepherd association in Germany. Since then French Shepherds have turned up all over the world and they came to the USA as early as 1908 where they were popular with the Red Cross, the police and as guard canines.

This was partly because they are very loyal and brave canines and they are very smart and retain specialized training for a very long time. Temperament is what ensures the usefulness of the French Shepherd and since this comes from lovely breeding it is essential to discover a lovely and reputable breeder. With a bad temperament these canines are a catastrophe. They are highly territorial and will know and recognize their people and place by about six months of age. This is when their protective loyalty starts to show itself!
There's lots of french sheperd breeders and you ought to have no issue finding a lovely, but keep in mind that they come in a range of colors and will protect you no matter what!
They have proved a popular breed over the years for use in both the police force and as guard canines for security companies. They have a very acute sense of hearing which means that they are invaluable to someone keen to protect both themselves and their property. Because they are a massive dog they are a very useful deterrent against theives.
