"Police Dog" is a job description.
German Shepherds are often used as Police dogs.

No, police tend to use German shepards, but most breeds of dog can be a police dog.
The Belgian Malinois is a very popular police dog.
multiple things they are excellent guard dogs very good snifer dogs so useful for drugs and sniffing out criminals but when the police are with them they must wear special armoured clothing 2 protect them from harm if the dogs would bite
Well, a German Shepherd is a specific breed which most police use... But a German Police Dog can be a Springer, Lab, Rottweiler or Dobermanns are popular.
There are many others but not really that popular.
actually-
you are correct, but let me improve the answer if i may: a gsd is a breed which are used as police dogs. A German Police Dog is any breed of dog or any dog(regardless of breed or mutt) that is used in Germany as a Police Dog.
ABSOLUTELY YES!!! This is because they are intelligent, loyal, and hardworking.
I think WHITE German shepherd dogs can also be police dogs because color of German shepherd dogs' hairs are nothing do with their body and their mind.
the dogs do not actually perform crime, but they help the officers in apprehention of criminal and smelling out drugs of people. shepards are excellet at it all.
Most of the police departments have the dogs but they are not always German Shepard, they just have to be trained right, normally they have at least a little German Shepard in them though
There are about 8,000 German shepherds used as police dogs in the United States.
because they like to smell poo
German shepherds are good guide dogs for a number of reasons: they are large enough and sturdy enough to be able to walk long distances with a partner; they tend to have a moderate to high pack drive, so they enjoy working for people; they are highly intelligent; and they naturally rely more on vision than on scent. Although German shepherds are the breed most people associate with dog guides, many other breeds do this work. Labrador retrievers and Golden retrievers, which share many of the same desirable characteristics as German shepherds, are also commonly used as guide dogs
the k9 dogs are the dogs that have been trained to work the police normal German Sheperds or rottis
No , white German Shepherds are the same as normal German Shepherds . But remember every dog has a different personality .
No. The same breeds of dogs have the same life span but they do not all die at the same age. For Example: The average life span of a German Shepherd is 7-10 years. I have had 3 German Shepherds. One died at 11, one died at 9, and one died at 7.
Yes, they are exactly the same! White German shepherd are white because German shepherds have a recessive gene that makes their coat white.
German Shepherds were developed from working sheep herding dogs who happened to have some wolf blood in them. Wolves themselves were not used in development of the breed.Yes. It is believed that all dogs originated from wolves and were developed by selected breeding by humans. Early dogs used in the German Shepherd breeding program are known to have some wolf blood in them, but over a hundred years of selective breeding they are now a fully domesticated breed.Yes, they are both part of the Canine family; however, they are separate species, where as all breeds of domesticated dogs are the same species. Meaning, a German Shepard is more closely related to a Chihuahua than a Wolf.
yes, same as any dog
No, the German Shepherd became a breed by having general Shepherd dogs bred together until they had a standard.
Well i have a German shepherd and i know a lab and i think they grow at they same rate. if there was a difference i would say the German shepherds grows a tad faster.

If a Shepherds owner is German he will teach him in German, if a Shepherds owner is English he'll teach him in English... Commands are all the same but spoken differently in different languages.
Yes, in fact, they do. It's just hard to notice.
