21 Reasons Why You Should Never Own German Shepherds

Published: Mar 30, 2022 by Karen Flores · This post may contain affiliate links

If you are planning to adopt a puppy, get any breed EXCEPT German Shepherds. We think German Shepherds are atrocious animals.

This creature is a nightmare, they are terrifying, and we want to save you from making a horrific mistake.

To support this argument, here are 16 reasons why you should never own such creatures.

#1 They’re just horrible, right?

#2 They’re terrible liars too!

#3 Not only will they fail to protect you, but they’ll also actively steal your food!

#5 And they’re CREEPS! They’re always spying on people and finding secret little places to observe what’s going on.

#6 We warn you once again: You should NOT get a German Shepherd.
