Although the breed or at least some of them originate from a place called Alsace, forgive me if that spelling is wrong. I would also like to add here that I mention myself as keeping them because my wife usually keeps a much smaller breed of dog. Okay now we have that all cleared up, I have had several German Shepherds as Man's Best Friend over the years and they have been generally in my opinion quite placid dogs very safe with children, although of course one must take precautions with any dogs and young children, not so much because the dogs are necessarily dangerous but because young children can and often do get out of hand often hurting the dogs and causing them to attack the children. I must say hear that I have never had German shepherds that have attacked my children although they have been apt to attack anyone threatening my children and I believe these dogs do know the difference between play and threat. I did at one time have a Shepherd that I acquired through a person, who had to give him up because he was a long distance Truck driver and the dog was fine while in the truck on the road, but when at home would fight with the owners other dog and would usually get the bad end of the stick. This dogs previous owner the one before the truck driver that is, had mistreated the dog and when I first got him, his name was Shadow by the way, I trained him like all my shepherds I have had , but he would always fail the test of temperament, which is where your dog must sit beside you and allow a stranger to run both hands from the top of his neck down thru to his tail without looking around or becoming agitated. Well Bar from this small floor in his own character he was just one of the best judges of the human character that you could come across. I can assure you this is the truth from my own experiences that I could and always did feel extremely secure with this dog in any situation . To illustrate I could go to sleep anywhere with this dog by my side and other than killing the dog there was no way in the world anyone would get anywhere near me without me knowing about.
