However, they are not recommended for families with small children (9 years or younger).

We look at the level of German, not the actual number of courses. The equivalent of two years of college level German with a "B" average is required. This can be met by completing a two year sequence (e.g. German 101-202), or by taking advanced coursework that already indicates you are beyond the two year level (e.g. a 3rd year composition course and/or literature course taught in German). My school has a program in Germany, but not in Munich.

What is the life expectancy of a German shepherd?

Frequently Asked Questions about German Shepherds
Most lines of GSD's will live to between 10-13 years of age. 11-12 years is probably a very reasonable expectation. A GSD becomes "middle-aged" between 5-7 years old, and is generally considered "geriatric" at about 10. Their food intake and exercise and nutrition needs may change over this period of time. They may begin to develop stiffness in their joints (much like people do as they get older).

Frequently Asked Questions about German Shepherds

What is a long-coated German shepherds?

Frequently Asked Questions about German Shepherds
The correct GSD coat is relatively short with an obvious undercoat. As such it is quite waterproof. Some dogs are born with long coats which usually, though not always, are devoid of undercoat. Such coats are less useful and more difficult to groom, but many pet owners seem to like the long-coated version. Thus there is not strong selection against it, though very few breeders would deliberately breed from long-coated stock.

What to do when people don't like your German Shepherd?

Abby K-9 )
Look, some people don't like German Shepherds for whatever reason - some are afraid of them because of their size, because how they're portrayed in the media, because how much they shed, because they know them as police dogs, etc. etc. Some people just don't like dogs. And there's very little that you can do to change that. You can try to educate them, but some people are not interested in learning new things, and just refuse to like dogs no matter what.

Source: Staeglich; Butz 30. What role did the Einsatzgruppen play in the German war effort?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Holocaust Revisionism
Because the fight between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany was a largely ideological one, and the Soviet Union was not a signatory of Geneva Convention agreements on the conduct of war, it was rightly assumed by Hitler that the Soviets would not fight by the rules. The Einsatzgruppen were police units assigned to the pacification of occupied territories in the east.
