Do you know how dogs were domesticated, and how different breeds began? I'll give you a hint;
Inbreeding and linebreeding. Virtually every single dog breed that exists today, exists because of inbreeding to an extent.
Here it comes - gun control!!!

no shit. but not every dog has temperament issues or mental health issue later on in life now do they? or hip problems or the possibility of being more prone to diseases and other shit. again some breeds are a lot more inbred than others is what i mean. so out of my own personal experiences and what ive read about the breeds u specified im going to just stay with my well mannered Sheppard and be on the safe side.

If you want a dog with little to no health problems, and little to no temperament issues, get a mutt.

3/8 Lab
1/4 Australian Shepherd
1/8 Border Collie
1/8 Great Pyrenees

The Pennysaver has deals on dogs way cheaper than the shelters. You get to see mommy and daddy. Plus you don't have to pay extra for parts missing from the box.i actually love mutts actually.

Not when one side thinks guns are inherently evil, communist, baby-killing devices, and the other side thinks guns are gods infallible gift to the USA.

Brute strength isn't why they use german shepherds. Police use german shepherds because they are extremely intelligent, and even more so in dangerous situations. Furthermore, the german shepherd is known to be a dog that will fulfill any task without any fear or hesitation what so ever; a crucial and highly desired trait. Lastly, the dogs are inherently good at using their nose and ears. I swear on my life that I can put any object, even a brand new and unique one, in front of my dog to smell it, and then hide it anywhere in a 4k sqft house, and she will find that thing in 2minutes or less, with no help. Which brings me to my concluding point. The german shepherd, unlike any other dog out there, instinctively will search and look on their own; every other breed, except for specialized ones, require guidance by a human, especially for long-term direction.
The GSD is the ultimate breed hands down imo.
I have a sticker on my car that says: "My german shepherd is smarter than your honor student.". And it's true in many cases.

LOL!
Given our past debates, my GSD is more intelligent than you; you cant even spell german shepherd correctly.
I can put 10 footballs of various colors and sizes in a small room, and ask my dog to find a specific color and size, and she does it.
She knows over 50 commands, each of in german, english, and hand symbols.
My german shepherd can run 6 unique nfl football routes, including a wildcat draw, as well as 3 where she acts as a WR and can literally catch a NFL sized ball thrown at a speed some of my friends cant catch.
Furthermore, my dog literally converses with us through actions; when she is hungry, she will go up to her bag and 'throw a paw', letting us know its time for her to eat; she does not abuse the system, and uses it as effectively as a human.
Another fantastic ability of my dog is to listen and work; She loves to work, and I love her working. She has a command, "sweep the perimeter", where she will actually run a complete perimeter sweep, even poking drapes open to see through windows, alerting us if need be. We also do tracking. I put her in a corner, and have her sniff an object. I then proceed to hide that object far away, and then move to a neutral location. I then call her with "find it", and she is on her way, completely on her own from that point forward. When she locates the object (100% success rate, even with basil or ganja), she sits and "speaks", letting us know her search has culminated. Best part is, she enjoys the act of search as much as the treat reward for accurate and precise success.
Anyone who doubts the intelligence of GSDs certainly has not had one. I'm speaking from experience, because at one point, I only wanted a border collie due to their known and proven intellect.

We have gun control... you have to have a licence to own one, different types of licence for different guns, clean record, people with mental illness not allowed and have to be kept locked away when not in use. Hardly ever hear of gun crime here... everything else has gone to hell hear but our gun laws arent bad.

i guess your dog also holds several advanced degrees and co-authored your last paper on the eternal self-sharpening power of various blades.
i guess all the various services that use the Belgian Sheppard instead of the German must be just wrong.
i imagine you're the pre-eminent expert on spelling as well? do i spell tomatoe potatoe and colour wrong too? must be grand to have the Ultimate Authority to which you may Appeal at your leisure. perhaps you can tell me how Anthropogenic Climate Change is real, but the Apollo Moon Landing was faked.

Doc,
You're still going on about the magic swords? This is a pot forum, not about OCD.

lol. You could have said the same with a simple: blah blah, blah blah blah, blah, sound of shit being spewed.
Still haven't read the NASA paper I found for you huh? And twisting the debate, stating I said somthing that I didn't. Way to go doc, you're good at this.
Lastly, I have never commented before on your spelling, and lack their of. It was just too funny to see a guy talk down an animal as stupid while repeatedly misspelling the name of the breed, which happens to be extremely easy, due to the fact that the dog is used by shepherds to herd sheep. Go figure you would misspell an intelligent act done by oh so dumb of a dog, at least according to you.
Guess that common sense just passes right over you huh? Much like your ability to read and interpret basic 2axis line graphs.
It's rather hilarious how often you are caught trying to force your incorrect knowledge and opinion on others as truth and fact; like your incredibly deep knowledge of materials; or your knowledge that the GSD breed is "as dumb as rocks".
As dumb as rocks huh? So which breed is so intelligent as to make the GSD seem "as dumb as rocks"? Are you going to educate me about my dog? Is she a bad girl?
e; @ Red
The irony; and I'll prove it
I'm serious. I want you to backup your statement that the GSD is "as dumb as a box of rocks". Else we know you just go around saying a bunch of nonsense, which you clearly think is correct. Enlighten me doc.
"the German Sheppards are too stupid and difficult to train."
What a load of crap. Remember, these same "dumb as rocks dogs" are used as bomb/drug/cancer sniffing dogs, as well as police and military animals. I guess the requirement must have been that they are hard to train and dumb as rocks.
