We don’t usually use the term ‘cute’ to describe the bravest dog breed in the world. If anything, German Shepherds are generally described as loyal, majestic and protective. But these adorable German Shepherd puppies will change the way you look at these stalwart canines. A German shepherd is likely what comes to mind when considering a police or military dog. Indeed, these large-sized working dogs are known to be associated with being on the line of duty.
Strong and agile, these robust dogs make the most reliable watchdogs. They are extremely loyal to their owners but can be aggressive towards strangers, especially when they’re threatened. These canine breeds are also intelligent and easy to train, making them the top choice for military dogs and police K-9 units. Furthermore, they are endowed with excellent scenting ability making them a perfect fit for search & rescue operations and as members of a bomb squad. But before they became valorous canines, they were adorable pups first. And if you’re wondering what GSD puppies look like, we’ve got these pics to show you how cute they really are.

This valiant canine breed is the second most popular breed in the United States, with the Labrador Retriever taking the top spot. Of course, taking the second spot means a lot considering the vast multitude of canine breeds in the world. And it’s easy to see why these brawny doggos are so well-loved. But, the puppies look nothing like their brawny adult counterpart. As pups, they look tiny and cuddly like cute baby bears. Moreover, they are ready to play and snuggle.

While these puppies are very wary of strangers, they tend to let their goofy demeanor loose when they’re around their owners. As household pets, they are protective of their families. They are willing to put their lives on the line to protect their loved ones against threats and danger. Part of their purpose is to please their humans and to make sure they’re safe. Even when they grow up to become intimidating guard dogs, they are always up for snuggling with their human companions.
