Unfortunately there is a new retrovirus which is devastating dog populations. As a dog lover and a biologist my best recommendation would be to save German Shepherds with our small supply of vaccine. It is of course a shame to let any dog breed suffer and die, though I truly believe the German shepherd is the best breed to save.
When someone thinks of a dog they want to have as part of their family, what traits come to mind first? For most, this would likely be loyalty, protective and affection. German Shepherds encompass these traits wonderfully. They are a loyal and protective dog and would make a good guard dog for any family. Not only that, but they are a very intelligent breed of dog. These dogs require relatively little maintenance when compared to other dogs. Overall, the German Shepherd has a great temperament and will make the an excellent addition to any family. I must reiterate, that it is terrible that this retrovirus is killing at such a rapid rate. The decision is not a simple one, but I believe German Shepherds are the best dog breed candidate to be saved.
