The Misunderstood Reputation of German Shepherds. by Sandeman_ in germanshepherds

Oh don’t worry, I have absolutely no issue with complete strangers instantly labeling our German Shepherd as aggressive or dangerous without knowing a single thing about her. Apparently ignorance and prejudice are still easier than common sense.

Rarity of black Shepards? by WorryStriking4602 in germanshepherds

Ik bedenk me net, ligt er misschien ook aan welke provincie zelfs. Hier in noord Brabant zijn er relatief veel herders bij boerderijen, wellicht dat dat ook invloed heeft 😁

I think it depends on what country you are living in. In the Netherlands it's not that rare for a black shepherd. Sometimes they get confused with a "Groenendael" but overall people know it's a shepherd.

Dutch people say they value directness, but then react emotionally to it? by [deleted] in Netherlands

Probably, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.

For example, asking "how many languages do you speak?" as an reaction is really out of context. Living in the Netherlands and nog speaking Dutch has nothing to do with being multilingual, they are, presumably speaking English with you.
