I was amused to learn that nearly one in every three individuals write out the word German Shepherd incorrectly, spelling them German Shepards instead. I am shocked that this word is so regularly misspelled, and I'm even further surprised to know that I write it this way for so loads of of my life.

I detest spelling words wrong & I always aim to avoid it. I am always careful to make sure that I'm precise with my spelling, however like just about any individual, sometimes I simply mess up. The great thing is that I'm going to give you an effortless way to recall how to spell this breed of dog correctly.

Follow my little procedure here and you'll always recall that it is not German Shepards, but shepherds.

Remember back to why this breed of canine was bred and maybe you will already figure this out. The German Shepherd was bred as a labor dog, and it was only at the turn of the century that this breed came to existence.

People in Germany desired a canine to help herd sheep. Think of the words herd & sheep now, & then reverse them. You don't think of the German Shepards (I am kidding) presently as sheep herding dogs, as they're typically used by police to combat crime, in airports to find drugs, and in other places that rely on the dog's strong olfactory senses.

This, though, is why they were bred, & remembering this will make it a lot easier to write the word appropriately.

As long as you seek to keep this in mind every time you write or type out the word, I think you'll get it precisely from here. Do not feel too badly regarding it since 1 in three individuals do spell it wrong.

I hope this has been helpful. Here's to a few spelling triumphs later in life when it comes to this fantastic type of canine.
