LOLOLOl hahahah. You say that for your first statement, then post an online, translated article with the reputation of "50 facebook likes". LOLOLOLOL
Dude, please, you're killing me here.
Go google, "german shepherd dumb" and post the result count, and then search, "german shepherd smart" and post the result count here. For every 1 or your articles bashing the GSD, I can literally post 10+ against it.
Oh yeah, GSD are sooo bad for military purposes, so much so that we still utilize them heavily, even in combat.

You're point is that they are dumb as rocks, and hard to train. You lost. No arguing. Face it. I just proved that they are obviously smart and trainable enough to be used as a bomb sniffing dog in the military, as well as a police dog, and finally one that parachutes...
"oh, that must hurt"
huffpo,, youtubes, rick's foreign policy (???? WTF???) and "policedogs.US (oooh a puppy mill. thats authoritative)
and you criticize Der Spiegel? youre pathetic.
one of these is a beligian malinois, the most popular choice in police/military dogs in the world.
the other is a german sheppard.
one is well known for being DUMB hard to train and prone to hip and back problems, and the other is renowned for it's inmtelligence and "high energy" personality.
one was created by german dog fanciers ~1900 so they could slap the word German on a working breed the other is a working breed thats been around for a very long time, herding sheep. in Belgium.
ill give you a hint, its the dog with the high hindquarters and the straight back, not the droopy assed inbred german retarded kid on the right.
Edit: since most journalists (and even some intelligent people) cant tell the difference between these two dogs, and explaining how there is a difference between the belgian malinios and the german sheppard takes column inches, and risks a TL;DR reaction, most reporters simply call a malinois a "German Shepherd" and let it go.
the german shepherd (bowing to pressure on spelling) is not a german working dog bred for herding sheep, it is a german show dog designed in 1899 to LOOK like a sheep herding dog, so german cops and soldiers wouldnt have to drag around a belgian dog, and explain to the people why they couldnt find a properly GERMAN breed for working dog duties.
early attempts to create a german version of the malinois failed miserably by breeding their "german breed" of faux-sheepdogs with malinois they got good results, results which were more malinois than the "german sheepdog" of bavarian fantasy
the german shephed dog is like the nazi state religion, a LIE cobbled together from ersatz history, heroic fiction, phony nationalist epics and a healthy dose of the overweening germanic pride for which the krauts are so well known.
even now the german shepherd is not used as a working dog nearly as often as you may read in the pres, since the malinois LOOKS like the german breed, but hasnt had 60 years of propaganda and nationalist pride for a press agent. the "Real" german sheherd dog is a slope backed, splay hipped, taildragger that cannot run well (a neccessity when herding sheep) and is NOTORIOUS for its dim witted obstinacy in training. if your dog were pedigreed you would call it a malinois or aslatian, since it does not conform to the standard of the german breeders.
remember,dog in front frog in back... thats how you spot the german shepherd.
