Sounds like you got a smart one there.
Love them German Shepherds. When I first got mine I trained in tracking with her. She can find just about anything.
She is now old and retired though.
Pop I've had several GS dogs and this guy is the smartest, he is 5 now and I've been able to train him everyday since I retired. He knows what bad animals are and what animals aren't going to give us problems. He does a tour of the open property about every half hour, once he leaves it takes 30-45 minutes to get back, unless there is a problem. He's fought coyotes and even a black bear right here beside the house. When he picks up a scent I can't follow him' sometimes he is gone for 1-2 hours, comes back blood dripping from his face, then we don't have any bobcat, coyote or bear problems for months.
All he wants in return is a drive in my truck, he will sit by the truck for an hour, give him a drive down to the village and he is content again. And never ever leave the truck door open or I have a visitor who won't leave without a little drive.
