German shepherds are very affectionate, have a strong sense of being in a pack, and cannot handle loneliness very well. They can very well be left alone for a few hours but are not independent dogs. If left alone for too long a German shepherd will eventually fall into depression and may show signs of increased stress. If you are regularly away from home for more than six hours at a time, you should consider adopting another breed of dog.
