German Shepherd

The German Shepherd Dog (GSD) is a highly intelligent dog and popular pet.

The average weight of a GSD is 75-95 pounds. They are rather large dogs but can be trained to be friendly towards children and other pets. In fact, German Shepherds can be trained to do or behave just about any way you wish them to.

GSD's are generally black and tan, black and silver, black and cream or solid black. There are also differing coat types such as long hair and rough coat types. GSD's do shed continually so it is important to remember this if you have allergies to dog hair.

German Shepherds are extremely popular and have been used as pets, herder, guard dogs and guide dogs for hundreds of years.

GSD's are energetic, adaptable, intelligent and loyal. They will do anything to protect their owner. They are one of the most loyal dogs in the world.

To ensure your German Shepherd is obedient and doesn’t become out of control it is important for him to undergo obedience training at a young age. They learn quickly and this training will benefit him for life.

GSD's require a lot of exercise so suit an owner who has the time and energy to provide this.

Owning a German Shepherd is highly rewarding and a lot of fun!
