  • Yes, I do believe they are as I have a short hair. I think that long haired German shepherds are harder to brush and clean because of their long hair.
  • I own a Long Hair German Shepherd, and we do not have to brush her once a day. They seem like they would get muddy and matted, but actually, I have a retriever, and she get's much more mats than my shepherd. We take them to the groomers for a bath with soap and brushing once every couple months, and in between we don't have to brush her.

Do German Shepard's understand German commands easier then English commands?

German Shepherds don't favor German commands unless they have been trained with them, say from when they were puppies. English is not harder for them to learn because they are GermanShepherds. They just follow commands in the language they in which they were trained.Edit: Actually dogs dont know languages but sound sequels. so it doesnt matter because the dont recognize what language it is.

Is french a easy language or is it harder then German because German is a sick language?

The Department of Defense lists French as one of the easiest languages to learn, but in my personal experience I think German is harder. That seems to confirm the DoD view. I am not German, but I can say German is not a sick language. You might not like it, but German is beautiful in its own way just as French is. Personally I found French rather easier to learn, but that doesn't prove anything.


You are wanting to get a guard dog for your property and you cant decide between a Doberman pinscher or a German Shepherd which would be more sufficient?

Well, it's hard to choose because some German Shepherds and Doberman Pinschers can be friendly and not attack thieves. You must get the dog when its young so you can teach it, but if you get a dog that is older than a year, it is much harder to train it because it won't listen to you anymore. So get a young dog and train it. But if you want a dog to learn how to guard real fast, then get a German Shepherd because they are smarter.

Are Austrian Shepherds good swimmers?

They can. Whether they like to depends on personal characteristics and past experiences. Very lean dogs have to work harder to swim because of their lack of body fat (which makes dogs float). All of my German Shepherds love to swim, especially when they get to retrieve toys in the water.


Can an Akita kill a German shepherd?

Simple answer, yes. If it were stronger, bigger, and/or faster than the German Shepherd and got a good bite into the jugular, it could win in a fight.


When should you be able to start training a German Shepherd?

German Shepherds are incredibly smart dogs. On a scale of 1 to 5 ( 1 being the least smart and 5 being ther smartest) a German Shepherd is 5. I would recommend that you start training the dog at about 2 or 3 months. This way your dog can learn young and do more in its lifetime. You have to be stern but gentle because you do not want to upset the dog. You should have a good relationship with the dog too before you begin any harder trainings. Dogs are very smart, and they can tell when you are mad at them or happy or pround. In the facility where I work, the dogs must be 12 weeks or older. The dogs learn well when rewarded properly. I hope this can be helpful. You may also want to look for other dog training books to help guide you along the way. Some suggestions for German Shepherds are as follows: Dog Breed Handbooks German Shepherd by Bruce Fogle, DVM; Animal Planet German Shepherd Dogs by Susan M. Ewing;German Shepherd Dog by Susan Samms; The German Shepherd Dog by Diane Morgan.


Which is stronger between a German shephard and a labrador?

If labs could beat German Shepherds then the military and police would be using them instead. Can you imagine a 60 lb yellow lab running down a vicious criminal on the run or intimidating Al Quaida prisoners? Give me a break. A German Shepherd would tear a lab to pieces. Their jaws are twice the size with a far greater bite force and longer grip. Their bone structure is way heavier along with their general weight.Hmm, a lab is strong, but gs's are fast and sharp, it'd be pretty even I thinkIt's illegal, I'm only answering this because someone has to answer it.


Why were the Germans discriminated against?

On the whole, German immigrants to the US were welcomed. It is possible that Catholic Germans had a harder time than German Protestants. During World War 1, however, there was anti-German hysteria in all the English-speaking countries, not just the US.
