Every word in a proper noun requires an upper-case initial. That applies to titles and place names and so on. Exceptions are sometimes made for common connectives such as "in", "of", "the" and "at" inside titles such as "The Catcher in the Rye" and "The Dukes of Hazard".
So your puppy requires *3* capitals, because the proper noun for its breed is German Shepherd Dog.
A German shepherd, on the other hand, is a person who tends sheep, and is either working in Germany or was born there. The word "shepherd" in that case is a common noun, but "German" remains a proper noun.
In "Dogue de Bordeaux", the "de" is French for "of", so need not have a capital letter.

Yes, the word "German" should be capitalized when referring to the language, e.g., "I am learning German." However, it is not capitalized when referring to something or someone from Germany, e.g., "I have a German friend."
