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.

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.
