German shepherds eat around 2-3 times a day. They're big dogs and should be fed regularly. When they're puppies you should feed them 2 times a day.

Maybe this summer. 2-3 times daily is probably the best solution to feeding your German shepherd.

They're not dogs from hell. The lifestyle you live will directly impact how well a German shepherd will fit in your home. These dogs are not couch potatoes. They require daily exercise. Failure to do so will cause them to release their energy in other ways--some which you might not be fond of. They are also a very intelligent breed. They require mental stimulation, as they will get bored easily. Try hiding treats and have them find them or give them stimulating toys. If you do not have the time or willingness to give your German shepherd the appropriate exercise and attention, they may be a dog from hell for you.
German Shepherd bites can cause significant damage due to their strong jaws and powerful bite force. Injuries may range from puncture wounds and lacerations to more severe tissue damage, nerve injury, or even fractures, depending on the circumstances of the bite. In some cases, bites can lead to infections or long-term psychological effects for the victim. Immediate medical attention is often necessary to assess and treat the injuries properly.
No there is not a miniature breed. German Shepherds Dog Breeders and Societies prefer to keep the bloodlines clean. There are times when a German Shepherd may mate with a smaller breed of dog, but this has nothing to do with dog breeders.

They are miniaturizing Staffordshire Terriers, Border Collies and various other breeds, but most are not officially recognized as show dogs. ALL true German Shepherds are just that and to miniaturize a breed it means mixing that breed.In checking about this question I discovered this answer "Dwarf German Shepherd Dog. This is not a miniature version of the breed, but a genetic defect that can cause multiple health problems and is referred to as pituitary dwarfism. It appears to occur in many different families, and afflicted dogs require lifelong veterinary care to maintain health and coat. Dwarves are usually identifyable at birth, and are not simply runty animals stunted by health issues. Secondary problems include pannus, thyroidism, allergies and poor coat. Many can become nearly bald with age, and none grow much larger than 20 or 30 pounds. The temperament of dwarves however appears unaffected, and they show the character typical of their family. If well cared for, they can live a long and happy life, and make a charming companion."taken from:The Illustrated Standard of the German Shepherd DogWritten and Illustrated by Linda Shaw MBA

Yes, a German Shepherd can potentially break human bones with its bite, as they possess strong jaws and a powerful bite force. On average, their bite force is around 238 to 250 psi (pounds per square inch), which is sufficient to cause serious injury, including fractures. However, such instances are rare and typically occur under extreme circumstances, such as during a protective or aggressive response. Proper training and socialization can help mitigate aggressive behaviors in this breed.
