Can i keep Labrador retrievers and German Shepard together?

Yes, I have a German shepherd and a lab and they get along very well. They are both playful and happy animals and love attention. But, if you do keep them together, then make sure that they both have plenty of room. Even though they get along, they still like their space, just like humans. Also, try to get them different dog houses, or, if you have them inside, then make sure you take them on plenty of walks and don't feed them too much because when they're outside, they run and jump and play and get rid of all that fat, but inside they can't do that so watch what you feed them. One more thing, get them plenty of toys, so instead of chewing furniture, clothes, or shoes, they will chew the toys.

How do you identify if its a real German Shepherd and not cross breed?

There is a difference between a registered dog, a purebred dog, and a well-bred dog. You can tell a registered dog by his registration papers. That's the only way. You can assume a dog is purebred if he looks purebred. Purebred dogs don't necessarily have papers. In fact, if they've been through a shelter, their papers have been cancelled if they had any to start with. The kennel club has a program that allows owners of dogs which appear to be purebred to get an "Indefinite Listing Privilege" (ILP) so that they can compete with their dog even if it isn't registered. The catch is that the dog must be spayed or neutered and is not permitted to compete in conformation but only in performance sports like obedience, agility, tracking, and herding. What's the difference between a purebred dog without papers and one that looks purebred? There is no significant difference. They look the same, and you can do the same things with them. Now the well-bred puppy. This is a puppy produced by a skilled breeder who knows her genetics and uses science to plan her litters. This is not the neighbor who has a nice dog and decides to breed it. One clue to a well-bred puppy is his pedigree. If every ancestor for five generations back have OFA numbers and titles, odds are he's a well-bred puppy. Without those titles and health clearances in his ancestors, he's just a purebred.
