German Shepherds have very loyal tempers if they've been treated well. They can be mean if they've been treated that way or raised to be mean. They can be the most loyal dogs though and very sweet.

Shepherd, Shepard, Sheppard, Shephard and Shepperd are surnames and given names, and alternative spellings and cognates of the English word "Shepherd" (wiki).

The average life span for German Shepherds -- male and female -- is anywhere from 12 to 14 years.

That is what dogs do.

No, the Labrador Retriever is recognised as a completely separate breed to the Golden Retriever. All though both of these breeds were originally bred to retrieve, they were bred along different lines. The Labrador Retriever has a shorter coat and can come in black, brown (chocolate) and blonde (yellow). The Golden Retriever (as it's name suggests) is almost always golden in colour with a longer, flowing coat. There are several other Retriever breeds that look similar, including the Flat-coated Retriever, Curly Coated Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. All of these breeds were bred for a similar purpose but are each individual Kennel Club recognised breeds, except the Golden Retriever and the Labrador Retriever are much more common.

German shepherds the 1# dog bred through the sport of schutshund often have strong enough nerves, good enough scent detection, good enough obedience to be in the military, show dogs are normally not strong enough in these areas.

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.

They usually start at about 5 months, but they can be as young as three months when they start losing teeth. Don't be surprised if erect ears drop during teething. If they were up before teething they should be back up again once teething is done.

Labradors are all one color and test to be a little smaller than German Shepherds. Shepherds tend to have a longer thinner face than Labradors and their cost is all different types of brown. The Shepherd has a different body structure when it comes the the back legs. The back legs are shorter than the front in Shepherds, where they are the same length in Labs.

Staffordshire bull terriers can run approximatley 50kph over 100 meters then they generally slow down to about 35kph.

German shepherds are very intelligent breeds, and can be trained pretty easily - so they are commonly thought of as a calm breed. They are also not very playful since they are naturally bred to be a working breed, so they don't constantly want attention or to be pet.

A male at that age should be: 22.9kg

A female at that age should be: 20.0kg

The spots are probably dermatitis, which is a generic term for inflammation of the skin. Unfortunately, from the description "blotchy red spot around the groin", there isn't much hope for figuring out the cause of the dermatitis. Some of the more common causes include allergies, fleas or other external parasites or a skin infection. You will need to take your dog to your vet to figure out what is causing the red spots.

I agree. No other dog.

first of all NEVER train anything with treats because when you are away from home or wherever you wont be able to give him/her treats and when you dont they will be confused and it will just go downhill from there. anyway start with something simple like sit, lie down , or shake then work your way up. but when your GSD-German Shepherd Dog- does it right simply say one or all of the following- good dog, good boy, good girl, good_____-what ever your GSDs name is-, or even yay you did it! dont forget to pet your dog when you say those things. ITS A SIMPLE PROCEDURE CALLED PRAISING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A rottweiler and a mastiff looks like a tibetan mastiff because tibetan mastiffs have thick coat furs that look like rottweilers.

They might. But it might depend on their behavior and personalities. It is better if there are two dogs with the opposite gender with different ages, such as, a male who is 6 years and a female who is 2 years old.

German Shepherds stay in heat for 12 - 13 days and come into heat twice a year on average.

German Shepherds have a very keen sense of smell, and are very intelligent. This is one of the reasons they are used as service dogs. Police use them to seek out narcotics and to find offenders on the run, Army use them for seeking out explosives, bombs and to warn of advancing enemies. They are also used for search and rescue, seeking out lost victims and also victims of disasters. The breed is very versatile and can be trained to seek out almost anything, these are only a few examples.

no they live with there owners so why would they

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.
