Do German shepherds have double coat?
German Shepherds have three coat types: tight (short haired), plush (medium haired), and coated (long haired). The plush coat is preferred. Both the tight and the plush coats are doubled, which means they consist of two types of hairs: stiff guard hairs and fluffy undercoat hairs. The guard hairs shed water while the undercoat insulates the dog. Coated dogs have an extra long undercoat and are lacking guard hairs. Because they are not double coated like the other two, being coated is a serious fault in the conformation show ring.

Why are German Shepherd dogs so big?
Okay, a show breed is typically heavier boned than a working breed but at that weight I presume you are talking about a King German Shepherd which was made for those who wanted an even bigger and more teddy bear looking dog.
They are just as loyal but a lot bigger and more imposing looking to an intruder and more sweeter looking to someone who knows him/her.
According to Wikipedia the King Shepherd can get to 150 pounds so I'm pretty confident this breed is what you mean.

How can you get your German Shepherd puppy to drink more water?
You can get your dog to drink more water by adding low sodium chicken broth to it to enhance the flavor. The bowl might also be the issue. Dogs tend to like to eat/drink out of porcelain better than plastic due to the brighter colors and better odor. Once I added the chicken broth to my puppies water she started drinking much more. Hope this helps!

It depends on if you teach them nice, when there a puppy dog, If you don't then they will be mean.
German Shepherds make great family pets, if you start socialising them and training them early. There is no such thing as a bad dog, it is more down to bad ownership and incorrect training. These dogs are extremely loyal to their owners, and are very intelligent. If you are thinking of getting one, and have never kept this breed before, get a head start by researching the breed, talk to a vet about feeding and health care, and find out about puppy training classes.

If we assume that is a typical number for any year in the last decade, and an average life expectancy of 11 years, we can estimate there are: 11 x 46,054 AKC registered German Shepherds in the U.S. That's roughly half a million dogs.

How can you find out when your German Shepherd go on heat?
Without a veterinarian's examination it is impossible to know for sure until your dog starts to deliver puppies. A veterinarian can perform an abdominal ultrasound looking for fetuses (they tend to be very distinct), draw blood for a hormone level assay or (in late pregnancy) take an abdominal ultrasound to look for mineralized bone.
At home, you can watch for changes in behavior (less energy or more, less outgoing or more, more playful or less, more territorial, more aggressive, etc. - each female is different). You may notice the vulva remains large, as if the female were in heat and you might notice mammary development with secretions on the tips of the nipples.
However, female dogs can also have pseudo-pregnancies, where they appear pregnant but aren't. It takes a veterinarian to sort this out, and to treat a pseudo-pregnancy.
To notice that your dog is pregnant, is not as hard as it looks depending on the type of breed that it you will see diferrent changes time by time.
The bitches nipples will start popping up and you might see white which is the mothers milk.
She might start to have lumps on the side of her stomach which are her pups.
She will become less active, as soon start to run off to be online, and hide to relax before the arrival of her pups.
A bitch is pregnant for about 62 days.
To really be sure so a vet .

What to do if the German shorthaired pointer puppy is biting?
I would suggest positive reinforcement. This means when a dog does something you want it to, you give it a treat. And, if the dog does something bad all you do is say no in a stern voice. When a dog sits, say sit and give the dog a treat or praise. Do this with whichever commands you want to teach your dog. Stay takes a long time, you have to say stay, then go a little bit away(like a step) then go back and give praise and slowly get farther and farther away.
