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.

According to Wikipedia the King Shepherd can get to 150 pounds so I'm pretty confident this breed is what you mean.

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!
