How should a German Shepherd be cared for?
You feed && water him. You groom him every day. You take him out. you love him.
German Shepherds are generally not good first dogs. They have a tendency to test owners to see what they can get away with and to become destructive through boredom. They require a confident and fair owner who enjoys daily training sessions and lots of activity. Compared to the average dog, German Shepherds need more exercise, both physically and mentally. Expect to give them at least three workouts per day of at least 15 minutes each where you get the dog running hard. Expect to enroll them in obedience school as puppies and to continue their training throughout their lives. Consider competition sports with your GSD to keep them positively occupied. GSDs with too little to occupy them quickly become destructive through boredom. Expect to give daily grooming for their thick double coats. During semi-annual shedding periods, called "blowing coat," expect to deal with a LOT of loose hair and even more grooming. Special trimming by a professional groomer is not necessary.

How many puppies can a German Shepherd give birth minimum?
A female will have pups everytime she is mated but it is cruel and unnessessary to mate too many times. You should not mate a GSD until she is mature, no earlier than 3. You should also let her have a season in between litters and not mate after they are 8, the KC will not register the puppies. I wouldn't let mine (not GSD) have more then 3 litters.
You should also make sure the dog and bitch have had all the health checks that are required BEFORE mating and they do not exceed the average scores.
That would be a gorgeous mix! I'd pay around 5-6 hundred myself! But others might not agree with mixing the breed, you wont be able to "show" them and they would be considered mutts to some people .. why can't they just see the beauty in the pairing? and get off their high horse!
