How big would your German shepherd wolf mix get?
It depends on the individual dog.
A common test is to take a dog's weight at 4 months of age and divide it by 16. Then take that number and multiply it by 52. That is the maximum you should anticipate the dog weighing.
Where can you buy German shepherd puppies near 27320 for 400 dollars or less?
If you want a GOOD quality dog with LESS chance of developing German Shepherd prone illnesses you pay the right price.
If you can't afford the price to buy a German Shepherd you certainly can't afford its food, flea, worming and any other problems it may need medical help for.
How much water should a dog drink each day?
I just read that a dog should drink 50ml per pound. Excessive thirst in both dogs and cats is a very specific sign of an underlying problem. Normal water consumption in a dog should not exceed 50 milliliters (a little less than 2 ounces) per pound of the dog's weight in a 24-hour period. A 50-pound dog, for example, should drink no more than 2.5 liters (10.5 cups) of water a day. COULD I PLEASE ASK WHERE YOU got this information? I have a 15 year old Jack Russell who is very sick. The vet said to give him one 5mg prednisone a day. Because he wasn't drinking anything. And was dehydrated. He is now after 3 days drinking 18 to 20 oz a day. My husband thinks that is enough! I do not think it is enough?
My dog began drinking much more and I found out she was diabetic and had to give her insulin. Might want to ask your Vet, especially if she needs to urinate more too!
SO PRETTY MUCH AS MUCH AS IT NEEDS!!! :)

What is the most ferocious dog?
The last person stating that the Pit bull is the most aggressive is a misinformed conformist. Such an amateur answer.
The Chow Chow has shown an aggressive temperament in many studies. However, I can name many breeds that have shown more aggression in tests. No one can say for sure which breed is the -most- aggressive. It would be impossible to get the 100% correct answer without testing every pure bred dog in the world. ANY breed has the ability to show aggression. It's all about TRAINING. Training can turn an "aggressive breed" into the perfect family pet!
What is better a labrodor retriever or a German Shepherd?
If the family has young children and has never owned dogs before and isn't experienced at training or handling dogs, then either a golden retriever or a Labrador retriever would probably be better than a German shepherd. German shepherds are generally not appropriate for families with babies or young children.
However, both golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers need to be very well trained and very well socialized to live successfully with a family, so whatever breed is chosen the family needs to commit together to devote the necessary time (and it is a LOT of time) to train, socialize, and care for the dog. This is a commitment and decision that no family should make lightly.
What dog breed mix looks like a small German shepherd?
Don't bother. There are enough unwanted dogs about and plenty of people breeding mongrels and giving them stupid "breed" names to make money. Your puppies will be mongrels and resuce centres are full of them. Get down to your local one and see, you may find a dog that looks like a small GSD.
How big does a German shepherds backyard need to be?
It depends on the type of other dog but a German Shep needs alot of room to run around and play. if the other dog is a smaller dog like cavalier king Charles spaniel or smaller with a GSD needs alot of room, they get huge, i had one.
Walking a GSD doesn't cut it either. Their stride is much longer than ours. Their true gait, a trot, is much faster than that. They need various places to run off leash, explore, meet other people and dogs for a minimum of an hour a day. If the dog is European, the minimum is 2 hrs or more daily. I exercised my male continuously for 4 hrs straight one day. He was still ready for more. I was dead!
I rescued my GSD's brother off a chain, both German Working line dogs. He was 2 yrs old and always leash walked due to where they lived. The chain because he jumped the fence trying to get more exercise.
I took him home, got a vet apt and then we went to the huge fenced woods next door. We walked to the middle of the meadow and I unsnapped his leash. He flew out of site so fast I almost missed it.
I knew he'd be back. I trusted him as you must trust yours too.
Don't know how far he went or where but he came back the most joyous dog I've ever known. He stopped near us, an airplane caught his attention, then a bird, then he watched the clouds. His entire being changed within 15 min. His pride in himself returned.
I took him that evening to a lake with a trail around it. Before I got to the trail from our car, a woman offered me $1,000 cash on the spot for him. flea bitten ears, a foot of hair missing from his tail with a kink in it and behind in his shots, his coat dull. His presence had totally changed to pride oozing from every inch of him.
I turned her down, took him around the mile trail telling him about a thousand times what a good dog he was. He was SO proud of himself by the end of that walk his shoulders were up, his ears were up, his tail was proud! I doubt if he'd had that much attention for a long time. Every thing he did on that walk, pass a dog and be courteous, pass people and be nice, stop when I stopped, everything, Good .....name, Good dog, Good name!
GSDs will need a morning walk in order to eliminate their bowels. As long as you can make the walk a fast pace stopping with him when he wants to smell things.
In the evening they need a 1-2 hr off leash free run. Activities always various, Locations always varied. They need to be learning almost continuously. This is one breed who loves learning. and adore pleasing you if they respect you.
Then another walk before bedtime.
They must move to eliminate their bladder and bowels.
Then they'll be ready for apartment living. But keep the apt cool when you're away. I set mine at 58 degrees. My Shepherds love to lie on the deck in a snow storm. Leave a window where they can look out to see what's going on while you're way.
Leave them loose in your apt. They're trustworthy if exercised well.
Use them for what they were bred for, protection.
Be sure they get to play in those first snows of the season. They go crazy to play in snow.
And if you have a Shepherd give him a big kiss for us and tell him GOOD DOG, too!.
