German Shepherds

your dog still needs time to grow. Mixed breeds take longer to fully grow . Your dog will get bigger and will stop growing at about 2 and then get more muscular. It also depends on how big the parents are

Well in my time I've had three German Shepherds and really never had trouble with any of the large name brands. Though out of the large name brands they seemed to like Iams most. While not obscure the food that they seemed to like most and was suggested both by the breeder and vet was Canin Royal (or Royal Canin... its been awhile) They have a German Shepherd and large breed puppy formula. Its a little more expensive but still good.

Max von Stephanitz is the founder of the German Shepherd Dog breed. His first dog, Hektor Linkrshein, whose name was changed to Horand von Grafrath in 1899, was used as the primary breeding stud and is the foundation of the German Shepherd Dog breed. On April 22, 1899 von Stephanitz and others founded the German Shepherd Dog standard and breed registry.

Working dogs.

5-10 pounds is the general range but obviously the lineage and gender interferes as well.

All dogs are one owner dogs.

The owner is a dogs master,and a dog only has one master.

But dogs do like to live with more than one person.

I have a german shepherd cross puppy. she is 4 months old. when she plays with my kids, she "bites" my daughter. you must remember that this is how puppies play with their siblings. dogs do not have hands, so this is the way they play.

we are trying to stop the biting by saying"ouch" in a loud pitched voice, to get her attention and then say no biting. she is just a puppy and you will have to do this many, many, many times. our dog is still not cured of this habit. i find it interesting that she bites more my daughter, who is the smallest member of our family, as opposed to my husband who is the tallest.

be firm and consistent, the puppy needs to know this is not a game.

The average life expectancy is 10-12 years but it is not uncommon for them to reach 15. The care they receive can affect the life expectancy of individual dogs.

A German shepherd can live up to 15 years, if completely healthy. Although, hip dysplasia is a common ailment in GS's, and it can be life threatening as well as shorten the life span. As long as the animal has regular vet checkups, stays up to date on it's shots, and there are no health complications, your pet should live a long life.

the anwer is a Louis doberman

I'm afraid it is just a Rottweiler, Shepherd mix. You could give it a fancy name if you like. For example if someone crosses an Akita with a Rottweiler, they call it a Rokita, but it will always be a mix what ever you call it. Be sure you don't pay over the odds for a designer dog, they are just mixed breeds with a fancy price tag.

They're the same size as any puppy, which is not very big at all. If you mean "born" as in straight out of the mother's womb, they can be a few (literally just a few) pounds and can probably fit in the palm of your hand. Within the first month drinking the mother's milk, they'll get quite a bit bigger. It's within the first three years of their lives that the German Shephards will continue to grow to be a medium/large sized dog.

Source: I used to have a German Shephard. Best dog I've ever had. They're loyal, intelligent, and everything a dog should be!

Well they should not! Not Brushing or bathing would make them smell. These dogs are a gorgeous breed.

Yes, they may like the cat but they will chase the cat around to play with and I am sure the cat won't like that. It cat may hiss or try to hurt the dog, so I don't recomend putting them together.

Well. Many breeds.

- Rotweiler's

- Akita's

- St Bernard's

- Anatolian Shepherd dog

- Tosa inu

You can estimate by looking at its paws, if they are very large compared to its body then that will tell he is going to be big. As your shepherd gets older you will notice stuff like his tail will drag the floor or his ears will be too big for his head.

The English Shepherd is a medium size dog ranging from 40 to 60 pounds for females and about 40 to 70 pounds for males. I believe the German Shepherd is also classified a medium size dog so you would have to take an educated guess from here.

1. German Shepherd Dog
2. Alsatian
3. Deutscher Schaferhund
4. Schafer
5. Berger Allemand
6. Schaferhund

A GSD should be fed no more than 400 grams a day.

If you feed any more the dog will become obese and have joint and heart problems.

Alright so my dog Zena, a 4 year old female black and tan American shepherd is such a sissy. She is very loyal and friendly to everyone in our household. Though she has another side. Like when she sees stranger dogs outside (are front yard is fenced, and we have three other dogs), she'll raise the fur on her back, her tail will stick out straight and she'll let out this vicious bark. Though when people come over she will let out a muffled bark and hide behind furniture or under my legs. But when there backs are turned she will attempt to nip at their feet, legs, or butt :P She is also afraid of the sweeper and if it is coming in her direction she'll go ninja and leap out of the way. So my question is it normal for my German shepherd to be so fearful and aggressive towards strangers/friends (and she is also like this towards people she has seen before) Why does she do it?

Thanks

German shepherds are a brave and courageous breed, and are more than capable of defending themselves, so no, as with all dogs, it depends on which was the dominant, and which one was more calm submissive.

Yes, when they teeth as pups their ears flop, or fold. They straighten up as they get older, usually by the age of 5 or 6 months. Yes, when they teeth as pups their ears flop, or fold. They straighten up as they get older, usually by the age of 5 or 6 months.

This may seem silly, but if you think about it hard enough, the best answer you're going to get is: food.
