It is completely normal for a German shepherd to have only one ear or both ears folded; every dog is different. A shepherd should be brushed daily because of the excessive amount of shedding they experience, especially in the warmer months.

How many German Shepherds live in the world?

That's very difficult to calculate, or even estimate how many German Shepherds there actually are. German Shepherd Dogs are the third most popular breed in the United States. In 2004, the AKC registered 46,054 German Shepherd puppies. 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.


What is harder a German shepherd or a Doberman?

a doberman It's a toss up. The question is ambiguous, so I'll cover two meanings. (1) Both breeds are noted for their intelligence. The German shepherd breed rates about 3rd for ability to learn with repetition. Doberman pinschers rate about 5th, but, honestly, it depends upon the consistency of the training. I'm not sure if a random person would notice a difference in the breeds abilities to learn, but German shepherds do rate higher on understanding new commands. (2) For general upkeep, both breeds are working dogs and require a great deal of exercise. Each breed needs a significant amount of daily exercise and mental challenges (i.e. training). Without proper exercise and training, they will find their own activities, such as barking, digging, or chewing. Doberman pinschers are easier to maintain if you have issues with bathing, dog hair and grooming. However, Dobermans do require baths every other week (takes about 5 minutes), periodic coat brushing, ear cleaning and nail trimming. German shepherd have much more hair, but also don't require upfront vet-performed "cosmetic surgery" to dock tails or crop/wrap ears (to make them stand). A German shepherd tolerates cold weather much better than a Doberman.
