About German Shepherds

The German Shepherd is a large and intelligent breed that was originally developed in Germany in the late 19th century for herding and guarding sheep. This breed quickly became popular for its versatility and was used for a variety of roles, including police work, search and rescue, and as service dogs for people with disabilities. They are recognized as being highly intelligent and trainable, making them popular in a variety of dog sports such as obedience, agility, and herding trials.

The German Shepherd is recognized by several registries, including the American Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club, and the Canadian Kennel Club. These registries sponsor shows and events that allow breeders and owners to showcase their dogs and compete against others of the same breed. German Shepherd show competitions typically include conformation shows, obedience trials, and performance events that test the dogs' abilities and working skills.

German Shepherd Health & Genetics

The average height of a German Shepherd is 22-26 inches (56-66 cm) for males and 20-24 inches (51-61 cm) for females. The average weight is 50-90 pounds (23-41 kg) for males and 40-70 pounds (18-32 kg) for females.

The German Shepherd is a generally healthy breed, but like all breeds, it is prone to certain health issues. Some common health concerns in this breed include hip dysplasia, a genetic condition that affects the hips and can lead to arthritis, and elbow dysplasia, a genetic condition that affects the elbow joint. Other health issues that have been reported in the breed include bloat, a condition in which the stomach fills with gas, and eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy.

It is important for all German Shepherd owners to work with their veterinarian to ensure their dog receives regular check-ups, vaccinations, and any necessary medical treatment to keep them healthy and happy. Regular exercise and proper nutrition are also important for maintaining a healthy and happy German Shepherd. This breed requires a significant amount of physical and mental stimulation, so it is important to provide them with plenty of opportunities for exercise and training.
