German Shepherd Dog Quick Facts
- Origin: Germany
- Size: Adult males typically stand around 24 to 26 inches (60 to 65 cm) at the shoulder, while females range from 22 to 24 inches (55 to 60 cm). Their weight can range from 50 to 90 pounds (23 to 41 kg).
- Breed Group: Herding Group
- Lifespan: 9 to 13 years
- Coat: GSDs have a double coat that consists of a dense, straight, or slightly wavy outer coat and a soft undercoat. Colors include black and tan, sable (a mix of black and tan with a pattern of dark-tipped hairs), and solid black. The Black German Shepherd’s coat color comes from a recessive gene. Along with the White German Shepherd and the Isabella Blue German Shepherd, a liver-sable colored GSD, the Black German Shepherd is considered rare.
- Temperament: Loyal, determined, intelligent.
- Exercise Needs: High.
- Training: German Shepherds are among the most intelligent dog breeds and are highly trainable.
- Grooming: Regular grooming is important. Their double coat sheds year-round and more heavily during shedding seasons. Brushing a few times a week helps manage shedding and keeps their coat healthy.
- Health: Common concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, conditions affecting the ears (such as ear infections) and eyes (such as cataracts), and degenerative myelopathy.
- The most famous GSD is probably Strongheart, who starred in over 20 silent films in the early 1920s.
