I love German Shepherds! They are a large-sized breed of working dog which originated in Germany!
how big do they get ?
Well, German Shepherds are supposed to be longer than tall and their ideal proportion is 10 to 8/5.
oh wow, how long do they typically live ?
About 10 to 12 years and they are part of the Herding Group and were originally bred to herd sheep.
what are they used for today other than just pets ?
Well, due to their strength, intelligence, and trainability, they are preferred for many roles in police work and the military.
I think i have seen our police department use them in their K9 unit
You probably have! They are the second most registered breed at the American Kennel Club.
