The look of a German Shepherd
Knowing what to look for in a Pure Breed German Shepherd may sound difficult at first, yet once you read further, you will find it is not so hard. We offer you some simple industry standard requirements to follow when going to a Breeder to select your German Shepherd.
Essentially, the German Shepherd is classed as a large dog. A German Shepherd’s most significant features are its pointy ears, rounded head and large eyes. Their tails are long and their ears are often pointing up, when they are excited and alert. The German Shepherd is a muscular dog and its body measurement is usually much longer than its height measurement.
When looking for a German Shepherd puppy, make sure that they do not appear too shy, or nervous. A confident German Shepherd is the best dog to own. When watching a German Shepherd walk, they should show balance and strength in their hindquarters.
Once you have established that your German Shepherd puppy is confident and strong, you should check that their mother and father have the appropriate breeding qualifications. The accepted American standard for German Shepherd Breeding is a ‘Good’, or ‘Excellent’ OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) Score.
Overall, the German Shepherd is a good-sized dog to own and an attractive breed and is easy to keep. German Shepherds are a great dog to have inside and don’t mind being outside either, as long as they have somewhere comfortable and warm to sleep.
