German Shepherd – Schofields

Axel. 6 months on 16/01/26. Intact Male, Microchipped and Vaccinated. He landed with us, due to someone not being able to keep him at 10 weeks. He is a smart boy but our family situation has changed this year were I am unable to spend time to train and really be there for Axel. I am starting to travel alot for work also. He is reactive probably due to teething and need someone who can look after him like he needs. He had a structured routine and is on wet and dry food. He has been going to a pet sitter twice a week and can be friendly so long as other don't aren't being reactive too. He is biting, everyone in the house including older children so it's am emotional decision to try to rehome him to a loving home.

German Shepherd – Nicky

Our family is blessed with two gentle, purebred German Shepherds—a solid black mother and a solid white father—who adore our children and fill our home with joy. After welcoming a beautiful new litter, which will be their one and only, we are now seeking dedicated families for these precious pups. Each puppy is as unique in looks as they are in spirit. Taking after both parents, they have lovely long coats in a range of colours from solid black to striking black, tan, and white. Many have adorable highlights and all sport their plush fur in a way that perfectly suits their very cute personalities. Raised right in the heart of our home, they spend their days playing together on our lawn and garden area, and sleep comfortably indoors each night. This loving, balanced routine provides essential early socialization, and they are already showing the loyal, and loving traits that make this breed so special. If your home is ready for a devoted and intelligent four-legged family member, we would be delighted to connect. Puppies DOB 4th December 2025 and vet checked. When they are ready they will be vet checked, wormed, vaccinated and microchipped.

German Shepherd – Primrose Sands

Nothing beats the love, loyalty and security of a GSD!

They will not be going anywhere before 8 weeks. As the mother does not have the White gene, the majority of these puppies are " fawn". Please see pic of an elder sibling to see how they will look when grown. Their personalities are starting to come through now. They will only be going to approved homes, ie secure, fenced yards, sleeping areas, and indoor/ outdoor areas. We are registered with RPBA #16897 They will be wormed, flea treated, vaxed and micro chipped. Deposit required to hold. Will be taken off total purchase price.

German Shepherd – Stafford Heights

Lulu- A couch potato who loves your company. Goofy and playful, would rather be your shadow than outside. Walks well on lead, no history of defects in DNA testing when I brought her. I also have an 8-year-old Border Collie, and all was fine with 2 dogs until I had to move off the acreage I was on, now I can't have the 2 of them. Lulu also lives with a cat, no problems. Very clever Girl but needs more training. Her parents were trackers. Will recall, sit, drop, wee on command last thing at night. She is desexed, vaccinated, wormed etc. and will need to go to someone strong. She is a healthy golden sable 2-year-old pup. She has been around my grandchildren, great guard dog, not really socialized with other dogs outside of the family. Doesn't like Magpies, or possums. Fed once a day, food orientated so great for training. Loves her squeaky toys and balls, usually chases the dog with the ball, rather than the ball, all the while with a toy in her mouth. Puppy preschool completed when younger. Lulu sleeps inside with me nightly. She is just an all-round great dog, needs an attentive home, your rewards will be worth it.

Grooming

Grooming

German Shepherds have a double coat that requires regular brushing to keep it in good condition and to manage shedding.

Origins

Originating from Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, German Shepherds were initially bred for herding sheep. However, their versatility soon saw them serving in military and police roles, especially during and after World War I.

Key Characteristics Of German Shepherds

Are German Shepherds Family-Friendly?

Yes. With proper training and socialisation, German Shepherds can make excellent family pets. They are known to be loyal and protective of their families, including children. However, early socialisation is crucial to ensure they are well-adjusted and comfortable in various situations.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

German Shepherds may suffer from:

Hip dysplasia

Degenerative myelopathy

Bloat

Allergies

Nature / Temperament

Loyal, Smart, Versatile, Protective, Hardworking

Suitable Environment

German Shepherds do best in homes with ample space for them to move around. A home with a securely fenced yard is ideal. They can adapt to apartment living as long as they receive sufficient exercise and mental stimulation.

Other Considerations

● A German Shepherd named Arrow is known for parachuting from the sky in South Africa to catch poachers, showcasing not only the bravery but also the versatility and intelligence of this breed in action against wildlife poaching.

● German Shepherds were the first breed to be trained as seeing-eye dogs to assist the visually impaired.

● Among various dog breeds, German Shepherds are recognized for their remarkable intelligence. They ranked third in intelligence among 100 different dog breeds.

How can I take good care of my German Shepherd?

Nutrition

It’s essential to provide a balanced diet that caters to the nutritional needs of German Shepherds. They require a diet rich in protein to support muscle development, fats for energy, and carbohydrates for sustained energy. Commercial dog foods or a well-planned home-cooked diet can meet these needs. It’s advisable to consult with a veterinarian to design the right diet plan for your dog.

Grooming

It’s essential to brush your German Shepherd at least 2-3 times per week to remove loose hair, prevent matting, and keep their coat healthy.

Exercise

German Shepherds are active and require regular exercise to maintain a healthy body weight and to burn off energy. Daily walks, runs, and play sessions are crucial. Engage in activities that challenge your German Shepherd’s mind such as puzzle toys, obedience training, and agility courses.

Training

Expose your German Shepherd to various people, animals, and environments at a young age to help them become well-adjusted adults. Teaching basic commands like sit, stay, come, and down are crucial for safety and good behaviour.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked German Shepherd Questions

Yes, German Shepherds are known to bark more than some other breeds, as they are protective and watchful.

Yes. German Shepherds may exhibit a degree of aloofness when encountering other dogs for the first time. However, as they become acquainted and build trust, they can form close friendships with other dogs.

Finding a reputable German Shepherd breeder is the key to getting a healthy, well-behaved German Shepherd puppy. A puppy from an ethical breeder has a much better chance of growing into a calm, gentle adult dog. The average cost of a German Shepherd puppy for sale in Brisbane is usually around AUD $1500 to $3500.
