German Shepherd – Caboolture

We are looking for an excellent home for our gorgeous 2 year old male entire working line purebred German Shepherd, Zak. We currently have 4 German Shepherds and need to downsize, so regrettably, we need to find a suitable home for our very much loved Zak. - DOB 21 Jan 2023 - Dark sable, currently 35kg - Spent 3 months in security dog training - Sleeps inside, loves to be outside playing during the day. - Very well house trained - Zak is kept safe and contained by solid fences and kennels, we never tie our dog to a pole or fixed structure. - Zak has a raw diet - Excellent with any visitors we welcome to the property, including elderly, babies and children. We've watched him play with toddlers. Zak is a powerful boy with a very sweet nature, good obedience, high ball drive, very focused, very good with other dogs in his pack, he's happy to share his toys. Zak is able to mix with other dogs in boarding kennels. We're looking for someone who has time to spend with Zak, ensuring he has plenty of one on one time with his master, with sufficient exercise and activity. You'll need yard space with at least 6 foot fences. While Zak has never attempted to jump any barrier or fence, we advise high fences for this large working dog breed. Open to any offers with the priority being a suitable home with a loving owner. All vaccinations and vet checks are up to date. Text 0439 663 086 if you're interested.

Grooming

Grooming

Brush your German shepherd several times during the week to reduce the amount of hair. These dogs have a double coat and shed heavily so daily brushing is recommended.

Origins

The German Shepherd is a somewhat recent breed, dating back to the 1890’s. These dogs owe their existence to one legend – Max Von Stephanitz, a dog breeder and a captain of the German cavalry. Stephanitz wanted to develop a well-rounded working dog.

Long before Von Stephanitz started breeding dogs, farmers in Germany used dogs for herding. In fact, sheepherders would travel for days so that they could breed their female dogs with fine sire.

But as Von Stephanitz noted, no one had taken any interest in developing these herding dogs to a distinct breed. So upon retiring from military life, he began experimenting with dog breeding.

For months, Von Stephanitz studied breeding techniques and traveled throughout Germany attending dog shows. It was during one of these shows that he came across an exceptional, wolfish-looking dog.

He bought the dog and named him Hektor Linksrhein. Later, the dog was renamed Horand v Grafeth. Horand’s powerful physique and high intelligence fascinated Von Stephanitz so much so that he formed a society in its honour.

The ‘Verein fur deutsche Schaferhunde’ was founded specifically to improve on the traits Horand’s descendants.

Von Stephanitz would later advocate for the use of this dog in military service and police work. This is how German Shepherds came to be used in World War I and II.

During these wars, these dogs served as messengers, sentries and ammunition carriers. To date, these dogs are used by the military and in guarding homesteads.

Key Characteristics Of German Shepherds

Are German Shepherds Family-Friendly?

Yes, German Shepherds are great family pets. They have a calm, caring nature and a strong instinct to protect their owners.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

German Shepherds may suffer from:

Hip dysplasia

Degenerative myelopathy

This is a progressive neurological disorder affecting the spinal cord, which leads to weakness and paralysis of the hind limbs and eventually the entire body.

Bloat

Allergies

Nature / Temperament

These dogs are fearless, direct and confident. They are also smart, easy-to-train and fun-loving.

Suitable Environment

Being a large breed dog, they need ample space to play and exercise.

They are best suited for an environment that has plenty of room and a garden.

Other Considerations

  1. German shepherds are active dogs. They need to be kept busy through playing, exercising or working.
  2. They tend to be aloof and suspicious of intruders. Owners can prevent this through early socialisation and experiences.
  3. They make great watchdogs. They look stern and intimidating so they make effective deterrents.
  4. They should be provided with ample mental stimulation.

How can I take good care of my German Shepherd?

Nutrition

The recommended daily intake for a German shepherd is 3 to 4 cups of high-quality dry food. This can be split into two or three meals.

Since these dogs have high energy levels, they need meals that have vital nutrients to sustain their energy requirements. It’s also recommended that you give your dog fresh water throughout the day.

Grooming

Originally, German Shepherds were bred to help herd flocks in extreme weather. Their medium-length coat fit the job nicely as it protected them from rain and snow.

On the flip side, this breed sheds constantly, which is why they have earned the title ‘German shedders’. These dogs shed more during spring and fall, so they should be brushed and bathed more often then.

As for the rest year, brushing them two to three times per week is enough.

Exercise

German Shepherds love challenges. They prefer strenuous activities so long walks and runs are the best form of exercise. They can also take part in ball chasing or Frisbee catching.

Training

The behaviour and response to training differs from one German Shepherd to another. This makes predicting whether this dog breed is easy to train is, a little difficult.

The ease of training depends on the end goal. However, it’s important to have a good understanding of the breed’s innate characteristics in order to develop a successful training plan.

Brain training is a great way to increase the dog’s mental stimulation and strengthen its ability to learn and respond to commands.

For instance, German Shepherds trained to be working dogs have intense temperaments. This makes it challenging to train them. But training them for lighter roles is not difficult.

Most Asked German Shepherd Questions

A German Shepherd for sale from a reputable breeder costs between $500 and $2000 approximately.

Fully-trained German Shepherds for sale are known to cost upwards of $10,000.

This price can vary depending on the dog’s health, bloodlines and form of training given.

They can, but only if you can give them plenty of exercise every day.

German shepherds are people-oriented. But, they are best suited for people who are already familiar with their specific needs.

With adequate training, these dogs can learn not to chase after smaller animals like cats.
