German Shepherd – Murrumbateman

These much loved puppies are ready to go to their new homes. There are seven of them, four boys and three girls. They all crave cuddles, some even more than eating. Mum and dad are both here so you can see them when you come to visit the puppies. This will give you an idea of how big they might get and what sort of personalities they'll have. The parents both have short fur, so not as much shedding, and perfect hips. The puppies have all been microchipped and had their first vaccination.

German Shepherd – Ipswich

11mo German Shepherd puppy for adoption due to circumstances changing and I am struggling to make enough time for him anymore. He is toilet trained, crate trained, can come, sit, drop, wait and we are working through some other commands as well. He loves being with people and would suit someone who works from home or can spend many hours a day with him. He is very active and quite motivated. He is friendly with children, but we have been working on socialising him with other dogs and cats as he gets very excited.

Andrew Seidel


German Shepherd – Swan Bay

7 month old pure breed German Sheppard male puppy, for sale. To an extremely loving home only! His name is Jett & definitely knows his name! Up to date with vaccination. Microchipped. Not desexed yet, as vets prefer to do that at 12 months old. He is my son's dog, but just doesn't have the time for a very energetic dog! Jett needs to be with someone who has the time to walk him & the space to run. He usually comes when called. Knows the basics, sit, down, come, roll over, shake (loves to hold hands) 😆 Loves his belly rubbed! Loves chasey with the ball. But he's the one who has to be chased, lol. Loves my 2 little children. Fine with a cat, until the cat walks away 😒 He gets distracted when eating food, so needs the attention to learn to focus. He is a gorgeous Nana's boy. It breaks my heart to let him go, but it's the best thing for Jett. We are asking for $1,200. He will come with whatever food we have left at the time. He can be viewed any day, usually any time. And of course, please make some time to sit with him when viewing. $1,200. Located in Swan Bay.

Grooming

Brush your German shepherd several times during the week to reduce the amount of hair. These dogs shed a lot 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 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 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, 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 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.

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?

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

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 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.
