German shepherd

Morphological evolution and the drift of selection

The German Shepherd, once the most popular dog in France, has suffered the repercussions of aesthetic standards pushed to the extreme. The exaggeratedly sloping back sought after on display has unfortunately favored the early appearance of disabling osteo-articular pathologies.

An intelligent, loyal and extremely sensitive dog

Behaviorally, the German Shepherd shines with its adaptive intelligence and unfailing loyalty. He is a working dog who constantly needs to feel useful to his human reference in order to fully flourish.

Prevent health problems

To limit the risks of hip and elbow dysplasia, it is essential to carefully select the breeding stock of origin, ensure a balanced diet and avoid repetitive jumping throughout the animal's growth period.

Integrate mental work into your daily life

Don't neglect his intelligence: tracking, rhythmic obedience and fun obstacle courses are excellent ways to exercise your companion while strengthening your mutual bond.

Physical and intellectual activity of the German Shepherd

He is a working dog par excellence. He needs to exert himself physically but especially mentally. Tracking games, rhythmic obedience or agility are perfect for him. An inactive German Shepherd will quickly develop behavioral problems out of frustration.

Loyalty and education

Devoted body and soul to his social group, he can be suspicious of strangers. Firm but caring training is necessary to make it a stable dog. Absolutely avoid power struggles that would make him fearful or aggressive.

Breed Health

Coxofemoral dysplasia is the black spot of the breed. Choose a breeder that practices official screening. His back requires special attention as he grows.

Genesis of the German Shepherd

Created at the end of the 19th century by Captain Max von Stephanitz, the German Shepherd aimed for utilitarian perfection. His courage, versatility and flair have propelled him to the forefront of police, war, detection and rescue dogs around the world.

Structured sports activities

The German Shepherd loves rigorous work. Sports tracking, obedience or utilitarian research will fill their need for social utility. A clear structure prevents him from assuming an excessive role of guardian.
