German Shepherds are a very strong breed of dog. They can be black and tan, solid white, or solid black in color. They have a slightly elongated back and most appear to be crouching down on their rear legs when walking. They have a long bushy tail that is held down when at rest. German Shepherds usually weigh between 70 and 85 pounds and their normal lifespan is around 13 years. German Shepherds can be predisposed to having hip dysplasia, inflammation of their corneas (keratitis), clotting disorders, and digestive problems. German Shepherds do shed and should be brushed once daily to minimize the shedding in your home. German Shepherds require exercise and do best when they have a fenced in back yard to run and play. This is a very loyal dog breed.
