    Size

    In terms of size, the physical characteristics of female and male German Shepherds differ significantly. While the height of a female German Shepherd is 55-60, a male German Shepherd often reaches 60-65 centimeters. As for the length, the female German Shepherd length varies in the range of 91-99 centimeters. In the case of a male German Shepherd, this figure reaches 99-108 centimeters.

    Weight

    Individual cases of German Shepherd weight are determined by genetics, health, and feeding habits. However, an adult male German Shepherd usually weighs between 30 and 41 kilograms. In the case of a female German Shepherd, this indication is slighter and amounts to 23-32 kilograms.

    Lifespan

    The life expectancy of a German Shepherd varies from 9 to 13 years and is equivalent to about 61-82 years of human life. Nevertheless, remember that these figures are conditional since the life expectancy of an important member of the life expectancy of your beloved companion depends on a healthy lifestyle and a harmonious living environment.

    Fur

    The German Shepherd is adorned with a medium-length, double coat. The upper layer of the fur coat is denser and rougher than the lower layer. It is a well-known fact that the German Shepherd is distinguished by a special tendency to seasonal fur loss. That’s exactly why, in spring and autumn, when the intensity of shedding increases, we recommend repeating the combing procedure daily. As for winter and summer, during this period it is perfectly reasonable to brush your companion animal’s fur only once a week.
