Adult German Shepherds
The
AKC Standard says the German Shepherd "has a distinct personality
marked by direct and fearless, but not hostile, expression,
self-confidence, and a certain aloofness that does not lend itself to
immediate and indiscriminate friendships. The dog must be approachable,
quietly standing its ground and showing confidence and willingness to
meet overtures without itself making them”.
That's a great description of an ideal German Shepherd.
When
you're talking German Shepherd Dog maturity there are many factors
involved. Bone freeze occurs around 11 months. There will be no more
"growth" after that, but they will "fill out" until the age of 2 and
some, beyond that. In our experience, when they are 3, German Shepherd
Dogs are mature mentally and should be considered an Adult.
