Adult German Shepherds

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.

Welcome to Dreamcatcher German Shepherds!

I had the privilege and pleasure to train and work several German Shepherds in Search and Rescue as well as Law Enforcement.  I traveled the United States and Canada teaching seminars to K-9 handlers of both entities.  I've worked with many - good breeding is essential to both the professional working dog and loving companion dog.
