Black German Shepherds Make Great Pets

Saturday, October 4th, 2008 Jan Ryan

The Black German Shepherd has retained the more traditional look of a German Shepherd through the years. This is one of the main differences between the Black German Shepherd and the regular German Shepherd. The Black German Shepherd is also larger with a much straighter back and it does not “cringe”. Cringing is an appearance that is common to German Shepherds. The coat of a Black German Shepherd can be long or short. It can also have feathering and skirting with a flowing mane.

These dogs are very good-natured dogs and are very loyal to their owners. They very rarely ever back down and are very self-assured and watchful dogs. Their training should begin when they are at a young age, as these dogs are very trainable. Hip and elbow dysplasia is a concern among Black German Shepherds and a careful watch for this is important for the dog owner.

A Black German Shepherd is a great dog in which to make an investment. These dogs run between eight hundred and one thousand dollars, but are well worth the investment. The darker the coat color and the more luxurious it is, the more expensive the dog will be. Black German Shepherds are the most popular dog in Australia and the Australians don’t think twice before buying one of these dogs. The Black German Shepherd should be easy to find by checking the Internet for reputable breeders. They are plentiful and their litters run up to ten pups each.

In order to keep your Black German Shepherd healthy you must give him plenty of exercise each day. Do not confine him to a small yard, as this can be detrimental to the dog’s temperament. Large dogs need big areas in order to run and play. Proper grooming is also recommended to keep your dog healthy. The grooming depends on the length of the dog’s coat. Additional brushing is always recommended for Black German Shepherds during the molting season and cooler months. Bathing should be done monthly or if your dog likes to roll in the mud, then bathing should be done on an “as needed” basis.

The Black German Shepherd is a dog that can be trained to do almost anything. It has already been used as a disability aid dog. Almost all seeing eye dogs are Black German Shepherds. They work as correctional services dogs and customs dogs.

They work with the police and have become obedience dogs. Plus they make great companion dogs. These working dogs are also great family pets.

They can be trained to do almost anything. They are great with children as long as they are given their boundaries with small children. They are very protective of the children in their home and make great watchdogs.

They are the most popular dog in Australia and anyone can understand why. The Black German Shepherd’s steady and soft disposition and versatility to be used in any environment has made this dog breed man’s best friend.
