History of the German Shepherd
The German Shepherd breed appeared in 1889 thanks to Mr. Max Frédéric who wanted an intelligent and strong dog for herding herds. He brought together the shepherds from central and southern Germany to finally bring out the German Shepherd that we know today.
This breed obviously got to know the whole world very quickly thanks to its intelligence and endurance. After his participation in the First World War, the German Shepherd became a useful dog in the army, police and rescue workers.

On the other hand, this breed was recognized by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) in 2003. The same for the German Shepherd long-haired also was not recognized by the FCI until 2011.
The character of the German Shepherd
Calm and responsive. He enjoys going out and doing sports for his mental and physical good. This breed supports heat, cold and rain thanks to the sebum layer. For this it is not recommended to wash it several times. A simple brushing once a week is sufficient.
Hip Dysplasia in German Shepherds
This disease is inherited and can start at the age of 10 weeks as it can start at the age of 6 years. If your German Shepherd is jumping or climbing stairs excessively and you notice the onset of Dysplasia, see a veterinarian urgently.
Hip dysplasia can be recovered with medication if not surgery. If the problem lasts 1 year for the German Shepherd in this case it will be too late to treat it.
Today the professional breeders of the German Shepherd avoid this problem of Dysplasia of the hip. For this we see the German Shepherd dogs working square line.
The German Shepherd puppy has 28 baby teeth that will appear between 2 to 5 weeks and there we prepare for the end of weaning. At 4 months the dog changes the baby teeth so that they are completely replaced at the age of 6 months. Avoid giving him bones and give him fruits or frozen objects because the cold reduces the pain.
