Temperament

On the German Shepherd side, you have an independent dog with high intelligence and a playful spirit. German Shepherds make great family pets and are born protectors. Because of their protective instinct, they can be suspicious of strangers. Socialization early and often can help curb this suspicion and make them more open to new people and situations. Well-socialized German Shepherds also tend to be loving and have a lively personality. The German Shepherd Mix can have any or all of these characteristics plus any characteristics from the other parent breed in the mix. Before buying a German Shepherd Mix puppy and bringing them home, be sure to talk to the breeder about the other parent breed. You’ll want to know about that breed’s temperament and whether or not they tend to be good with children before making your decision. If the puppies are being family-raised around children, you should be able to get an idea of how they will do in a family setting that includes children.

Did You Know?

One of the facts about German Shepherds is that they need ongoing training. This isn’t necessarily because they forget what they have learned; it’s more that they are intelligent dogs that get bored easily and thrive on having a job to do. Learning new things is a great way to keep their mind and bodies engaged and active. This is also true for a lot of dogs and you can certainly expect it to be true for a German Shepherd Mix.
