Do German Shepherds shed a lot of fur?
Through out most of the year German Shepherds shed very little only a little bit loose hair but once or twice a year (depending on the climate and living conditions) your dog will “blow coat” and will shed out quite a bit of hair. With several good brushings during that time of year it is a very manageable situation and it’s just part of living with a shepherd. Otherwise German Shepherds require very little grooming, in order to avoid removing important oils from the skin we recommend bathing only once or twice per year. Keep toe nails short with regular trimmings and provide proper chew items to keep teeth and gums healthy & clean.
