Description

The German Shepherd has a semi-long, well laid-back coat. Their colors can vary greatly from black with brown, golden, yellowish and grayish markings. A trademark of this breed consists of the black coat that covers the animal’s back, as if it were a cape, so they are also known as Black Cape German Shepherd in Brazil. They shed a lot and throughout the year, so daily brushing is essential to remove dead hair. A vacuum cleaner around the house will also be very welcome. When it comes to shedding, German Shepherds do shed a lot especially during autumn season and “blows’ their hair at least once. There is no magic solution to solve this problem apart from regular brushing. Also, if you bathe these dogs too much, it can strip of the natural oil off from their skin. So owners need not bath their German Shepherd unless it is really required.
