About the German Shepherd Lab Mix

The German Shepherd Lab Mix is a large dog breed. Adult dogs typically weigh 50 to 90 pounds and live 10 to 14 years. The breed is described as smart, loyal, eager-to-please, energetic.

Active household that can commit to 60 to 90 minutes of daily exercise plus training. A securely fenced yard and an owner who wants an involved, working-type dog suit the cross well. Sedentary homes, apartment-bound owners without a real exercise plan, or households without portion-control discipline, since the Labrador side brings a strong tendency to gain weight.

Adult German Shepherd Lab Mixs need about 75 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 90 minutes. The coat is double-coated with high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
