About the Shepherd Mix
The Shepherd Mix is a large dog breed originating in Varies. Adult dogs typically weigh 40 to 80 pounds and live 10 to 14 years. The breed is described as varies-by-parentage, loyal, intelligent, work-driven.
Active households with time for daily exercise and training. Most shepherd mixes inherit the working drive of their herding ancestry. Sedentary homes. Because parentage varies, ask the rescue about the individual dog's observed energy and temperament.
Adult Shepherd 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.
