29 Of The Cutest German Shepherd Mixes On The Internet
Pure bred German shepherds are elite in the dog world. They are known for their beauty, intelligence, and athleticism. Hard working and easily trainable, they can easily fill many roles. They’re also extremely loyal and make excellent
four-legged companions-they truly become best friends with their owners.
When mixed with other breeds, some of their best traits and strengths are often passed along. These mixes also make awesome dogs and shouldn’t be overlooked when looking to adopt or rescue a German shepherd.
In fact, some mixes may even make better family pets than a pure-bred dog, depending on the breed they’re mixed with and the family they live with. For example, a mixed shepherd might require a little less exercise than a highly driven
working German shepherd or will be a little more mellow yet playful pet while retaining some of the awesome traits of the German shepherd dog.
In appreciation of these amazing mixes, we’ve scoured the internet and picked some of our favorites below:
1. Aussie, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Husky
