Fascinating Dog Breeds That Resembles The German Shepherd Breed by RYEOFARMS(m): 12:34pm On May 17, 2021 |
Hi all, Ever since I came into the dog world 'the german shepherd' has been my main breed focus,I think my love for this breed owes to their wolf-like physique and structure (yea I like wolves ![]() (PLS NOTE: This is an educative thread,every contrary opinion and correction is allowed but pls do so politely,we are all learning) |

1. SHILOH SHEPHERDS The Shiloh Shepherd is an intelligent companion dog breed that responds well to training. Their gentle personality makes them excellent service dogs or therapy dogs. They're very similar in appearance to a German Shepherd Dogs, but the shiloh shepherd is larger than the German Shepherd.

2. American Alsatians The American Alsatian is a dog breed that was developed in California in the 1980s to resemble the now-extinct Dire Wolf. It's a large dog breed at about 25 to 32 inches tall, weighing around 100 pounds which I would say is quite bigger than an average Gsd 1 Like

3. KING SHEPHERDS The King Shepherd is a hybrid dog breed that looks a lot like the German Shepherd, you could hardly differentiate between the two. They were bred from altering the German Shepherd bloodline as they're a mix of many different breeds, but always have German Shepherd ancestry. The main colors of King Shepherds are fawn, red, black, brown, and sable. Their coats are usually a combination of two or more colors.The difference between German Shepherds and King Shepherds is that GSDs are purebred, whereas King Shepherds are a relatively new crossbreed. Both breeds appear almost identical, although the King is somewhat larger. King Shepherds were bred for a slightly different temperament and fewer health issues. They are more of a Livestock guardian than a companion 1 Like

DonFreshmoney: Without the parents pic, don't trust what the seller says, most of them just want to make fast cash,I was once a victim too....my junior brother wanted to get a Gsd (though we knew it wasn't 100% purebred due to the price an all) but we asked to see the parents pic to know exactly what we might end up with but the seller was reluctant and insisted that it was purebred,he refused to send pictures and wouldn't even let us come over to his place but then my bro was eager to get the pup he said he likes it and went ahead to get it from him (I wasn't around when he did) and infact my vet even told us twas purebred ![]() To cut the long story short,he ended up with a local mixed Gsd, you'll find it's pic in the link below https://www.nairaland.com/6178657/need-gsd-puppy-urgently but then this taught me an important lesson when I wanted to get my own Gsd pup,I started researching on the breed and made sure I saw the parents and was satisfied with what I saw before I paid for the puppy, you can see mine in the link below and note the difference in quality https://www.nairaland.com/6390405/meet-lady-mabel-ryeo-jin |

sonofspada:Well there's a story to the Alsatian name.... dating back to the world war 1 (I think),the americans were at war with the Germans so they didn't want to call their dogs "German Shepherds" therefore the name ALSATIAN was adopted for the Gsd but it's still the same german bred, totally different from the American Alsatians 1 Like |

6. The KUNMING WOLF-DOG Another Gsd look-alike is the KUMMING WOLF-DOG. The Kunming dog is an easy-going and approachable family companion that thrives on having a task to perform. It is reserved with strangers and can be protective when threatened. If it is well trained and has had early exposure to kids, a Kunming Wolfdog can coexist peacefully with children.The Kunming is taller, yet a bit smaller than the German Shepherd. Their height ranges from 25 – 27 inches (64 – 68 cm). With the weight being 66 – 84 pounds (30 – 38 kg).

6. AUSTRALIAN KELPIE The Australian Kelpie is an Australian sheep dog capable of mustering and droving with little or no guidance. It is a medium-sized dog and comes in a variety of colours. The Kelpie has been exported throughout the world and is used to muster livestock, primarily sheep, cattle and goats.... It shouldn't have made the list for Gsd look-alikes (atleast most people who are familiar with the breed will hardly confuse the two but there's a color variation that has had me confused for quite a while now and that's the liver colored type of both breeds) 1&2 pic (Kelpie) 3rd pic (Gsd (liver-colored)

8. THE BELGIAN SHEPHERD/MALINOIS Although the Belgian shepherd was also bred for the purpose of herding,they are completely different from the German Shepherd.It looks more like a mini/small sized Shepherd but once you're familiar with the breed you will be able to spot the difference at a glance.

10. The Belgian Tervuren The Belgian Tervuren is a majestic, black-masked herding dog with a rich fawn to mahogany coat and black overlay at the tips of the hair. Tervs are one of four distinct herding breeds developed in different regions of Belgium. Don't they resemble the German shepherd?!

11. BLUE BAY SHEPHERDS The American Blue Bay Shepherd is an extraordinary new wolfdog breed. It is a mix of the very rare old-world Blue German Shepherd dog and the equally rare blue wolfdog. It retains a distinctive wolfish appearance but thrives as an active companion animal. Another k9 breed looking similar to the GSD
