A very popular breed, German Shepherds have left a positive mark on humanity. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

They’re well sought after by many enthusiasts and have gotten screen time on shows and movies like Terminator<\/em>, Max,<\/em> and Inspector Rex.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This courageous breed started as a herder but has since expanded its role.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It has served as a police dog, guide for the blind, military canine, and search and rescue missions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In households, the German Shepherd is also a companion and good with kids.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The importance and fame of this breed make it a frequent option as the parent of designer breeds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These offsprings mix the qualities of the German Shepherd with that of another purebred.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For any German Shepherd lover out there, we’ve compiled a list of top-30 German Shepherd mixes for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let’s take a look, shall we?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Most Popular German Shepherd Mixes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
1. Shepsky: German Shepherd Husky Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
First on our list is the Shepsky, a cross between the German Shepherd and the Artic bred Siberian Husky.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is a famous dog mix, unarguably one of the most popular.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Usually, it takes the energy and playfulness of the Siberian Husky with the obedience of the German Shepherd.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Husky mix is best raised in a cold climate because of its coat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is also not suitable for an apartment and can be a poor choice for a novice owner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Sheppit: German Shepherd Pitbull Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"Close$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
While the term ‘Pit Bull’ refers to a group of different dog breeds, here we’re working with the American Pit Bull Terrier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd and American Pit Bull Terrier were crossed to develop the Sheppit, a courageous dog with excessive strength.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The parents of the German Shepherd Pitbull mix have both been seen as dangerous, but this only occurs with poor training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is why you need the experience to have this mix.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
3. Golden Shepherd: German Shepherd Golden Retriever Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Golden Shepherd is a lucky mix to have the German Shepherd and Golden Retriever as parents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Both parents have family-friendly qualities which the offspring inherited.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Thus, it has the friendliness of the Golden Retriever and the loyalty of the German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This breed tends to take on the coat of the Golden Retriever but resembles the Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Golden Retriever mix also combines the intelligence of both parents, making them quick learners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Golden Retriever is a good first-time dog, so the designer breed may be too. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
That said, it needs firm training<\/a> and a lot of exercise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
4. Labrashepherd: German Shepherd Lab Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Another interesting cross, the Labrashepherd has as parents the popular<\/a> Labrador Retriever and the German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You could call the German Shepherd Lab mix a celebrity offspring.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With the German Shepherd’s alertness and the Lab’s outgoing nature, the offspring can be observant without being aloof towards strangers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is a patient dog breed too, as well as being affectionate.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Labrador’s easy-going nature makes the designer breed good for first-time dog owners, but you may face some stubbornness. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
5. Shepweiler: German Shepherd Rottweiler Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"Close$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Shepweiler is designed from two excellent guard dogs, the Rottweiler, and the German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This makes it a must-have for those who need a guardian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Like the parent breeds, the German Shepherd Rottweiler mix is powerful, intelligent, and observant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It may be independent and stubborn though.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Socialization<\/a> is needed too as this breed may be wary of strangers. It is only suitable for experienced owners.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Corman Shepherd: German Shepherd Corgi Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"Close$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Corman Shepherd has parents with similar characteristics but widely different appearances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Welsh Corgi is a smaller dog compared to the German Shepherd. Thus, the size of these dogs may vary.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Corgi mixed breed has the herder loyalty of both parents and the courage too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It needs regular exercise as it has a high energy level. It is sometimes stubborn, so it needs one who can be firm yet gentle with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
7. Shepadoodle: German Shepherd Poodle Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@indytheshepadoodle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What happens when two genius breeds join to produce offspring?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The latter will have an excess of it (if that’s possible)<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Perhaps that was the intention of the breeders. If so, then it was a good one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Poodle mix is loyal, affectionate, and has the Poodle’s elegance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Shepadoodle is equally eager to please breed and easily trainable, once you can overcome its stubbornness.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
8. Shollie: Border Collie German Shepherd Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n $\"Border$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is a rare breed as it isn’t common to combine the German Shepherd and the Border Collie.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The parents are both popular, though, so there may be a rise in popularity as time goes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Coming from a line of herder dogs, Shollie can play this role too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Border Collie mix has the intelligence and hardworking qualities of the parents, so herding comes easily.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is as protective as the German Shepherd, yet affectionate like the Border Collie.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
9.\u00a0 German Aussie: German Shepherd Australian Shepherd Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"Close$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This German Shepherd Australian Shepherd mixed breed is a cross between two competent shepherds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The result is a breed with high intelligence and good athletic qualities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is smart and can learn with ease and possesses the strength of both herder parents<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is also eager to please, which makes training an easy task with this breed.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
10. German Chihuahua: German Shepherd Chihuahua Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@meng1010<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Chihuahua is a cross of a German Shepherd and the small Chihuahua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Due to the vast difference in size, this designer breed will not look the same or have the same size.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
That said, the hybrid is usually bigger than the Chihuahua and smaller than the German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Chihuahua mix is an awesome family companion, but may not be the best option for a family with small children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It may sometimes be wary of strangers, but that can be overcome with socialization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It isn’t the best option for a new pet parent as you need the experience to train this breed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
11. Doberman Shepherd: German Shepherd Doberman Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Doberman Shepherd has as parents the Doberman Pinscher and German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Both parents are from Germany and both are powerful dogs. The offspring tends to be big, weighing up to 100 pounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It has the loyalty and faithfulness that’s expected of a German Shepherd mix, but it may show dominant tendencies if you don’t establish authority right away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Doberman mix is also stubborn sometimes, but it is trainable. That is, as long as you know what you’re doing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
12. Boxer Shepherd: German Shepherd Boxer Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@adventures_of_verna<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Boxer mix is a hybrid that is pleasing to the eyes, as it is expected because of the parents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is a cross between the Boxer and the German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The designer Boxer Shepherd breed is a bundle of energy. To own one, you should be both active and an experienced pet parent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This breed needs a firm leader and a lot of physical exercises, which you should provide.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
13. Malinois X: Belgian Malinois German Shepherd Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"Close$ <\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Malinois X is a favorite of the police force and the military (which can explain its name).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is mixed from two similar dogs, the Belgian Malinois, and the German Shepherd.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Belgian Malinois is often seen as a smaller German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Belgian Malinois mix produces a hybrid with energy to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This isn’t an average companion and may not be suitable for every family. Owners of these dogs have to put in work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
14. Wolf-shepherds: German Shepherd Wolf Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@milkandbiscuit_houston<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This may come as a surprise because wolves are German Shepherds’ enemies, but they can be mated to produce a wolfdog with a unique, wild appearance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This hybrid can be domesticated, but it isn’t child’s play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Saarloos Wolfhound is the most popular type of German Shepherd Wolf Mix. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Do note that these dogs are banned in some areas, so find out if you can own one before you go for it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
15. Dane Shepherd: German Shepherd Great Dane Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"Great$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Dane Shepherd combines the giant Great Dane’s genes with that of the German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Both breeds share German roots, giving the cross a common heritage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Because of the Great Dane, German Shepherd Great Dane mixed dogs are usually large.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The temperaments of both parents make this hybrid a good watchdog and excellent guard dog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Its size alone is scary enough to make an intruder reconsider. It needs an owner who knows how to handle a big dog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
16. Germanees: German Shepherd Great Pyrenees Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Just like the Dane Shepherd, Germanees is a cross between a German Shepherd and a bigger dog, the Great Pyrenees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The result of the German Shepherd Great Pyrenees mix is a big, fluffy, and adorable pooch.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This hybrid loves to work and will do well with jobs to do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As a companion, give it enough physical and mental exercise to keep it challenged. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is a kind-hearted breed and a protector of children, making it a good family pet breed.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
17. Heeler Shepherd: German Shepherd Blue Heeler Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@k9tankpark<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Blue Heeler refers to a specific color of the Australian Cattle Dog. One can call it the blue version of the Cattle Dog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Together with the German Shepherd, the Heeler Shepherd was developed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The parent dogs of this hybrid are on the top 10 list of smartest dogs in the world. Hence, it will be too. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Blue Heeler mix is also energetic, active, full of life, and a hard worker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It needs work or tons of exercise to be comfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
18. Beagle Shepherd: German Shepherd Beagle Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd and Beagle mix is a combination that gives you a sweet-natured and loyal designer breed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As a household pet, the Beagle Shepherd is devoted and hardly ever leaves the owner’s side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Its protectiveness makes it a good guard dog, but do not let it get unnecessarily aggressive. It also requires exercise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
19. Shepkita: German Shepherd Akita Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@luna.theshepkita<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Akita mix is a designer breed that has the pride of Germany and Japan running in its veins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The traits of the wild-looking Akita also makes this cross interesting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Loyalty is common in every dog of the Shepkita breed, but their independence may make them do things their way sometimes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You have to be the leader of the pack or they will take over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
20. Chow Shepherd: German Shepherd Chow Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@echothegecko72<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Chow Shepherd is another Asian-European mix. This time, the countries of China and Germany are involved. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This breed was developed from the Chow Chow from China and the German Shepherd.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Expect loyalty, playfulness, and coziness from the German Shepherd Chow mix hybrid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Its fluffy coat makes you want to snuggle until it’s grooming time. Grooming is not easy here.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The independent nature may make training a bit of a challenge too. However, with some firmness and gentleness, this breed is trainable. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
21. Euro Mountain Sheparnese: German Shepherd Bernese Mountain Dog Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@rocky.theberneseshepherd<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Euro Mountain Sheparnese is a mix gotten from the German Shepherd and the Bernese Mountain Dog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The term ‘Euro’ is thanks to the origin of the Bernese Mountain Dog. The latter is from the Swiss Alps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The hybrid is like the German Shepherd but takes on the fluff of the Bernese Mountain Dog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The color varies and is often a combination. It is quite rare, but one can look out for friendliness and affection from this breed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
22. Dachshund Shepherd: German Shepherd Dachshund Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@kabirthekabob<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Dachshund mix combines two very different breeds to form an interesting whole.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd and the Dachshund are different both in appearance and temperament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This difference complements each other in the hybrid, but also makes it difficult to know exactly how each member would look and behave.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Dachshund Shepherd designer breed can either look like one of the parents or mix up the appearance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The same goes for size, energy level, and temperament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
23. Alaskan Shepherd: German Shepherd Malamute Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Alaskan Shepherd is the result of a cross between the German Shepherd and the Alaskan Malamute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Both are canine workaholics and need an active family to thrive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Their energy and work ethics aside, the German Shepherd Malamute mixed breed is a good pet and even makes a wonderful playmate for children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It shows a lot of good manners, especially when well trained.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
24. Saint Shepherd: German Shepherd Saint Bernard Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$
@mikekphotoadventure<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Saint Shepherd crosses the easygoing Saint Bernard with the worker German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The fire and water personalities of the parents come together to make a designer breed with a good guard dog and companion qualities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Many people love the German Shepherd Saint Bernard mix, and it isn’t hard to see why.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Both a worker and a fun buddy, Saint Shepherd is the kind of pet people dream to have.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
25. Mastiff Shepherd: German Shepherd Mastiff Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$ <\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A gentle giant to the core, the Mastiff Shepherd weighs up to 200 pounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is the offspring of the large English Mastiff and a slightly smaller German Shepherd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Irrespective of the size, the hybrid isn’t an aggressive one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
On the contrary, German Shepherd Mastiff mix is laid-back and sometimes gets lazy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It may be daunting to train a giant dog, but the rewards are worth it.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
26. German Pomeranian: German Shepherd Pomeranian Mix<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
$\"German$

The German Pomeranian is one of the rarest mixed breeds on this list. It was developed from the German Shepherd and the Pomeranian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The mating is always done by a male Pom and a female Shepherd. It can’t be the other way round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There isn’t much recorded on the traits, but by examining the parents you can have an idea of what to expect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The parents have different temperaments, so expect a wide range of behaviors from the German Shepherd Pomeranian mix.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Shug isn’t a mix many people will expect from a German Shepherd, but it exists anyways.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It has as parents the hardworking Shepherd and playful Pug.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Like some others on this list, this hybrid will have unpredictable appearances and temperament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
That said, expect the German Shepherd Pug mix to be loyal, affectionate, good with kids, and intelligent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The German Corso is yet another rare designer breed that has as parents the German Shepherd and the Cane Corso.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As it is rare, not much is known about it. You can learn about its temperament by studying those of its parents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Cane Corso mix is usually a large dog and has the common traits of its parents like loyalty and affection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

@alisha_weber<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Shiba Inu mix is a new designer breed with no official name, but people call it the Shepherd Inu.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
These dogs are intelligent, loyal, and have a beautiful appearance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
They aren’t for the inexperienced, though. In the wrong hands, they will become problems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The last on our list has the German Shepherd and the all-time famous Dalmatian as parents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The German Shepherd Dalmatian mix is a big dog that weighs up to 95 pounds.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This designer breed will not all look the same due to the different appearance of its parents. Expect different traits, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
