The strength of the German Shepherd
Initially bred as a herding dog, the German Shepherd quickly gained popularity as a working dog due to its strength, intelligence, and versatility.
Over the years, they’ve been employed in various roles – from search and rescue to guarding to police work.
Most of you might find it hard to gauge the strength of a German Shepherd just by looking at them.
We've set up a little demonstration.
So, how strong is a German Shepherd?
Beyond measure, not just in physical strength, but also in heart and spirit.
We will test the strength of the German Shepherd and give you an idea of their capabilities.
Let’s see if our German Shepherd duo can lift this heavy tire with their mouth and carry it to their owner.
Loyalty and protection
The German Shepherd is a symbol of loyalty and protection and a showcase of raw strength and endurance.
This exercise was more than just lifting and carrying; it required confidence, balance, and sheer determination.
Strong bite force
German Shepherds have an average bite force of around 238 PSI
A dog’s bite won’t only rip through flesh, but it could also break bones
Warning
If you do not have experience training your dog, hire a professional trainer.
You can risk the dog injuring both their neck and jaw if they have to lift and run with a heavy tire.
