More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club. It also lists the breed as suited to a large house with a large garden. Dogs Trust calls German Shepherds typically high-energy dogs that need lots of exercise. A rescue dog's needs can differ with age and health, so ask the rescue about this dog.
Yes, a lot. The Royal Kennel Club lists the German Shepherd as a breed that sheds, with a short or long coat that needs grooming more than once a week. Dogs Trust says their thick coats shed a lot, and you will typically need to brush them a few times a week.
It depends on the dog, not the breed. None of the 2 German Shepherds listed in and around Buckinghamshire is marked by its rescue as able to live with children today. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every German Shepherd on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 2 German Shepherds listed in and around Buckinghamshire today are with Stokenchurch Dog Rescue at Stokenchurch, about 11 miles away (1) and National Animal Welfare Trust Bedfordshire at Aspley Guise, about 16 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

If you searched "german shepherd puppies for sale Buckinghamshire", the German Shepherds here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 2 German Shepherds listed in and around Buckinghamshire today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Stokenchurch Dog Rescue at Stokenchurch, about 11 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
