About German Shepherds

The Royal Kennel Club describes the German Shepherd Dog as a "versatile worker and service dog noted for bravery and intelligence". It says the breed was first developed as a herding dog, then used as a working dog by the police and the armed forces, and has also worked as a guide dog, a tracking dog and in obedience.

Are there German Shepherd puppies for sale in London?

No. Rescues rehome German Shepherds for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In and around London today, German Shepherds are listed by German Shepherd Rescue South (in London), All Dogs Matter (at Waltham Abbey, about 14 miles away) and Rescue Remedies (at Smallfield, about 23 miles away), and 2 other rescues. German Shepherd Rescue South asks £175 to £400 by the dog's age and All Dogs Matter £150 to £220 for a dog. For Rescue Remedies, see the rescue's own page for its fee.

Can I get a free German Shepherd to a good home in London, or one under £500?

Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing German Shepherds in and around London today, the published fees run from £150 at All Dogs Matter to £400 at German Shepherd Rescue South. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 3, see the rescue's own page.
