A cross between the German Shepherd and the Shar-Pei, your German Sherpei may not be an officially recognized breed. However, they'll still be a wonderful addition to your home. Your German Sherpei may exhibit characteristics of both breeds, which means you'll have a highly loyal, very intelligent canine companion. Care should be taken to ensure your German Sherpei is well-trained from an early age. Their size when fully grown may range anywhere from 40 pounds to well over 65 pounds, so they'll need plenty of space to run and play and shouldn't be kept in small living spaces.
Like the German Shepherd, your new friend will need regular exercise, with at least one to two good long walks every day to ensure their energy levels are kept in check. Because of their loyal and protective nature, it's also important to socialize them with other dogs and members of the family.
