Fun Facts About German Shepherds!
They Are Canine Heroes
These dogs are famous for being incredibly smart and brave! That’s why they are often trained as police dogs, search and rescue partners, and guide dogs for people who need help.
The Famous “Saddle” Coat
The most well-known German Shepherd look is black and tan. The black marking that covers their back is often called a “saddle” because it looks just like one!
The Original Herding Dog
As their name suggests, German Shepherds were originally bred in Germany to herd and protect flocks of sheep. They are natural guardians!
Coloring Tips for Your German Shepherd Masterpiece
- Create the Classic Coat: To get that iconic German Shepherd look, start by lightly coloring the whole body with tan or light brown. Then, use a black or dark brown crayon to draw the “saddle” marking over the back and the darker mask on the face.
- Tell Their Story: What adventure is this dog on? The background sets the scene! Is it running through a bright green park, on a rescue mission in snowy mountains, or resting by a cozy fireplace? The setting brings the character to life.
- Capture Their Kind Eyes: A German Shepherd’s eyes are full of intelligence. When coloring them, use a dark brown or black, but remember to leave a tiny speck of white. This little dot acts as a “light reflection” and instantly makes the drawing look bright and alive!
