The German Shepherd Pit Bull is a mongrel dog, a cross between the German Shepherd and American Pit Bull Terrier breeds.

Despite their unfortunate status as a designer breed, you can find these puppies in breed-specific shelters and rescues, so remember to adopt. These puppies are naturally friendly when properly socialised, and are loyal to a fault. Both breeds are hard working dogs. Because of their superior intelligence and athletic build, they are often assigned guard and police duty. German Shepherd Pit Bulls need large homes with yards to run in. If given rigorous tasks, they will have a happy dog. When poorly stimulated, these puppies can become destructive and develop behavioural problems.AniMall24 recommends a dog bed to give your medium sized German Shepherd Pit Bull a good night’s sleep.
