German Shepherd
This is said to be one of the most popular dogs in the world, and at a glance people might actually confuse the less popular Belgian Malinois for the German Shepherd.
The two are somewhat similar in appearance, albeit to the untrained eye.
In reality, though, this particular breed originates from Germany and was initially used for herding and guarding. (In Ireland and Britain it is known as the Alsatian.)
Its average weight is between 75-95 pounds and it can grow up to 26 inches tall.
They belong to the Belgian sheepdog family and can grow to a height of 26 inches tall with a maximum weight of 65 pounds.
