German Shepherds are one of America’s most popular dog breeds — and for good reason. These dogs have to be some of the Goodest Boys in the world, so it’s not surprising that these clever pups are often working dogs for the police and armed forces. Not only are they super smart, but German Shepherds are also loyal, loving, and totally adorable! So much so that we decided to dedicate this slideshow to 50+ adorable German Shepherd puppies who will certainly brighten up your day today.
1. We always thought he would grow into his ears.
Instead of growing into his ears, this little pup’s ears seemed to just grow into him! In a darker light, this pup’s ears could mistake him for a rabbit, but we recon the bark would be a total giveaway. The left pic shows the puppy at eight weeks, whilst the right is five months old. Between the ears and the paws, there’s definitely still plenty of growing to do!
2. Branch Manager & Assistant Branch Manager
As every dog knows, looking after a stick is a very important job, and these two are certainly giving it their all. We hope these guys are looking for work because we’re actually after a branch manager and an assistant ourselves! Oh, and they have to be this cute…
3. Growing room
This picture reminds of when our mom used to give us our sibling’s hand-me-downs with the promise that, “you’ll grow into it.” Though we have to admit, we never quite managed to look as happy as this pupper does about wearing clothes that are at least a couple of sizes too big! If we were the trainer, we’d be too busy petting him, and not working.
4. This Is Our German Shepherd Pup, Pepper, We Believe She Is Part Bear
Isn’t it amazing how different a German Shepherd puppy can look from another? At first glance, we don’t think we’d be able to guess that this little bear was indeed a German Shepherd, but she’s adorable nonetheless. What a Sweetheart!
5. My Puppy Gigi, Figured She Could Get Some Love Here
A puppy’s first time in the snow is always exciting, and we don’t think we’ve ever seen a photo as pure as this one. That adorable little face could melt an iceberg, and the snow on her nose is the sweetest thing! The colder the nose, the warmer the heart and the bigger the wag.
6. My Boss Got A Puppy And Brought Her Into The Office. Productivity Went Waaay Down
We’re always reading about offices that have their very own dogs, and we’re jealous that we’ve never got to be a part of that! With a face that cute, we’re not surprised that no work was able to be done. Productivity way down, but morale waaaay up.
7. Try not to smile
We officially think that German Shepherd puppies should have the nickname “Bunny Shepherds,” because with those huge ears, it’s impossible to look at this picture and not see a bunny! This little guy looks like the happiest pup in the world, and that smile is so infectious. We just want to cuddle him all day.
8. You have the right to remain adorable
This dog is so cute, we think this picture should definitely be used in recruitment ads! If we were criminals being arrested by this little cutie, we reckon we’d give up our crime pretty fast. “I have a cute puppy and I’m not afraid to use him!”
9. The Cutest *mlem* You’ll See All Day
Dogs really seem to follow the belief that something tastes better when you put your whole face in, and they looks so cute that we can’t even be mad. At least it’s always pretty obvious what they’ve been eating! “Ice cream? No, I haven’t seen your ice cream, I swear.”
10. Happy pupper
Have you ever seen an expression as adorable as this one? A dog that smiles like that is definitely a good boy and deserves all the pats. Who would not smile when they see that face?
11. German Shepherd? I Think We Adopted A Kangaroo
In all our years of writing animal stories, we have never seen a dog sit up on the couch like this, and we can’t stop laughing! This dog must have got inspiration from his owner, and with the slightly bored, slightly frustrated expression, we’d say that he’s even going as far as to copy the facial expressions! What a funny pup.
12. My New Puppy Admires The Heck Out Of Her Older Brother
Aren’t these some of the most beautiful dogs you’ve ever seen? We love the proud expression on the older brother’s face, and the little sister’s expression which seems to say, “one day I’ll be just like you!” Ah, sibling love.
13. Please See Instruction Manual Before Assembling German Shepherd Puppy
When we fist saw this picture, we were pretty confused as to what on earth is going on! There seems to be head, legs and tail in all directions! They say cats are made out of elastic, but we’re pretty sure that dogs are to.
14. Well, He Figured Out That He Can Splash Water Everywhere
In many ways, puppies are like children. They eat a lot, sleep a lot- oh, and they also love to make a mess. But with a face that cute, who can be mad?
15. This Fluffy Boy Came Into The Shelter I Work At
Who would give up a pup like this? Give us the name of the shelter, and we’ll be on our way! He was adopted in about two minutes, we’re sure.
16. Enjoying The Air Conditioner
We thought that dogs love sticking their heads out of the window for the whole experience of it, but after looking at this blissed-out pup enjoying the air conditioning, we’d say that it’s the breeze that really does it for them. This dog is truly living his best life.
17. Was At Work, Asked My Sister For A Snap Of My German Shepherd To Show My Friend
Who else loves these kind of pics more than the sensible, smiley ones? There’s nothing better can catching a snap of our pets when they’re in a silly mood, and we’d say that these pics capture the true essence of your pet in the way that a smiley picture wouldn’t. This photo tells you all you really need to know about this dog.
18. Puppy dog eyes
We’d like to think that we’re pretty authoritative pet parents, but when a puppy has a face this cute, we would do whatever this dog wanted us to. He might have a butter-won’t-melt expression- but if this dog could talk, he would actually be saying, “give me food now or I will attack your ankles.”
19. My Shepherd Puppy In The ‘Teepee’ Ear Stage
Is it just us who wasn’t aware of the ‘teepee’ ear stage that German Shepherd pups go through? But now that we know about it, we want to see all the pictures in the world! In the shadow, this dog looks as if he’s wearing a little party hat!
20. He Grew A Little
These two pics go to show that whatever size a dog is, they will always be your baby- and kudos to the man for still managing to pick up a fully-grown German Shepherd for the second pic! Dogs are never too big for hugs, and these pictures are proof of that. They look like they have a great bond!

21. Blep
Those shiny eyes, bunny ears and kissable nose have us falling more and more in love with this little guy the longer we look! Seriously, we’ve never wanted to cuddle something so bad through a picture before. We’d bet this little cutie could get away with murder.
22. My Puppy Is So Happy To See His Littermate When We Meet Up To Go To The Park. Twins
When we first saw this pic, we actually thought it might have been a mirror image- how similar do these dogs look?! It’s incredible how alike they are, and it’s hard to tell whose nose is whose! We’re so glad they are able to still meet up and play together.
23. My (At The Time) 2 Year-Old Son With Our 8 Week Old German Shepherd Dressed As Swat Members
The only thing cuter than a puppy in fancy dress, is a puppy and child in fancy dress. This is one of the coolest costumes we’ve ever seen, and these two look like they’re ready to take on the world! This picture definitely needs to be recreated in ten years time.
24. Cutie pie
And the award for the most photogenic dog goes to… this guy right here. Seriously, this pup needs to give us some photography tips! Someone get him a modelling contract, asap.
25. Trips to the store
Shopping is exhausting, and boy does this pup know it. And with the added effort of being cute 24/7, a power nap was much needed! We love that this sleepy little guy’s harness looks exactly like a tie, meaning he could rock up at any formal event at the last minute and still look the part.
26. My 8 Week German Shepherd Has One Lazy Ear
This little pup is a brilliant example of why our imperfections can make us all the more special. His super-cute one up, one down ear situation has melted our hearts, and we just want to give him all the cuddles in the world! The little tongue blep makes the picture all the more better.
“Grandpop gets my nose. So which one o’yous took my ear?”
27. Play time
If we were able to pick a predator to chase us through our house at night, this is what we’d pick. Sharp teeth? Check. Big claws? Check. Cute as heck? Check.
28. Totally Invisible Rabbit. Right?!
Let’s face it, it’s pretty hard to camouflage yourself when you have ears the size of satellite dishes, but we can’t knock this pup for trying. In fact, we suddenly seem to have forgotten what we were talking about. Pup? What pup? Can you see a pup?
29. Chasing bubbles
There’s nothing more amusing than blowing bubbles for your dog, especially when you have puppy who is potentially seeing them for the first time ever! There’s something so pure about this photo and it just warms our hearts. We’d like a puppy like this please!
30. German Shepherd Branch Manager
Here we have a couple more branch managers, reporting for duty. To make their job a little easier, they decided they’d stick together (sorry) and we all know that team work makes the dream work. If this picture doesn’t make you smile, then nothing will.
31. A German Shepherd Puppy Or A Cub?
We’re not sure what kind of baby this is, but one thing we do know is that cuddles shall be given. Have you ever seen something so tiny and fluffy before? Our hearts can’t take much more of this!
32. My Favorite Little German Shepherd
This is a Good Boy if we ever did see one, and this little guy looks like he could never do any wrong. With a face that cute, he can basically do as he pleases. No but seriously, can we adopt this dog?
33. Play Date At The Park
This is what the baby swings are meant for, right? What we love about German Shepherd puppies is that they’re some of the most docile, chilled out pups you’ll ever meet. Mom puts you in a baby swing? Sure, why not! “Push me higher, mom!”
34. Baby German Shepherd For The Win
These big, shiny button eyes is the reason why our dog basically gets away with murder. This little pup looks like a German Shepherd cross, but we couldn’t hedge a guess as to what he’s crossed with! Either way, he’s still blimmin’ adorable.
35. Belly Rubs, Pleaseee
Ah the universal, “give me belly rubs” pose. If this pup could speak, he would be saying, “This belly ain’t gonna rub itself mama!” We hope he got his wish granted after this pic was taken!
36. Adorable German Shepherd Puppy At The Vet
Ahh the good old days, when your puppy is young an innocent, and his limited experience with the vets means that he’s not yet developed a complete fear of the place. We reckon his owners should try and recreate this shot in a few years time- it would be interesting to see how calm his dog would be looking in the second pic!
37. He’s Getting Bigger
“He’s my first dog ever, not my wife’s but he’s amazing so far. He’s 4 months old in the picture,” the owner says. It’s pictures like this that really show just how big German Shepherds actually grow. This guy is only 4 months old, and he’s already huge!
38. Moments Before Attacking My Phone
Not content with his own 50 different toys, this pup just had to check out the shiny, expensive looking toy that his owner held up for him to see. But with that cute little innocent face, we’re not sure that this little guy could attack anything, right? His owner must have got the story wrong.
39. My New Unhelpful Helper
We’re not too sure about unhelpful- smiles and love are always very helpful! Here we have another case of the one-ear-floppiness, and this little cutie is rocking the look. We’ve never wanted to babysit someone else’s pet so bad.
40. Tongues out
Have you ever seen such a bright pink tongue on a pup before? This German Shepherd pup seems to have just discovered his tongue, and he’s realizing just how fun it is to stick it out all the time!
41. Construction worker: dog edition
The dog says she wasn’t digging, but her nose tells a different story. That’s what beach days are for, right?
42. A big baby
This is the only baby we want in our eyes! This little cutie looks like shes just been caught doing something she shouldn’t, and is feeling pretty sorry for herself. Someone give her a cuddle!
43. What the fluff
Mismatched ears? Check. Paws too big for the body? Check. Big black button eyes? Check. This could only be a German Shepherd puppy!
44. A new jacket
We wonder where this dapper boy is headed? With that little bow tie, he looks like he’s off to a pretty important party! We sincerely hope that his owner is matching with this cute look.
45. Puppy vs fully grown dog
If you were looking for an example of just how big German Shepherd pups are, then here it is. The Pomeranian on the left looks just a little scared- and rightly so! The look on her face is like she’s just been told that her brother is going to grow at least double the size that he is now. Shocking!
46. Play time
Most dogs like tennis balls, but this little guy prefers his baseball. They’re much better for chewing on! Baseballs are perhaps a little more pricey, but if we had a dog this cute, then money would be no object.
47. “Am I doing it right, mom?”
Puppies are constantly learning about the ways of the world, and we can’t blame this little cutie for thinking that his drinks bowl is actually a refreshing foot bath. It’s the perfect way to cool yourself down on a hot day, so we think this dog is actually pretty smart!
48. Big smiles
We’re number 48 into our slideshow, and this is the first white German Shepherd pup that we’ve come across. Doesn’t he look majestic! Petition for all owners of white German Shepherds to come forward and share their pics.
49. Separation anxiety
Despite still only being a small puppy, this dog has already mastered the art of guilt-tripping his owners. “What do you mean you’re going on a vacation? Not if I have anything to say about it!”
50. Little helper
Even though the passenger seat is clearly the obvious (and more comfortable) option, this dog is thinking outside of the box. If he sits on the floor, not only can he can chew on people’s feet, but he’s also much closer to a dog’s favorite thing- the air con. Smart thinking!
