Breed Spotlight: German Shepherd

Loyal, friendly and remarkably trainable, the German Shepherd is a breed that needs little introduction. Developed in Europe to herd sheep and assist in pastoral tasks, the German Shepherd has built up quite an extensive resume.

Whether they are working with law enforcement or as therapy dogs, there is seemingly nothing the German Shepherd can't do. They’re also terrific family dogs and a great choice for first-time dog owners.

Like many large and capable dogs, German Shepherds can be stubborn and need lots of exercise and activity to stay happy and healthy. Thankfully, there is more than enough room to run and play in Montana.

Did You Know?

From heroism to athleticism, German Shepherds have many defining characteristics. One such characteristic is large, pointed ears that sit high up on their head. Did you know those ears start out floppy as a puppy? Their ears snap to attention as they grow up but not always at the same time.

Do I Need a Dog License in Montana?

The short answer is “Yes” and “No”. Like many of the dog laws in Montana, whether or not you need to license your dog is entirely up to the county or city in which you reside. Many counties in Montana have some sort of dog licensing law in place. That’s why it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to ensure your dog complies with all local ordinances.

Does Montana Require Dogs To Be Harnessed in the Car?

No. As of January 2020, Montana does not have a law requiring dogs to wear seat belts or be secured within the vehicle during transportation. Regardless of state law, it’s best to keep dogs restrained and out of the front seat.
Dogs who insist on climbing into the front seat should be placed in the back, in a crate. If your dog’s crate doesn’t fit in the car, you should invest in a barrier to keep them out of the front seat.
