Hi Mark,

 My previous dog was a German Shepherd named Leo. Leo and I were matched up
together on August 3, 2005 at Leader Dogs for the blind. And Leoand I
graduated and came home on August 24, 2005 and Leo and I worked together for
exactly 5 years and one day when I retired him on August 25, 2010 at the age
of six due to having hip dysplaisa and arthrightis in his hips. I think it
depends on the dog and the dogs helth on how long a Shepherd can work for.
But I've heard of Shepherd working to their 10 years old. Again it all
depends on the dog and the dogs helth. Take care.
