Do you think a German Shepherd could jump 6ft over a fence?

[WowwGirl]

Or threw a screen door?

[Anpu23]

Our Cora probably could if she had to.

[WowwGirl]

Finley did I bet she could

[WowwGirl]

So cute also

[Anpu23]

I'll tell her you said so.

She really is an attention hound.

[WowwGirl]

Finley needs a girlfriend

[Anpu23]

She's fixed... Sorry. We also have two other big dogs.

[WowwGirl]

No worries

[Anpu23]

Thanks for MHO.

[Jamie05rhs]

Absolutely!

[WowwGirl]

Finley is a stud lol

[Jamie05rhs]

He definitely is. :)

[humpbackjack]

Yes I had one that used to get out all the time and one day I caught him opening the latch so I locked but he kept getting out so I watched and the damn dog jumped the 6 foot fence I had to put up an electric wire and that solved it he tried one time got his as lit up and he never even went near that section of fence yeah yeah sounds cruel but if he got he got hit on the main road or eaten by coyotes it would of sucked and actually I found him when he was probably close to a year old maybe 8 months so I don’t know if he was full blooded but he definitely looked like he was I put out flyers and I would figure if he was full the owner would of hit me up but nothing also he didn’t start jumping the fence until I had him for 6 months or more but he dug his way out a few times then started the latch then jumping he was pretty determined and other than escaping he was a good dog and usually would be at the front door out of breath when I would be going to look for him

[horatiohornblower]

Not jump right over. But they can get up high enough to pull themselves over. I've had more than one neighbor who's dog would do that. Always some breed of shepherd. They're smart, lean and strong dogs.

A screen is no problem. All that stops them is a psychological barriers. But a moderately sized dog will destroy a screen in no time.

[BCA6010]

Not sure if they'd jump and clear it, but I know a friend of mine has a shepherd who regularly escapes his backyard to go beg neighbors for their barbequed meats, and climbing the 6-7ft tall fence around the property is the only way he could feasibly do that on his own since there's no signs of digging.

[Agape93]

6 foot fence, maybe. I know Belgian malnois can

A screen door, oh absolutely.

[WowwGirl]

It sucked dude

[Agape93]

I bet so. My dogs broke my fence before

[WowwGirl]

I didn't see this coming

[Agape93]

It's not too surprising. You just need a bigger one or a blocker.

[WowwGirl]

F+++ing cast iron

[WowwGirl]

Least I know he will be first 😀

[Agape93]

Lol.

[horsenrhinounicorn]

I had a German Shepherd, I wondered how my dog kept getting outside the gate until one day I watched it get super excited to hear another dog it was jumping up and down and went over the high fence like it was nothin.

[DJB72]

I had a Swiss Shepherd who could clear a 6' fence easily as a young dog. Brilliant watchdog and because she was white a lot of people thought she was a wolf!

[WowwGirl]

Mines black and not even a year. She sounds pretty

[DJB72]

She was beautiful. Lost her age 12 a few years ago now

[WowwGirl]

I had him in classes and might have screwed myself

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

German Shepherd's are big and their hind legs might allow them to jump over the 6 ft fence

[magiusX26]

yes. seen it done. to be fair most dont but some do. many breeds, especially the bigger breeds have individuals who do both. you would be amazed at how high some of the smaller breeds can jump too.

[WowwGirl]

I was surprised by mine today

[magiusX26]

this is why most big dog's cages are roofed. another thing to watch out for is climbing fences etc like they are stairs or even a ladder. though not many bother learning to do this, some do.

[magiusX26]

glad your dog is ok after fighting (other breed mostly does not matter sering as it was fighting period). is your dog aggresive?

[WowwGirl]

Wasn't but he's only 8/9 months now

[purplepoppy]

It's at the top of it's jumping range and would need a run up. Usually they wouldn't try but once they learnt they could theyd always do it

[Rachel794]

Yes, large dogs like that are very powerful when it comes to their jumping.

[WowwGirl]

I'm learning this

[HighValue]

I don't know, but I do know that a Rottweiler/Black Lab mixed dog can jump over a 5 foot fence. (My childhood dog).

[MannMitAntworten]

Mine could on both counts and did. She could jump and scale an 8 foot brick wall. Damnedest thing I ever saw. She had some amazing speed. Gotta love working lines.

[Redstang88]

Seen dogs way smaller than a shepherd go through screen doors, and I’m not surprised they’d go over a 6ft fence

[WowwGirl]

I was man

[FunkyMonkee]

It depends on the fence and how you train the dog. I've seen a guy run about 5' up the side of a tree!

[Middle-aged_maniac]

I'm not sure about the fence, but likely it could tear through the screen. They are great dogs. I've always admired them.

[WowwGirl]

They are intense

[boxxie2002]

Could get over it. Don't think it will clear it in one bound though

[lonestar_01]

Seen a Rottweiler do it before, so yeah don't doubt the abilities of bigger dogs I guess

[Grond21]

If you want to see what they're capable of, look up the ones that were trained for war. The actions highlighted here are nothing in comparison

[OddBeMe]

Be tough. I doubt they could clear it from just the ground. Our dogs jumped pretty far using the high trampoline. Or they jumped to the top of the fence and then jumped over

[exitseven]

Maybe he could jump over a 6 foot fence but definitely go through a screen door.

[genericname85]

yeah. if you look what animals can do, humans look like natures sad joke xD

[whosnumber1]

my German Pointer could. my would literally pull himself up to the top and jump off. he was an Olympic athlete

[Iron_Man]

Probably In some rare cases. The doberman pincher can they are known jumpers

[TallAnon]

Hell yes they can, I've had three 😂

[WowwGirl]

I didn't know that

[WowwGirl]

Till mine did this morning

[TallAnon]

German shepperds are awesome, they're police dogs for a reason

[WowwGirl]

That literally clicked in my head this morning

[WowwGirl]

Makes sense now

[bulletbob555]

Yes or even climb it and going through a screen door no problem

[Mehzmeh]

Yes!!! I have seen it happen many times. Lol

[WowwGirl]

I gotta tell you the whole story

[WowwGirl]

You need to explain to me aggressive behavior in large dogs please

[TaleTeller]

Don't know about a Shepard but my Vizslas did on a regular basis.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Yes!!!

[koolbrz]

It can if it could land its foot on it.. on wall. But it can't with a single jump from land.

[WowwGirl]

@gwenhwyfar smart

[ohshee]

Yesssssssss they are bad ass dogs

[WowwGirl]

Mine impressed me

[ohshee]

It's the very smart and they are like a one owner dog too until they learn how to play fetch

[Exterminatore]

Yes to both.

[WowwGirl]

Dang I didn't

[AviatorTom]

Yep, Shepherds are strong and smart.

[worldscolide]

Trained right? Absolutely.

[WowwGirl]

Yes fins formally trained

[WowwGirl]

Dude I didn't know At All...

[worldscolide]

The only pet type animal that I know of that can jump higher than any dog, is cats.. Not kidding, mine can easily clear 10 feet when she tries.

[WowwGirl]

I love cats. Racoons can jump pretty good too

[worldscolide]

Man, my neighbor somehow managed to domesticated a raccoon..

[WowwGirl]

My mom has 3. It's just feeding them.

[worldscolide]

Nice!

[msc545]

Possible but 6 ft is pretty high

[WowwGirl]

I learned trained ones can jump up to 8.5 feet

[Razor8]

They can but highly unlikely.

[WowwGirl]

No , no, not really
I just found out

[Razor8]

Yours jumped a 6ft fence?

[WowwGirl]

To fight a pitbull

[WowwGirl]

I'm getting why they are police dogs now

[Razor8]

That makes sense. To fight another dog, they would jump the fence. Lol

Your dog okay?

[WowwGirl]

Yes thankfully. Thanks for asking
I didn't think he could jump that high at all. I was wrong

[Jamie05rhs]

I'm glad Finley is okay!!

[WowwGirl]
