About Shepherd Dogs

Shepherd dogs are a broad group of herding and guardian breeds originally developed to tend and protect livestock. They share common traits including intelligence, loyalty, and a strong work ethic. Shepherd mixes are among the most commonly found and rewarding dogs in shelters.

Adopting a Shepherd brings a smart, devoted companion who thrives on having a purpose. They are typically good with children, protective of their family, and responsive to training. Their versatility and loyal nature make them excellent all-around family dogs.

LA winters are mild with occasional rain, making it comfortable for outdoor pet activities nearly every day. Cooler mornings are great for longer walks in Griffith Park or Runyon Canyon. Rain can make trails muddy and slippery, so stick to paved paths after storms.

Spring

52°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring brings beautiful weather and blooming wildflowers along coastal trails. This is an ideal time for beach outings at dog-friendly spots in Malibu and Long Beach. Grass pollen and seasonal allergies can affect pets, so watch for itchy skin or watery eyes.

Summer

Coastal areas stay comfortable, but inland valleys can exceed 100°F. Keep walks to early morning or evening and always test pavement temperature. Wildfire smoke can degrade air quality, so monitor AQI and keep pets indoors on poor air days.
