German Shepherd DogGerman Shepherd Dog: crate, bed and harness size

AKC weight: 50-90 pounds (AKC Breed Weight Chart). The German Shepherd Dog is #4 in AKC's 2025 ranking (AKC).

Crate: 48" crate (MidWest iCrate Dog Crate Size Guide (manufacturer PDF)) By weight alone the top of the AKC range fits a 42" crate, but MidWest's size guide lists the German Shepherd Dog under its 48" crate, so this page goes up to match.

Bed: Large rectangle bed (43 x 29 in) (Orvis Dog Product Sizing Guide (Rectangle bed))

Harness: Measure your dog's chest girth, then check the Ruffwear girth chart. No breed standard lists girth.
