Gifts for German Shepherd Owners

Dog lovers appreciate thoughtful gifts that remind them of their pet. When considering what to get the German Shepherd lover in your life, get a practical gift for the dog or an elegant gift for your friends. German Shepherd lovers who have recently lost a pet will appreciate a commemorative gift that can help remind them of the animal they lost.
  1. Pet Portrait

    • Commission a pet portrait from an artist for a gift that captures your friend's German Shepherds in action. Etsy.com is an artisan site that has many painters, illustrators and photographers specializing in pet portraiture. If you find an artist's work that you like, ask if she does commissioned work. If so, find a nice photograph of your friend's dogs and discuss payment, price and work delivery date. You can also place a classified ad in your local newspaper or approach art students at an art school near you to find artists.

    German Shepherd Throw

    • Cotton throws embroidered with a German Shepherd's image are a nice, practical gift for animal lovers. The blankets are washable, attractive and brightly colored. There are styles available with German Shepherds already on them, or you can select a photo of your own to have printed on a throw blanket, which makes a nice personal touch.

    Leather Leash

    • Elegant leather dog collars, leashes and harnesses make a nice gift for the German Shepherd fan in your life. Leather is durable, comfortable and built to last. Your friend will love having a new collar to display on her dog. For an extra touch, have a dog tag engraved with the animal's name and your friend's phone number. Leathers come in classic browns and blacks as well as pink, turquoise, white and red hues.

    Animal Figurines

    • A German Shepherd figurine is an elegant remembrance that's budget friendly. Figurines are hand cast and feature intricate detailing on the facial features, eyes and fur. Similar gift items include Shepherd magnets, holiday ornaments and pen stands.

    Toy Goodie Bag

    • Dog toys have got a lot of personality. Friends who work or travel will appreciate receiving some challenging dog toys for their German Shepherds. Your local pet store will have all manner of puzzle toys, toys that you can fill with treats for food-motivated Shepherds and gourmet doggie biscuits. Mix and match treats with plush stuffed animals, squeaky toys and rawhide chews. Throw in a German Shepherd breed T-shirt for your friend, and both owner and dog are happy.
