German Shepherds carry a dense double coat, either a standard stock coat or a longer variety, and they blow it heavily twice a year. The right tools are a high-velocity dryer and an undercoat rake to clear loose undercoat; never shave it. Longer-coated dogs mat behind the ears and in the rear pants, so those areas need extra combing.
