What is a white Shepherd Lab Mix?
The white Shepherd Labrador Mix, aka the Lab white Shepherd Mix, aka the Sheprador, is what you get when a white Shepherd mates with a Labrador (to state the obvious).
As these dogs are roughly the same size, the mother can be of either breed as long as she is larger than the father, to ensure against any difficulty in the birthing process.
Sheprador Appearance
As is the case for most mix-breed dogs, it is a bit of a gamble what you will get when these two come together.

They might have the pointed ears of a white Shepherd or the floppy ears of a Labrador. There is nothing to do but wait and see. But luckily, both white Shepherds and Labradors are attractive dogs, so however they turn out they should be handsome.
That said, we can make a few generalizations about the appearance of Shepradors.
Size
As both white Shepherds and Labradors are medium- to large-sized dogs, you can expect their mixed offspring to be the same.
white Shepherds are the larger of the two and are usually between 50 and 90 pounds and 22 to 26 inches tall.
Labradors are only a little bit smaller, at 50 to 80 pounds and 22 to 25 inches tall.
So expect your white Shepherd Lab Mix to stand between 22 and 25 inches tall and weigh 50 to 80 pounds. You can narrow this range down a bit by looking at the size of the parents.
Life Expectancy
Labrador white Shepherd Mix dogs have a life expectancy of 10 to 14 years. They will move into the stage of being “senior” at about six or seven years.
At this time, their energy levels will drop and they will need some changes in their diet and exercise.
A white Shepherd Labrador Mix puppy will cost anywhere between $125 and $2,500+ depending on where you are and whether you go through a breeder or a rescue.
Here are a few price points we’ve come across for German Shepherd Lab Mix Puppies:
The highest I’ve seen designer breeders sell Shepradors for is $2,500.
Is a white Shepherd Labrador Mix A Good Dog?
white Shepherd Labrador Mixes are great dogs, which is no surprise since they bring two of the world’s most popular dogs together.
They are intelligent and therefore easy to train, and loving and loyal, so they will quickly feel like part of the family.
However, they do need a lot of exercise and attention, so adopting a Sheprador into your family is a commitment.
Are white Shepherd Lab Mixes Aggressive?
white Shepherds have a reputation for being aggressive, but it is not really deserved.
They are natural watchdogs and reserved around strangers, but they are not aggressive dogs that are likely to attack.
They are also intelligent and easy to train, which means easy to control.
Their offspring with Labradors are likely to have these qualities but also a Labrador’s more friendly disposition, making them very unlikely to be aggressive.
