Is a German Shepherd the same thing as a K9?

Not exactly. A K9 is a dog specially trained to do police work. Some K9s are German Shepherds, but some are Malinois or other breeds. And most German Shepherds are pets, not K9s.

Answer:

k9 is slang for the Word "canine", which means dog.... So yes, German shepherds are k9's!!!!!!!!
