German Shepherds have big ears to help them with their keen sense of hearing. The large ears are able to pick up a wide range of sounds and help them with their alertness and ability to respond to potential threats or commands from their owners. Additionally, the size of their ears can also help regulate their body temperature by allowing heat to escape through the ears.
