German Shepherds & Big Dogs I Can't Stop Following
Fair warning, I follow a lot of German Shepherds. This is the evidence.
@strider.gsd - Another German Shepherd I happily follow. That face alone is enough to understand why this account made the list. I love this silly goof! 😂
STRIDER THE GERMAN SHEPHERD (@strider.gsd)
@loki - Loki the Wolfdog has been one of my favourite dog accounts to follow for years. The gorgeous photography, the adventures and that enormous, unforgettable face make this one very easy for me to keep coming back to.
Loki the Wolfdog
@apollo_germanshepherd - Apollo is a gorgeous German Shepherd living the boat life with his Golden Retriever brother Neptune. A giant dog, a boat and plenty of adventures is pretty much impossible for me to scroll past.
Apollo_GermanShepherd
@jupi_thegsd - Jupi is a German Shepherd with plenty of personality and a feed full of everyday adventures. Another GSD account that I can happily lose time scrolling through.
Jupi the GSD (@jupithegsd)
@_gsdbear - Bear, Bailey and Bruce are a German Shepherd family I've loved following. Bear sadly passed away, but his presence is still very much part of their story alongside Bailey and Bruce. ❤️

@bestboybenson - Benson is a big German Shepherd with the goofy, sweet personality I absolutely cannot resist. He has that wonderful combination of looking very imposing and being a complete baby.
Benson & Jake Zerner (@bestboybenson) · Chattanooga, TN
@von.jakoba - A whole family of German Shepherds and a kid who gets to grow up surrounded by all of them. How luck
Jakoba German Shepherds (@von.jakoba)
@instaremy.gsd - Another German Shepherd I happily have in my feed. Remy has exactly the kind of GSD face that makes me stop scrolling, and apparently I can never have too many of these accounts.
Remy
@archerthegsd - Archer is one seriously handsome German Shepherd. This is the kind of account I follow because the dog himself is more than enough reason.
archer.the.gsd
@gsdkaliandbeau - This account originally started for Kali, one of the German Shepherds I loved following. They sadly lost him, and now it's Ally and Beau carrying on the account. I still think of it as Kali's account too, though. ❤️
Kali & Beau | German Shepherd Dogs
@dukee.the.gsd - Dukee is another one of those GSD accounts I genuinely enjoy having in my feed. That face and his unquie color gets me every time.

Kitty is a Bernese Mountain Dog, which automatically puts her in my big-dog category. 😂 She is also the reason The St. Regis Aspen is on my bucket list. I mean, a hotel with a giant fluffy resident dog? Obviously I need to go there someday. ❤️
Kitty Jacob Astor II Hotel Dog (@kittythebernese)
Julius is a German Shepherd, so naturally he caught my attention. 😂 I know I've said I love a dog's face before, but look at him. Just look. You'll know exactly what I'm talking about. And those snowy photos? Just wow. ❤️
Julius The German Shepherd (@withlovejulius)
@enzo.swe - Enzo was honestly one of the most beautiful German Shepherds I've ever seen on Instagram. That face, that coat, that whole regal look. 😍 But the photos and videos of him with his little sister Lilo are some of the sweetest I've ever seen...
Lilo & Enzo (@enzo.swe)
@absolute_kaos1 - Kaos and Mayhem are two big German Shepherds in Melbourne, but I'm especially partial to Kaos because he looks so much like my own GSD. 😂 So obviously I'm going to have a soft spot for him. And then there's their tiny human, which ...
Kaos & Mayhem (@absolute_kaos1)
Dog Photography, Rescue Stories & Adventures
Dog accounts that tell a story, whether it's a portrait, a rescue or a trail.
@thedogist - Beautiful dog portraits paired with the stories behind the dogs. I love how each post feels like a little glimpse into that particular dog's life and personality.
The Dogist
@thiswildidea - I loved Maddie, and now I can't get over Wilson. 😂 Theron's photography has always made this account special, but that tall, scraggly Wilson has completely stolen my attention. I could look at that face all day. ❤️
Theron Humphrey (@thiswildidea)
@theasherhouse - Rescue dogs, big personalities and a whole lot of animals. I love that there is always a story behind the dogs and that the account is about giving rescued animals a life beyond simply being rescued.
Lee Asher
@ourlifewithstrays - Nova and Indie are the rescue dogs at the heart of this account. I love following dogs who have come from less-than-ideal beginnings and getting to watch them enjoy the good life.
Our life with strays (@ourlifewithstrays)
@thegoldenratio4 - Special-needs rescue Golden Retrievers living the good life in the Florida Keys. I love seeing these dogs enjoying life and getting the care and attention they deserve.
The Golden Ratio (@thegoldenratio4)
@cocoathetourdog - Cocoa was a rescue dog who became Stick Figure's beloved tour dog, travelling with the band for years. Her account is such a lovely record of the life she had, and I love that her story continues through The Cocoa Foundation and th...
Cocoa The Tour Dog (@cocoathetourdog)
@stevie_the_wonderdog - Stevie has such a distinctive personality and a wonderfully wobbly way of getting around. I love seeing him just being a dog and enjoying his life. An absolute sweetheart ❤️
Stevie the Wonderdog ❤️ (@stevie_the_wonderdog)
@threespanishmutts - This is Elke Vogelsang's account, and her dog photography is just incredible. Her three Spanish rescue mutts were the original stars, and honestly, the expressions she captures on these dogs are everything. I could scroll through...
Alfonso the galgo (@threespanishmutts)
@babywallybear - Wally is a rescue Tibetan Mastiff with such a beautiful story, and I love seeing how his life turned around. He went from being scared and shut down to becoming this huge, happy, goofy dog, and now he has Harlow, another rescue, as h...

@tuckerbudzyn — Tucker Budzyn Tucker is pure personality. One of those dog accounts that makes you smile even when you only meant to check Instagram for a minute.
TUCKER | The Golden Retriever (@tuckerbudzyn)
@aguyandgoldenn — A Guy and a Golden Golden Retriever adventures, beautiful moments and plenty of reasons to keep scrolling.
AGuyandAGolden (@aguyandagoldenn)
@wearegoodpets- The Chuck & Barry Show. Chuck the Staffy and Barry the Golden Retriever, with those hilarious "dog's inner voice" videos that make me stop scrolling and actually watch the two silly beans. 😂
The Chuck & Barry Show 🎬 (@wearegoodpets)
@mensweardog- Bodhi was the original Menswear Dog and an absolute fashion icon. He passed away in 2024, but Luc, his younger Korean Jindo brother, now carries on the account. Basically dogs and fashion in one place, so of course I'm following.
Menswear Dog (@mensweardog)
@meetthechows - Rambo, aka Soup Baby, is a senior German Shepherd and honestly, I want to come back as him in my next life. 😂 The way whole family takes care of him, fusses over him and basically makes sure he wants for nothing? They take better car...
Anny & Rambo (@meetthechows)
@djangosmiles - The name is perfect because Django really does have one of those faces that looks like he's permanently in on the joke. The goofy, happy energy is impossible not to like.
Django Smiles (@djangosmiles)
@norbertbarkah - Norbert and Mama Sue's voice are such a calming presence. I love them so much. I could honestly listen to her speak all day. There's just something about the two of them that makes me want to stop and stay awhile. ❤️
Norbert Barkah
@thegoodhypeofficial A whole pack of dogs, foster dogs and plenty of chaos. I love that you never quite know which dog is going to become the star of the next post.
Goodlin Siblings (@thegoodhypeofficial)
@topi_the_dog Topi is a travelling Shepherd who has been to 16 countries. Even as a senior dog, he still has that "where are we going next?" energy, which makes this one especially fun to follow.
TOPI THE DOG. Cheesefluencer (@topi_the_dog)
@labradude - Blue looks like an old man who somehow got put into a dog's body and I absolutely love his face. 😂 That serious little expression kills me. Add his "VP of Distractions" job title and I'm completely sold.
Labradude
@bigblindbear Such a beautiful baby. ❤️ Bless his little heart. I love seeing Bear just living his life, being his happy, goofy self and reminding everyone that being a little different doesn't stop you from having a wonderful life.
Big Blind Bear (@bigblindbear)
@max.and.murph - Two dogs, two personalities, and a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever duo, so obviously this was an easy follow for me. 😂 Max being a GSD already had my attention, but the two of them together are what really make this account so ...
German Shepherd & Golden Retriever (@max.and.murph)
@goodboycharlie_bht - A German Shepherd doing tarot? I'm in. 😂 He had me at GSD anyway, but then I discovered he's basically the oracle doggy and that sealed the deal. Honestly, I would absolutely take advice from this handsome boy.
