Yes. They are both canis domesticus, both the same species; dog breeds are the result of selection by humans . Difference in size is the only factor that would prevent two dogs of different breeds from breeding.
That said, as a mix between German Shepherd and Labrador parents, you can expect the German Sheprador to be on the large side. Most weigh in at 60 to 95 pounds and range in height from 20 to 27 inches at the shoulder.

Much of the reason a dog’s hair starts to grey lies mostly in their genetics, and the German Shepherd is no different. Your German Shepherd could be as young as three years old, or as old as 15 years old, when their coat begins to grey.
Ten to thirteen years of age is the average when German Shepherds die.
The first year of a dog’s life is equal to 15 human years. The second year of a dog’s life is equal to about nine human years. Each additional year is equal to about four or five human years.
For example, a 7-week-old puppy would be equivalent roughly to a 9-month-old human baby, both of whom are just starting to sprout teeth. The formula also nicely matches up the average life span of Labrador retrievers (12 years) with the worldwide lifetime expectancy of humans (70 years).
