Hi. i have a 11 month old german shepherd dog, he is house trainned so he does his wee and poo’s outside in our back garden. but i want to get him to do it outside, everytime i take him for a walk he will sniff plenty off trees but not do anything, he would wait till we get back home before running into the garden for a wee. i dont no what to do, even when we got to the park for most of the day 3 hours + and hes had plenty of water still nothing he will wait till were home before he does anything. and also when he wees he does not lift his leg. is this something he will get into or is there anything i can do?

any help will be very appreciated. thanks

Hiya, do you have a key word that you use? We tell our pup to ‘do your business’. If you start saying this (or word of your choice) as soon as your pup goes in the garden and then give him a tasty treat. Do it for 2 or 3 days, every time he goes, say do your business and then treat. Then take him outside and say ‘do your business’ and give him the treat when he does. He should associate doing his business with a lovely treat so he should go outside. As soon as he has done a few outside restrict the area he is allowed to go in the garden, put up some mesh or herris fencing and keep making it smaller and then don’t take him in the garden. Be very strict with your walks, morning, after play and before bedtime etc, so he knows he can do his business at those times. Remember, key word and treat, in garden first so he associates going with something nice and then tell him to go outside and treat. He will pick it up quickly. Our pup goes where ever we tell him to do his business. Good luck … ps once he starts going outside, but a lemony detergent to wash your garden down with or a solution of white wine vinegar, this will kill the scent… oh and if you cant restrict the area in the garden keep him on a lead!

German Shepherd Training – 8 Tips on Dealing With Aggression

In this article I would like to discuss the basics of German Shepherd training, specifically, dealing with aggression in this particular breed. Since the German Shepherd is an athletic dog often times used in protection roles, many feel that they are prone to aggression. This is simply not true.

Let’s get to the basics of training an aggressive German Shepherd:

• Canines need to understand that you are the alpha dog in the house. German Shepherds are no different. From day 1 of owning them, your dog should view you as alpha. If you are well into your relationship with your German Shepherd and have not established the alpha role, you may experience some resistance.

• Humiliation, abuse, and corporal punishment have no place when dealing with aggressive behavior. A mild shake by the scruff of the neck to emphasize the rules is typically enough.

• Reward him for behaving calmly with food treats, praise, and petting.

• It is essential to reward calm and good behavior during training. This is positive reinforcement for the Shepherd, and positive reinforcement breeds more good behavior.

• All members of your family should understand the idea of “alpha dog”; and dog psychology and socialization. When you’re not around, the last thing you want is for your training to be deconstructed.

• Guarding breeds such as German Shepherds need special emphasis on socialization. Make sure he has plenty of interactive with humans and other dogs throughout his life.

• Shepherds, as with all dogs, need exercise. Lack of exercise is a major cause of aggressive behavior in canines, German Shepherds are no different. Take your Shepherd jogging, running alongside you as you bike or rollerblade, hiking, etc. Even regular games of fetch will benefit. Consistent exercise is key, strive for at least a 45 minute walk per day.

• Take your Shepherd to typical obedience classes and get them to at least an intermediate level. His mind should be stimulated and occupied.

Being the owner, your dog is your responsibility, and training your dog falls on your shoulders. Training, however, shouldn’t be looked at as a burden. German Shepherd training is a mutually beneficial process, and can lead to years of joy with your new best friend.

Does anyone know anything about the raw diets for dogs? This is new to me and very interesting.?

My friend I met at Oxford University who is also very enthusiastic about animals emailed me this news article and it has gotten my mind turning. I really care about the health of my beloved German Shepherd/Labrador mix Candice. I am currently feeding her Eukanuba large breed which my vet said was excellent.

Does anyone have any info about this. Here the article I was emailed.

http://www.ukrmb.co.uk/images/Picking%20Meaty%20Bones%20-timepacific.pdf

I absolutely LOVE the raw diet.

My adult dogs get chicken necks, lamb shanks, beef thigh bones, eggs and a loosely chopped selection of broccoli, spinach, apples, oranges, celery, bok choy, carrots and capsicum.

My puppies get minced pork and chicken with the same fruit and vegies as above except they are all minced.

They all get minced heart, liver, brains and tripe once or twice a week too.

I also supplement with TRIO from http://www.vitec.com.au and with Livamol.

Highly recommend it – it’s what they naturally should eat and it’s great for their health, teeth, digestion and coats.

Google ‘raw dog food’ and ‘barf’ and plenty of reading material will come up.

I agree that Ian Billinghurst’s ‘Give Your Dog A Bone’ is great – also check out his other books.

What should my puppy have learned?

I have a 10 week old Golden Shepherd (Designer dog, a mix between a Golden retriever and German Shepherd Dog) puppy. I have been looking for what she should have learned by a certain age up to a year old like how old they are when they are house trained and other things. if anyone has a website that they know of or can give me a month-by-month chart of what should have been learned that would be great! thanks and have a nice day

Don’t expect too much of her at this age. Up until the age of three months (when basic training starts) all you need to do is ask her to sit for a treat and teach her to come to you, again with the aid of a treat. Puppies of 10 weeks old need lots of play and stimulation – the training can come later.

Regarding housetraining, a puppy has no real control of her bodily functions until it is at least 6 months old but you can start to housetrain her straight away by taking her out to a designated spot as soon as she wakes up in the morning, after every meal, after playing indoors for any length of time, and always last thing at night before you settle her down to bed. You need to keep her on a leash when you take her outside to go potty and when she does as she is asked then you can reward her with a little treat and say ‘Good girl’. You’ll find if you keep to this routine you will have a clean puppy in no time. There will be the odd ‘accident’ of course and this is usually through no fault of the puppy. It is because she has been left alone too long or you have not noticed the signs that she needs to go out to relieve herself, i.e. pacing, turning round in circles, and squatting.
You will find that before very long when she needs to go potty she will walk towards the exit door to go to ‘her place’ outside.

Good luck with your pup.

How to Evaluate Dog Breeders

Before you can determine whether or not a particular dog will be of value to you there are two basic items that must be addressed. One, you must know the breed of dog you want. Are you after a German Shepherd, Bernese Mountain dog, Newfoundland, Yorkshire Terrier or other type? If it’s a German Shepherd that you want you should be looking for german shepherd dog breeders. And two, you must be aware of some specific information about that breed. The information you need to be versed on includes the correct size for your dog breed, how often it needs to be brushed, how much activity or exercise it needs daily, if there are genetic diseases that are common with this type, have there been tests performed that have ruled these diseases out in this pup, and what else is required in maintaining it’s health such as clipping its nails.

There is a lot of additional information that is important for you to know as well. Some dog breeders don’t actually do the breeding themselves, but buy their animals from other areas. You should stick with a breeder that breeds and raises the pups on site. The reason for this is because you can better determine if this puppy was raised in a clean environment. Without examining its place of birth you have no idea what sort of environment it was raised in. Puppies can end up with mental or physical deficiencies if brought up in a cruel or unkempt environment.

Another item for concern is the age of the puppies that you are interested in. The puppies should be at least seven weeks old before they are placed. Their parents should be at least two years old before breeding and should have been tested for any possible genetic diseases.

When purchasing puppies it’s important that the pups have had some interaction with other animals and children. This is to help ensure that the dogs will be friendly and sociable. It’s also a good idea to get your puppy from a dog breeder that will allow you to call him later with any questions or concerns you may have about your animal.

There is a lot to know about breeding dogs and it’s very hard to find a competent experienced dog breeder who raises more than 4 or 5 different breeds. If he raises 6 or 8 or more it’s probably a good idea to look else ware for you puppy. Also, most experienced breeders belong to one or more breed clubs so ask them if that’s true with them.

As you are concerned about the specific breeder he should also show some concern with you as well. If he asks you questions about they type of environment that you will raising the pup, your family, and your experience with animals it’s usually a good sign that the animal has been raised with love. The breeder should have concern for the placement of his puppies.

Once you have made a decision to buy a specific dog there are few other items that should be addressed. A suggested diet should be provided for your animal. You should receive a registration certificate with your purchase. You should also require the seller to give you a 3-generation pedigree chart for the dog, a health record of the animal that includes dates the puppy was inoculated or received other veterinary care. Another important item is a health guarantee and you should require one. If it’s later discovered that the dog suffers from a genetic disease, for example, you should have some recourse. Along these same lines you should have in writing that you are allowed, within a reasonable amount of time, to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian at your own expense. And if it is found that the dog you have purchased has any defects, as determined by the veterinarian, you can return it for a full refund.

Finding the perfect dog can be a long and tedious process, but with a little preparation, education and effort it’s possible to obtain a quality animal that you will be proud to own.

german shepherd newborn puppies
Does anyone know what color these German Shepherd puppies are?

I have a newborn litter of purebred German Shepherds. Mom was rescued while pregnant. I am trying to figure out what color they are with no luck. The only newborn pictures I can find online are of black and tan puppies. Mom appears to be silver. I have uploaded pictures to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26121312@N03/ If anyone knows what colors they are please let me know. Thank you.
I cannot know for certain that they are purebred but it is likely. The home she was rescued from has an intact male German Shepherd that was seen breeding this female.

The facial markings are just too untypical for GSDs – those markings look white, not tan, and some of them are present where a GSD pup should have only dark pigment. Plus the pups don’t have just the odd white toe, they have a whole white foot, even a whole white leg!

If there are just 5 pups, the 5 in image 1113, then from the left they are almost certain to be sable, blue saddle-marked, blue saddle-marked, sable, sable.

Which breed of dogs bites more often?

Dogs are man’s best friend. Over the years, they have been known for their love and loyalty towards their owners or human family. But just like any other best friends, however, there are also times that these animals become pissed off or angry; it is during these times that dogs become dangerous or aggressive. These aggressions sometimes lead to worse outcomes such as dog bites and even fatalities.
There have been so many reports and studies on injuries and deaths caused by dog attacks. These reports have caused parents who have children with pets to be worried-sick about their children’s welfare. It’s a good thing though that first aid tips are furnished so that the next time you or your kids are bitten by your very pet, you would know what to do. There are also reports and studies that come with an account of which breed of dogs bites more often.

The breeds which are considered to bite more often are pit bull, Rottweiler, Akita, Chow-Chow, German shepherds, Huskies and Malamutes. The first two on the list are said to have caused 67% of the 300 dog-related deaths that were recorded from 1979 to 1998. Given the list, the best thing that parents could probably do is to avoid buying these kinds of dogs. Or, if you are kid is such a dog lover and could never live without a pet; try not to leave them alone with these dogs at home.

Another way to avoid canine-inflicted cases is to understand the nature of dogs’ aggressive behavior. All dogs have the potential to bite not just strangers but also their owners but they do not feel angry or bite without any reasons. There are in fact some reasons for or causes of dog’s aggressive behavior that were pinpointed by some studies and it would be better if parents or any dog owner would take note of them.  According to these studies, dogs’ anger or aggression are caused by different aggravation, like disturbing the dog while it is resting, taking something from it, approaching quickly when it is afraid or hurt. It has also been discovered that even the most docile dogs could turn violent when they are placed in a pack, thus, pack mentality or having so many pets in the house has to be avoided. Furthermore, it is believed that male dogs bite more often than females, however, upon giving birth; the female ones have the tendency to have maternal aggression so any owner has to be watchful when cuddling their newborns. They are as protective to their puppies as human mothers are to her kids.

Until now, it is still not clear as to whether the mentioned breeds are indeed more violent than others. There has not been any scientific or genetic report that has proven that. However, no matter what breed you have, canine-related accidents could be avoided through responsible ownership. Advocates of animal rights have also advised that proper training and nurturing could likely prevent canine-inflicted homicides from rocketing.

west bred german shepherds breeders?

Hello,

I am looking into kennels for west bred gsd breeders.

I have found a couple I like but i am not rushing anything.

Where did you get yours from and if they have a website!

Please don’t give me answers to go to the shelter..I have and I want my dream dog, so please don’t nag me about it.

Also it could be anywhere in the U.S. i don’t mind traveling.

Thanks so much! and please serious answers only!

AND ONLY WEST GERMAN SHOW LINES PLEASE! and i want it black and red to look like this dog:

on youtube: hunkymonkeykaine

thats her channel thx!

Without knowing the specifics, it’ll be hard to point you to specific breeders.

Are you willing to ship? If you’re in Florida, and I suggest a breeder in Idaho, it may be a long trip for you to travel!

What are you looking for in your West German show line dog? Do you want a dog that can and will work, a dog that will eagerly excel in a performance sport, a dog that you can compete in Schutzhund with, or a dog that you can take to the SV show ring?

Here are a few breeders that immediately come to mind:

http://24kgsd.com

Michigan
An excellent breeder of West German show lines, she breeds true working show line dogs. If you want a dog to compete in a sport, you won’t go wrong with one of hers. She is a great breeder who knows what she is doing, and is active in showing and in Schutzhund. A great deal of her breeding stock are the Kirschental dogs I referred to before in another question.

http://www.theishof.com/

Idaho
Knowledgeable and helpful breeder of West German show lines, you’ll be able to see from the testimonials that many people are happy with the dogs they bought from her. From what I hear, she shows actively and works her dogs as well.

http://www.4germanshep.com/

California
I have known of quite a few Grunenfeld dogs. I think the breeder breeds West German show lines as well as the working lines, and sometimes a mix of the two. Her dogs are involved in the show ring, in performance sports, and are family companions, working dogs, show dogs, as well as service dogs.

It’s important to get a good feel for what a breeder’s goals are and what types of dogs he or she aims to breed. Even though you are looking for West German show lines, some breeders aim to breed with the intentions of producing VA rated dogs that may or may not be ideal working dogs. Others strive for a “golden middle” by breeding show line dogs that retain their working ability as well.

Make sure to know your breeder and form a good relationship with him/her. Let your breeder know exactly what kind of dog you are looking for, and your plans for that dog. Most dogs from West German show lines will be red and black saddle backs, but temperament and drive will play a big role as well.

Good luck!

A Look at Snowbirds and Their Pets

Long before winter’s blustery chill begins to sting the bones, plans are being made by people in Canada, the Northeast and Midwestern United States to seek the warmer climes of the south. It’s an interesting phenomenon that occurs each year and mimics the migration ritual of our feathered friends.

These “snowbirds” (as they are affectionately called) flock to Arizona, Florida and other places along the Sunbelt to avoid winter’s bite and inconvenience. Northern Europeans also are known to head to warmer places in the U.S., adding to these second communities of seasonal residents each year.

Snowbirds are typically retirees or business owners who can afford to be away for extended periods of time. Many have a second home in a warmer location, while others take their home on wheels with them in the form of an RV or camper.

Jack and Ethel W. have been making the trip for 18 years. Pulling out of their snow-banked driveway in upstate Ohio, their 28-foot Fleetwood Southwind RV is loaded with rations, lighter clothes than they would have needed had they stayed home, and Phantom, their four-legged, eight-year-old. That’s right, more and more people travel with their pets these days and snowbirds are no exception. The couple wouldn’t dream of leaving behind their special member of the family, a Lhasa Apso. He’s like one of their children. They’ll stay gone five or six weeks in southern Georgia, while taking several side trips to explore new places.

Rick S. pulls his 38-foot Prowler fifth wheel from Connecticut to Florida each year. His only passengers are Harley and Davidson, two 80-pound German shepherds who earn their keep by sharing “navigator” duties as Rick mans all the driving. He heads south in early November, not to return until mid-April. He enjoys the warmer weather fishing with his pals at his modest lake house until the last signs of the northern winter dissipate.

Traveling with pets long distances and for long periods of time presents challenges not only for snowbirds but also for the pets they take along. According to Dr. Mitch Spindell, site vet on PetTravelCenter.com, the first thing one should always consider is how physically able a pet is to travel. Some senior, pregnant, injured, or otherwise physically impaired pets do not travel well. Besides making sure your pet is physically fit and comfortable to make the trip, here are some tips to consider:

1. If your pet has any chronic conditions, take all pertinent medical records. It’s a good idea to have your pet’s records with you any time you travel long distances.

2. If your pet is on any long-term medications, be sure to have plenty to last your entire stay.

3. If you are driving north or south of the U.S. border, be sure to check all local regulations and have your pet’s current health certificates with you.

4. Establish a local vet in the area as soon as possible in case of emergency. Go to PetTravelCenter.com and click on Emergency Tips for more information.

5.Ask a local vet about any diseases or parasites that may be present in that part of the country (Lyme disease in New England or year-round fleas in Florida, for instance). Your pet may not be protected against these if they are not present where you live.

Just as your passengers’ safety is vitally important when you travel, don’t forget about your pet’s safety as well. As unrestrained 25-pound dog, for example, becomes a 1,000-pound projectile in a 40 mile-per-hour crash. This type of mass flying uncontrollably around a vehicle could be deadly not only to your pet but also to you and your passengers.

Look out for your precious cargo by providing your pet with a car seat equipped with a restraining device (for smaller pets) or a vehicle pet harness that is secured with a seat belt. Cats should be kept in a carrier suitable for traveling, also secured with a seat belt.

A travel tag on a pet’s collar will help someone locate you locally should you and your pet become separated. The travel tag should contain information about where you are staying (while away from home), including addresses and phone numbers. A cell phone number is also a good idea to have on the tag since most people have one with them, especially when they travel.

Another item to consider is a pet first-aid kit. It’s important that you are not only familiar with the items you pack in the kit but know how to use them.

So, as Anne Murray sings in the popular song, “Snowbird”:

“Spread your tiny wings and fly away

And take the snow back with you

Where it came from on that day

…

So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow…”

Happy travels!

german shepherd shedding season
Why does my german shepherd keep digging at quilts, carpets and the sofa, and keeps whining all the time?

she basically keeps digging at the sofa digging at the carpet and quilts etc, she ha never done it before, she is also very whiney all day long, she is a one year old, she has had 2 seasons, can anyone shed any light on this situation?

Hi Jon, Does your dog get chance to dig outside? Digging is a natural behavioural pattern for dogs and they have the need to do it. If she can’t dig outside then she’ll go through the motions of digging inside the house. I had the same problem with my dog and noticed her whimper when I gave her a bone and she was constantly trying to bury it in the carpet, bedspread etc.

The Belgian Malinois Dog Breed

The Belgian Malinois closely resembles the German Shepherd breed, although they are usually a little smaller. They tend to be 60 to 65 pounds and 22 to 26 inches in height. You will find the Belgian Malinois is a shorthaired dog, which is typically fawn or mahogany in color. They also have black tipped ears and face. They have a long tail that is usually hanging down. Their body is sleek and muscular. You will find the Belgian Malinois has short hair that is often coarse to the touch with a denser undercoat that is slightly longer in length. They tend to be average shedders.

When you adopt a Belgian Malinois you want to make sure you know everything about them in order to make sure you provide the proper care. For grooming needs the Belgian Malinois needs to have daily brushings to remove the dead or loose hair. Since the hair is short they don?t require clipping or an extreme brushing because it will not get matted or tangled. You should only give the Belgian Malinois? baths when it is absolutely necessary. They can suffer from skin irritations if bathed too often. You will find the shedding is usually seasonal so they may shed a little more at certain times of the year. On a daily basis you should check their feet, nails, teeth, ears, and eyes to make sure they have not injured themselves.

The Belgian Malinois is in the herding breeding group. This means they typically display dominant behavior and can be protective as well as very muscular. You will find they are defensive of their property. This also makes them great as guard dogs for any home. Typically behavioral characteristics you will find in the Belgian Malinois include alertness, agility, and a lot of energy. You will find their high intelligence makes training rather easy. They do need to have socialization and obedience training as puppies to provide the best behavior. You need to assert who is master and help them get along with children and other animals. They are best around larger animals that are not as passive. You also need to have respectful children as the dogs demand respect and gentle care. The Belgian Malinois is a pleasing dog for any owner and loves to have jobs.

For training you will find they are easily trained because of the intelligence and their working ability. They love to have tasks that work them both physically and mentally during the training. Remember that you need to be consistent and yet firm during the training to get the best results. You may want to seek a professional trainer to help you with some ideas regarding training. You will find also that they need a lot of space. They are medium sized dogs so they need to have daily exercise for at least an hour. It is best to have a home with a medium or large backyard; however if you do live in an apartment they will be okay, as long as you provide more exercise during the day. They are very active and being cooped up while you are at work can be stressful. It is best to have a job where you can go home for lunch and offer them some exercise and play.

The Belgian Malinois does best with a lot of exercise, room, and loving owners. They are eager to please anyone and do require some training. It is important that they are feed on a routine as well as exercised with routine to provide healthy living conditions.

What could this kind of growth be on a German Shepherd?

My friend’s German Shepherd has a small, bright red-colored growth looking thing on his chest. He is an adult German Shepherd. We both work at a Veterinarian’s office and was trying to figure out what it was. It’s smaller than the size of an egg. It hasn’t ulcerated yet or whatever. She’s worried about cancer. Any ideas on what kind of growth it might be? Any information will be helpful.
My friend’s dog was at her house, and we were just researching some on our own while at work and gathering opinions. She is going to take it to the Vets.

You’d rather ask us Y!A cyber-nuts than to ask the vet you work for? DUH! It is something that requires a Vet’s opinion anyway. What’s the deal about your not wanting to take the dog to the vet?

A Brief Look into German Shepard Puppies

German Shepard puppies have only risen in popularity in the later 19th century.  This breed of large sized dogs is classified as working dogs, and is part of a group that was originally utilized to herd sheep.   As early as their stage as puppies, they already exhibit acute intelligence and strength, much so that they are often given roles in the police and military forces anywhere in the world.  They also show a fierce loyal and defensive nature, these characteristic have also been acknowledged by dog owners, making the German Shepard ideal guard and companion dogs.  They are currently one of the dog world’s most registered breeds.

German Shepard puppies trace their origins in Germany’s Phylax Society, which in the 1890s, aimed to standardize dog breeds.  When the society disbanded only after three years its foundation, a former member, ex-cavalry captain Max von Stephanitz founded the Society for the German Shepherd Dog, aiming to breed working dogs patterned after a superior dog he discovered in a dog show named Horand von Grafrath.  Horand and offspring were the first German Shepard dogs, with this breed gaining international recognition after the First World War, when German Shepard dogs were used in missions.  Furthering the popularity of the breed were movies that featured German Shepard dogs Strongheart and Rin Tin Tin.

German Shepard puppies are available in a number of colors; common colors are combinations of black and red and black and tan and have double coats.  Even as puppies, they are specifically grown and bred as they have been proven to the world’s third most intelligent dog breed.  As working dogs, their training in police and military work start at a young age.  Alas, they are also known for their keen sense of smell.
