Polish names for German Shepherd?

my family is getting a german shepherd soon and we want to name it something polish (we’re polish) what are some popular/cute/original polish names? (please tell me the meanings as well)

Most popular names for males are: azor, pikus’ (which doesn’t mean anything), Kuba, Fred (also people’s names)
I think that Szar is for Szarik, in Russian it means a little cute ball (in a popular Polish series about WW2 there was a german shepherd called like this)

For females: Sara, Kora, Sonia (Polish feminine names), Saba (a hero of a Henryk’s Sienkiewicz book), Kropka (a dot)

For something funny, you can name your dog Bigos – a typically Polish food, Maniek which is a shorter form of a funny Polish name Marian, or Lucek (for Polish name Lucjan), Krokodyl (crocodile), Mis’ (teddy bear)…

Why Are German Shepherd So German?

German Shepherds first started being developed in the late 19th century by a man named Max von Stephanitz. Stephanitz is still today credited as having fathered the entire German Shepherd breed. An admirer of the German sheep dog of the time, he chose to breed selectively to procure his most desired traits and weed out those that were unnecessary or undesirable. Stephanitz bred his dogs for years, creating the founding root of the German Shepherd breed and eventually become the dog we know today.

When the German Shepherd was brought over to the United States, the breeders in America changed up the bloodlines of the breed by mating it with other types of dog. It is still up for debate whether these breeders aided or damaged the development of the German Shepherd, as American breeders were working towards a show-quality dog while the original German Shepherd was intended primarily for work.

German Shepherds in the United States have coats that are on the shorter side of medium, usually brown and black, tan and black, or cream and black, but not uncommonly producing an all white or all black variety. The truly German variety of the breed has a longer coat which is occasionally (but rarely) seen in the U.S.

German Shepherds were initially developed by Stephanitz as a working breed. To this day, even with the American cross breeding, German Shepherds excel in the work force as hunters, farm dogs, service dogs, narcotics dogs, and law enforcement dogs. German Shepherds are an exceedingly agile, strong, and athletic breed, with a very malleable temperament. They can be trained to work as aggressive guard dogs or be gentle helpers on the farm.

In their native country, the breeding of German Shepherds is so meticulously monitored that a registered shepherd must have had both its sire and damn Shutzhund certified, which means that they have been evaluated for temperament and ability by professionals. Shutzhund certification pays no mind to the size, coat, or general appearance of the dog, which is vastly different from the American variety of canine judging.

The primary visible difference between true German Shepherds and American German Shepherds, besides the length of their coat, is the lack of sloped hips. True German Shepherds have hips level with their shoulders, as the original breed was intended to. American German Shepherds have a distinct slope at the back of the torso into the hips. Sloped hips are argued over by many international breed enthusiasts, being the desired trait for showmanship in America, but also leading to an earlier onset and more significant risk of hip dysplasia.

Whether you are choosing to acquire an American German Shepherd or seeking out a true German Shepherd, you must research your breeder thoroughly. Because of the popularity of this breed and its potential for strength, there are many unethical breeders out there who are trying to turn a quick profit by mating irresponsibly. With proper research, either variety of German Shepherd can provide you with a loyal worker or a loving family pet.

Do you know any cool but cute names for a male German Shepherd mix?

Okay, please don’t start saying, “this is YOUR dog, YOUR option” stuff. This is a dog for my story, so it’s not a real dog.
Preferably names for a male German Shepherd mix. I want some cool names, cute, but different. Not something ordinary like Cody or Max.

I fostered a GSD name Zeus. It was a nice tough big dog name.

How to choose the best German Shepherd Dog pup in the litter

 How to choose the best German Shepherd Dog puppy in the litter.

by Dennis Fisher.

If you are interested in getting a dog that will turn out to be a show winner and you have the opportunity of choosing the most promising animal from the entire litter, here are important points to look for.

It is of course not easy to choose the best pup in the litter because pups do change – sometimes quite dramatically.   There have been occasions where the runt of the litter has turned out to be far better than his more promising littermates.  But as a rule, when one has the opportunity of examining the entire litter at eight weeks, it is generally possible to choose the best – certainly the best pup at that stage of growth.  Eight weeks is a probably the best time to make the choice.

After taking your time to examine all the pups in the litter carefully, make sure that the forelegs of the pup that takes your  fancy are straight and sturdy.  See that the pup has good bone which is indicated by thick “knuckle”.   If it is a male you are looking for, size and masculinity is important.  Although one must be aware that in recent years over-size in  males is a problem that has become more common  in the breed.  It is a fault and is something to be guarded against.

The pup should have a good strong  and clearly masculine head.  This is also of importance because there is a   tendency in recent years  for heads in males to be finer and less noble than  one would like.

The movement of the pup can be reasonably well  assessed even at this tender age of eight weeks. The well-balanced pup will appear to move with more harmony and more easily than the others in the litter.

Look for a pup with a high wither.  This is fairly easy to access,  but try and make sure that the high wither is not at the expense of a good shoulder formation.  This is rather difficult because excellent shoulder formation is not as common as one would wish.  The high wither that is such an attractive feature of the modern Shepherd is one of the reasons for this.    The shoulder should be well laid back with good length of upper arm.  Even at this early it is possible to see whether or not the pup has a good shoulder.  Of course a good shoulder is not merely an aesthetic requirement, it is essential for good forward reach and sound movement when the pup grows into a mature dog.

If you have to choose between a  pup that is slightly long in body length and one that is somewhat shorter in body length, if other factors are equal, give preference to the slightly shorter pup.  Sometimes body length is accompanied by weakness in back and will affect movement severely when the pup matures.

It goes without saying  that you should have seen both parents before having to make a decision and have been aware of any deficiencies present in addition to virtues. Examine, if possible, other animals they have produced.

It will also be of great benefit if you have background knowledge of the bloodlines.

The pup should have strong hindquarters with broad thighs, long stifles and good hocks. The length of stifle is also easily recognizable at the age of eight weeks. But this will change.  When you select a pup with a well angulated, long stifle, make a point of examining the away movement to see if the hocks are fairly firm.  Once cannot expect hocks to be too firm at this early age, but you don’t want a pup that has wobbly hocks.

The coat should be full but definitely not long.  A long coat is a serious fault in the show ring.  It is quite easy to detect a long coat in a pup because the pup show signs of a collie type coat and there will be tufts of fur coming from the ears.

Unless there are definite signs of color paling, which is a definite fault, color is not supposed to be of primary importance in the show ring.  However, there is no doubt that a well-pigmented animal is always  far more glamorous in the show ring and attracts more attention.

With  regard to ears, this is usually a matter about which you need not concern yourself if both parents have good ear carriage.  The ears do not become fully erect until the dogs finishes teething and six months, although many pups do get their  ears up much earlier. But if the ears are very long and inclined to be thick there might be a danger of soft ears.  Here again it is important to know the bloodlines of the parents.

  If the pup has a good head, with a deep muzzle, not a long collie type head, the chances are good  that the bite will be good and the pup will have the correct scissors  bite when he matures.  Many pups are over-shot when they are young, which means that the upper teeth protrude over the lower teeth.  If this is only slight it is not very serious and this fault might be corrected as the pup matures.  If however, it is marked there is a distinct danger that it might not change.   A scissor bite is very important and if there is a definite gap of more than 2mm. between the upper and lower teeth the dog will be heavily penalized in the show ring.

What cannot  be predicted with any degree of accuracy at this early stage,  is whether the pup will grow up to have full dentition – a full complement of teeth.  Quite often, when the pup matures and the teething process is over, the owner is very upset to find that an otherwise promising animal has a missing tooth.  This may seem a very minor fault – and in a family pet it is certainly of no real consequence – but in the show ring it is viewed in a serious light as it is regarded as a genetic fault.

 Even though the breeder is as anxious as you are to have your pup do well in the show ring, there is of course  no guarantee that your pup  is going to do well, as careful as you have been in your selection.   Bear in mind that the showing of dogs, particularly German Shepherds, in the highly competitive environment that exists today, is very demanding and often very frustrating.   Your dog may be a good specimen, but whether he becomes a show winner is entirely dependent on the quality of the competition!

If you do happen to win, enjoy your triumph with good grace. Entering Dog Shows should always be regarded as a sport. Be sportsmanlike.  Sometimes you win.  Sometimes you lose.  If you do happen be beaten by what the Judge considers to be a superior animal, be a gracious loser.

Because the competition is so intense and the standard of dogs being exhibited is improving all the time,  if you hope to do well at shows it is important to select a pup from the best show winning bloodlines.   Visit the following website for a great deal of useful information about present-day top-winning Shepherds and famous German Shepherds of the past:  http://www.freedogadvice.com

Male German Shepherd Name?

I recently asked for opinions on female German Shepherd names but we have decided to get a male now. The puppies were born 3 days ago and we went to go see them & their parents last night…. Their father Dallas is beyond HUGE and the breeder is very confident that the male pups will be every bit as big as him and thats what we want is a huge guard dog that is scary looking but very lovable (except to unwanted strangers in the house lol)

Roscoe is a great name, its different, but as a good sound to it. All the others are fairly common.
If you want a touch name, look at names from german guns/tanks etc,
such as Rugar or Mauser. You can often invent names from unusual sources if you use your imagination

Buying Black German Shepherd Puppies? Read This!

Before you hop into that pet shop or visit the local breeder in hopes of bringing home those precious black German Shepherd puppies, you might first want to read more about what to take notice of when you’re looking for that perfect dog.

The Real Deal with Puppy Mills

The reason why you should first arm yourself before buying black German Shepherd puppies is because of puppy mills. If you haven’t heard of them, puppy mills are pet shops or even people who breed dogs for the sole purpose of selling them and the reason why they should be avoided, is because they seldom care about the puppies’ welfare. Most of the time, dogs bought from Puppy Mills are sickly or are not cared for. There are also cases where the puppies come home with a disease with them, and chances of survival are very slim.

Red Flags Anyone?

The best way to avoid buying from puppy mills is to purchase a puppy from a credible, local club accredited breeder. If that option isn’t available, we’ve prepared a list of red flags that you could look out for. If your chosen “breeder” has more than three of these red flags, then we suggest that you should run for your life and for you money.

Run like hell if:

1. The kennels are dirty and do not look sanitary enough for pet’s welfare
2. Your breeder does not look as if he has taken care of his dogs
3. You do not feel any connection between the breeder and his pets
4. The breeder does not offer any contract or guarantee of some sort
5. The breeder avoids some of your questions
6. The breeder could not provide information about the sire and the dam
7. The breeder does not seem interested in their pet’s welfare

A responsible and credible breeder would be seen by the words he speak. If he really knows what he’s talking about, then there’d be no problem answering questions. All in all, follow the rule of thumb when looking for a breeder: If you don’t feel comfortable, move on to the next!

Tips for Choosing Female Dogs Names

Names for female dogs sound different than those for male dogs. Female dogs names tend to be short and have lots of soft sounding consonants and vowels. Since come female dogs of small breeds tend to be very active, this trait can help you in choosing the right name to match the dog. You may even choose a name that is the opposite of this trait if you want to train the dog to act in a different way.

Female dogs often have normal girls names such as Abby, Molly, Bonny, and Chloe. There are many graceful names you can choose from as well, such as Affinity and Precious. The names of the seasons are also well-suited to female dogs, such as Spring, Summer and Autumn. Weather names such as Rain, Snow and Sunshine sound very nice. When choosing the name, you should make sure it is one that you like since you will be using it quite often, especially when you are trying to train your puppy to behave inside the house. It should also be a name that won’t cause embarrassment when you call the dod to come to you in the park.

The top 20 most popular names for female dogs are:

- Molly

- Maggie

- Lady

- Sadie

- Lucy

- Daisy

- Ginger

- Abby

- Sasha

- Sandy

- Dakota

- Katie

- Annie

- Chelsea

- Princess

- Missy

- Sophie

- Chloe

- Bo

- Tasha

- Cocoa

A snow white dog could be aptly named Snow White and if you got the dog at Christmas, you could call it Christmas or Noelle.

You can also search through endless lists of dog names by breed. Names for female Labrador Retrievers can depend on the color of the dog, such as Goldie for a Golden Lab. Emma, Lexis, Bonnie, and Lacey are popular names for this breed. Female German Shepherd names include Bella, Cara and Diva. The name you choose should be one that is suited to a puppy and a fully grown dog, especially if the dog is a large breed.

Small breeds of dogs lend themselves to short, cute names that work well for both puppies and adult dogs because even when the dog is fully grown it still looks as if it is a puppy. Look at names that sound small and dainty, such as Angel, Baby, Bitsy or Elf. The name for a small dog should be short because it would be really funny to have a long name on a tiny dog.

The Internet is one of the best locations to start your search for a name for your female dog of any breed. You can sift through the lists and make notes of names that you like. Then try out the names on the dog to see which one she responds to most quickly. In this way, you are helping the dog to choose her own name.

Are You Compatible With German Shepherd Dogs?

German Shepherds are one of the most intelligent and versatile dog breeds in the world. But you need to know basic German Shepherd information to discoverwhat to expect from them before you bring one home. German Shepherd dogs are not satisfied until they are the center of attention. They are not vicious, but don’t know their own strength at times. German Shepherds are smarter than most people, which may get them into mischief in order to get your attention. They also can get more health problems than other breeds, especially hip and elbow dysplasia.

When anyone says the word dog, the image that pops up in most people’s mind is that of the German Shepherd. Also known as Alsatians (from the province in France where the breed was developed), the German Shepherd is one of the most popular dogs in the world. With their distinctive look, incredible intelligence and remarkable personalities, you would think the German Shepherd would be the perfect dog.

But a German Shepherd is not the dog for everyone. Their large size, their exuberant nature, their coats and sometimes health problems leave many thousands of German Shepherd Dogs to be abandoned every year. The Humane Society of the United States estimates that a quarter of all strays are purebreds, including purebred German Shepherds. Knowing basic German Shepherd information can help teach you what to expect from them as pets will help you decide if a German Shepherd is right for you and your family.

The incredible popularity of the German Shepherd has led to it being over bred. To keep up with the market for German Shepherd puppies, some breeders and puppy mills breed to death any German Shepherd they can find, no matter what it’s health. Responsible breeders and caring dog lovers are trying to stop this indiscriminate breeding and only breed healthy dogs. But German Shepherd can often seem to develop more health problems than other breeds.

The most common problem is hip dysplasia, which makes the hind legs crippled. This is a treatable condition that often involves X-rays and surgery. Many German Shepherds are abandoned just because the owners were not willing to pay the vet bills. You must be committed to caring for the dog’s health over luxuries for yourself. Many older German Shepherds also become blind, but dogs deal with blindness a lot better than people. The companionship of a German Shepherd should not have a price tag placed upon it.

German Shepherd dogs need to feel they have a job in order to be well-adjusted. They love company and to be part of the family. They hate being left out of anything. They use their intelligence to find ways of doing things they think you will like and praise them for. Whether you will like these actions is another matter. German Shepherds need supervision and training.

Because of their popularity, German Shepherd Dogs have been over bred, which has lead to health problems. Although responsible breeders would not breed an animal with health problems, which can be inherited by their puppies, many still do. The most common health problems with German Shepherds are hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and cancers. Even though many of these health problems can be easily treated, the previous owners do not want to or cannot pay the vet bills and instead abandon the dog. When you get a German Shepherd keep in mind that they may need frequent visits to the vet.

German Shepherds – Some of the Most Loyal Canine Friends

We live in a world where making friends has become a truly difficult thing and keeping one’s friends is not exactly an easy task to accomplish. People surround us all the time and, still, most of us feel alone. Friendship is one of the most beautiful things that we have and, if we are too busy to make friends or to keep contact with our old ones, we can always have a man’s best friend. Dogs are always there when we need companionship and they will never stop being our best friends.

The German Shepherd dog has existed as a distinct breed for ninety years and its ancestors were sheepherding and farming dogs from Germany. The German Shepherd is a middle-sized dog, usually weighing 75-95 pounds. Nowadays, the German Shepherds represent an appreciated breed due to their courage, loyalty and numerous abilities. However, if you consider this breed of dog for your family, you should be aware of the fact that they need love, attention and guidance.

German Shepherds represent one of the most popular and cherished breeds of dogs, due to the fact that they are intelligent, agile and very active. German Shepherds are also large, strong and very faithful. Although most people know that German Shepherds are black and tan, few are aware of the fact that these dogs come in a variety of colors and patterns, such as black and red, black and brown, black and silver, black and cream and blue and ten. These dogs represent ideal companions, watchdogs and guardians.

Before buying your puppy, it is important to do some research concerning puppy breeders. The most important thing is to buy a healthy puppy, from a breeder who is interested in finding a proper home for the puppy and who can provide you certification about its parents. Take a very good look at the puppy before buying it. Make sure it has a proper weight, it is clean and it does not smell, and that it appears to be friendly and playful. Another important thing is to test the puppy, see if it suffers from hip, and elbow dysplasia, which is a very common disease.

If you are considering purchasing a German Shepherd puppy, you should not think twice about it. German Shepherd puppies are very sociable and they need your attention and patience. They are excellent family dogs because they are friendly to all members of the household.

Of course, it does happen most of the times for them to have a favorite person. German Shepherd puppies will begin to be aware of their family after five or six months of age. Raising a puppy with young children will be an effort for the parents, but one that is worth making. The German Shepherd puppies will grow side by side with your children and become their best friends.

The German Shepherd puppy will bond with your family and will become a loyal friend. German Shepherd puppies have a good nature, although they need firm training. The training of your puppy is of utmost importance and it will last a lifetime.

Choosing a puppy requires a lot of research, time and effort, but few dogs have the qualities of a German Shepherd. If you choose such a dog, you can be certain that you will not regret your choice. They make one of the best picks from among the friendly canine beings.

Three Tips – Why You Shouldn’t Get A Black German Shepherd!

While the majority, if not all of the articles you’ve read online speak of how much fun it is to bring home your very own black German Shepherd, this article would tell you why you shouldn’t be getting this breed in the first place!

Before anything else, you shouldn’t get this article wrong. Black German Shepherds are adorable pets but different pets are for different owners! Hence, you should first understand what type of dog you would be getting in terms of attitude, temperament, and physical characteristics, before you even bring home your dog.

Here are top three of the reasons why you don’t want to pick this breed:

1) You’re not athletic

First, you should understand that this breed in general are big, athletic dogs and when I say athletic, that means they enjoy strenuous exercises and stuff like that. Therefore, you’d be obliged to take them out everyday to walk around the neighbourhood or even play with them. German Shepherds enjoy activities and require that they are always stimulated. If they’re not stimulated, they tend to become aggressive and anti-social.

2) You have Kids or Elderly
German Shepherds are small when they’re young but grow up to be very big dogs. That’s why they’re not ideal when you have kids or elderly at home. Most of the time, their big structures pose a problem to kids or old people that might get bumped or simply ran into.

3) You don’t have a big house or lot
While having a big lot is not necessary, you should remember that your dogs are athletic in nature. Hence, they require a big area for exercise and stimulation. It’s not always that you could bring them out for walks, so sometimes you just have to let them loose. During these times, a considerably large open space for running and playing is required for you dog. Other, smaller dogs, however, don’t require these.

famous german shepherd names
Do Rin TIn TIn’s still exist in France?

They are what the famous dog was named after.

Thank-you. Thank-you for that bit of information. Yesterday I went to the quarry to run my dogs and bumped into a friend who had just acquired a German Shepherd. I told about how the breed ended up with the hip dysplasia they are known for. (I don’t know if I’m spelling dysplasia properly)
It seems that when the movies of Rin Tin Tin came out the dog they used had hip dysplasia. A rare disease for the breed. But when the movies became famous and the public wanted German Shepherds for themselves; they wanted one
” just like ‘Rin Tin Tin’ ” ! So the breeders bred the damned disease into the dogs for money…. they actually cultivated a hip deformity into the animals because the gullible and naive public wanted what they believed to be a “real German Shepherd” ! The guy was as stunned as I was when I first heard about it.
So…to find your story on ‘answers’ is a bit of an eye opener as well; only it is a more kinder story you’ve related.
At first reading your question “Do Rin Tin Tin’s still exist in France”? my first thought was. Yep… as long as there is celluloid films and video copies of the movies? There is still a Rin Tin Tin in France.
Obviously that is the wrong answer.
Thank-you for the informative story; I’m sorry but I don’t have the right answer for you.

Famous Bearded Collies In The Movies And TV

While Bearded Collies are known for their roles as show and working dogs, the breed has also been seen in television, movies and catalogs. Some of the credits which can be attributed to the breed include the Shaggy Dog, a 2006 comedy from Walt Disney featuring Tim Allen. Agent Cody Banks is a 2001 film which shows Cody walking through a scene with a Bearded Collie. In September 2001, in an issue of a Lands End catalog a Bearded Collie was featured. Other onscreen credits include Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, which was a television show from the 1960’s; the co-star was a Bearded Collie. Tiger, the dog from the Brady Bunch was also thought to be a Bearded Collie as well.

Most people are used to viewing a German Shepherd and traditional Collies on television and in movies, however, we often forget about the Bearded Collie. We just may have believed the shaggy, lovable dogs were picked because of how they looked. Perhaps on the other hand the breed was chosen because of their dependable nature and natural performing ability. Nobody can deny the lovability of the sweet shaggy dogs that played in some of the most memorable TV and movie roles. Whether in a working capacity or as a family pet, a Bearded Collie is a gentle, sweet natured dog that gets along well with children and other animals.

The gentility of the breed has made the dog a popular choice for both movies and other media outlets. It is obvious by the dog’s appearance that they are quite able to take commands well and perform on cue. In spite of the breed being traced to working origins, the dog seems to possess a natural ability to perform at will when necessary. Not only are Bearded Collies great show dogs, they are also exceptional in the capacity of working dog, family pet, or when used in an acting role.

With past experience being favorable for the Collie, we should expect to see more of these fluffy, even-tempered dogs in future media productions. The dog is a quick study and learns commands easily, making them ideally suited to media exposure on TV or in movies. We don’t often think of the dog when we see them on TV or in the movies, but when a producer is seeking a perfect dog for a television show or movie role, they need look no further than a Bearded Collie.

Before one considers bringing a Collie into their home they should realize the breed requires a regular grooming commitment which must be followed diligently. With a coat of long, shaggy hair, a Collie can track in all sorts of mud, leaves, grass and other debris into the home. The dog also has strict exercise requirements and needs the opportunity to burn off extra energy on a regular basis.
