white german shepherd pink nose What is my white german shepherd mixed with?
I got a white german shepherd out of the news paper. Now that he has gotten older I can see that he can’t be all shepherd, he must be mixed with something but I’m not sure what? When I first got him his nose was black, and now it’s pink.
This 1st picture is what he looked like when I got him
You don’t say how old he is, if he is only about 8 months, many of them don’t have there feathers on the tail or the ruffles around the neck, that comes when they are about 2 years of age.
Many WGSD do get pink noses, unfortunately some breeders continue to breed these faults.
He may have a touch of something, but it is hard to tell from this one photo, any chance of having a side on photo taken so we can check out his body shape better. I agree that his ears are a bit small, and perhaps he is a touch stocky, but he would be at least 3/4 WGSD.
white german shepherd wolf hybrid My German Shepherd got stolen!?
most of u people probbly remember me as the guy that was trying to get the german shepherd ears up, well after they finaly stand up on there own without tape and i was really Happy with my Dog, he went missing with his leesh and coler.
i left him yesterday at around 9:00pm tied to this pole in a Farm that we own thats just out side of the city and i noticed that before we left some guy in a White Van kept Driving passed out gate back and forth, i really didn’t think he would steal anything so i left and i was sure that the guard that we hired will not let anything get stolen.
and ironic enough i tied my Wolf Hybrid 1 yera old which is extreme aggressive 100 feet away. anyone know what i can do to get back my Pupy hes only 6 months old and i know the face of the man and if i see him i will seriusly kick the fucking shit out of him.
THAT’S IS SO LOW !! TO STEAL YOUR PUPPY SO SORRY FOR YOU- TRY PUTTING AN AD OUT WITH PIC OF DOG IN THE AREA IT WAS TAKING FROM- INCLUDE A SMALL REWARD-AS YOULL GET MORE REPLIES LIKE THAT -HOPE SOMEONE LEADS YOU TO THAT MAN- IF SO TAKE THE AGGRESSIVE DOG WITH YOU AND DEMAND YOUR PUP BACK -SHOW WHOEVER BRINGS HIM HOW HE COMES RUNNING AN KISSING YOU- THEY WILL KNOW ITS YOUR DOG-HOPE THE CREEP WHO STOLE HIM SHOWS UP AN UR AGRESSIVE DOG BITES HIS DICK OFF!! PRAYING YOU GET UR DOG BACK!

white german shepherd yellow lab mix Labrador retriver apartment?
Can a lab be on it’s own for up to 7 hours a day? If not, no big deal, doggier daycare is what I was planning. Also, how much do they shed? I have a pound puppy. Her mom was a german shepherd mix. We think she has some lab in her, because she has webbed feet, her nose is half pink half black, and her coat is white and yellow. Do you think they shed more or less than my current pup? Also, is hard food better for dogs? I know as a puppy it’s better to get wet food but I don’t plan on getting a puppy so that’s not an issue. I heard it strengths there teeth and gums and scraps off plaque. Is that true? Will a lab do okay in an apartment if I sign her up for doggie daycare?
An adult will be fine on its own for 7 hours. I would highly recommend crating for that time period you are not home though. My lab sheds A LOT. I brush daily and sweep the hardwood floors every other day. Hard to say how much your dog will shed compared to a lab. Dry food is better for dogs, you are right about the teeth.
I had a lab and a lab mix in an apartment for a year (and just the lab mix in a town house with no yard prior to that.) You can make it work, but don’t under estimate how much work it will be on your part. Plan for at least 2 hours of vigorous exercise every day with your dog.
white german shepherd life span Whats your favorite breeds? Would you consider owning them?
For example my favorite breeds are the-
Chihuahua
Hungarian Vizsla
Australian Shepherd
White German Shepherd
Weimaraner
English Bulldog
Well the first breed i own already & will always, LOVE the breed. The second breed i hope to own in a few years & do conformation and agility with.
As well as the third breed.
I may consider owning the 4th & 5th breed in the future.
As for the last breed there great dogs! on my favorites list. But i do not feel i would want to own one. The English bulldog is such a cute little breed but has a too short of a life-span & health problems for me.
Other breeds i find beautiful and wonderful are the Afghan hounds, St Barnard’s, Mastiffs, Newfies etc. But there too big for me and the Afghan has to much of a coat for my wiliness to care for.
What are your favorite breeds, would you consider owning them? Why or why not?
Thank you.
My favourite breed is the Samoyed.
Next favourites (in no particular order) are:
French Mastiff
Great Dane
Old English Sheepdog
Greyhound
Pit Bull
Leonberger
Dalmatian
Siberian Husky
Doberman
And more, I just can’t think of them all now
Anyway, most of these breeds I will just admire from afar. I love them all, but asides from the fact I can’t see myself owning so many dogs, my heart breed is the Samoyed, and as long as I have one of them in my life I’ll be happy.
I want to always have a Samoyed. I fell in love with the breed many years ago and when we got one, when I was 9, I was locked into an incredible bond with such an incredible dog. Lui is now 9, and whilst I’m currently living away from home, having just started university, I plan on visiting home a lot to see him and want to have him live with me once I finish uni, as well as hopefully get another Samoyed.
French Mastiffs are a breed I recently fell in love with, and they are definitely a breed I would strongly consider owning. This is the same for a Pit Bull (which I would ideally get from a shelter) and also a Greyhound (a retired racer, ideally).
The rest of the breeds will, like I said, most likely be admired from afar. Whilst I love the breeds very much, and asides from the fact that would mean a lot of dogs, they’re not really breeds I “feel” for, if that makes sense. Whilst they are beautiful, stunning breeds with great personalities they are not breeds I’ve really fell in love with.
white german shepherd stud service What happens when a male black german shepherd mates with a female white german shepherd.?
I have this question because i wan’t stud service done on my white german shepherd and i wondewr if she mates with a black german shepherd. Will the puppies by black and white?
“~Chalbri~-etc”:
Your comments are true, but at no stage do you attempt to actually answer the QUESTION.
“Mom of Three”:
The dominant M^ that produces merle is not part of the GSD gene pool.
Too many GSDs have a chest blaze, but the only DNA-proven GSD line with Collie-like markings on face-&-neck are Frankie von Phenom and about half her descendants (only half because it is the effect of a dominant that is lethal when homozygous) – and that so-called “Panda” marking is banned in GSDs because of the amount of white it contains. All other splash-marked GSDs are assumed to be cross-breeds, although I hear tales of the odd line that carries the s^p allele for piebald spotting. Either way, those with more white than an inconspicuous chest spot and maybe some white toes (but the nails of those toes must be black) have too much white to be acceptable as GSDs
Okay, to “Kevin C”s question:
First thing is that, despite “Victor K”s comment (his awareness of GSD genetics is more freshman than honours at present, but he has a few years ahead in which to get it right.), there will be NO gray pups – (1) eumelanin (the dark pigment in canine coats) is not like the pigments used in paints, and (2) the dominant G^ for gray coats is not present in the GSD gene pool.
Next thing is to appreciate how the self-black GSD and the self-white pooches are created, so that you understand why there will be no black-&-white pups, either..
In GSDs, all actual self-colours (whether black or liver or blue; white is not a colour, it is a LACK of colour) are set by the recessive pairing a^ a^ in the Agouti Pattern series. The default colour from a^ a^ is self-black, but a pair of the recessive modifier b^ in the Black-brown series will convert that to liver; a pair of the recessive modifier d^ in the Dilute series will convert the black to the blue-gray referred to as blue. If the pup inherits both the b^ b^ and the d^ d^ their combined effect is a creamy-blue known as Isabella. (A pair of the b^ and/or d^ will also affect the dark area of dogs whose Agouti genes produce sable or saddle or bi-colour.)
In all self-white breeds so far DNA tested the recessive pairing e^ e^ is present. But its effect is not to produce self-white, just to prevent eumelanin (dark pigment) from being formed by the hair follicles – something else has to block the phaeomelanin (tan pigment). However, as the factors for self-white behave as though they were a simple recessive, we can be sure that the second gene involved must be on the same chromosome as the e^, and located VERY close to it. My guess is that it will turn out to be the Int^ postulated by Iljin about 70 years ago, his explanation for why the phaeomelanin (tan pigment) gets degraded to pale yellow or chalky white; but if its DNA has already been located the news has yet to reach me.
So the situation, were you unwise enough to continue with your foolish plan, is that you would be mating a self-black (thereby proven to be a^ a^ plus B^ ?^ plus D ?^ plus E^m ?^ plus ?^ ?^) to a self-white (thereby proven to be ?^ ?^ plus ?^ ?^ plus ?^ ?^ plus e^ e^ plus Int^ ?^).
(PS: That E^m could be an E, but that is very unlikely in our breed.)
The ?^s are where we have no evidence from your information as to which allele of that series is present to make up the pair of alleles that every individual inherits in every gene location except those on just the X chromosome. To work it out just remember that the series I am mentioning are A for Agouti, B for Black-brown, D for Dilute, E for Extension, and Int for Iljin’s Intensity series. There are other colour series (you’ll find all the known ones in the Files section of http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_GSD_Source/ but will need to become an instant-member, as Yahoo doesn’t let me make that section “Public access”) but they have no significant effect in your case.
You would find a Punnett Square too complicated – it is a marvellous tool for showing the possibilities from a single autosomal character where the genotype for that character is known for both parents, usable for the interaction of 2 simple autosomal characters, but after that you start to need a multidimensional “page” to draw on!
In this case, we have no idea what the self-white possesses in the Agouti series, but a high percentage of self-whites are genetically sables, so it is highly probable that she is A^w a^t (wolf-sable + saddle), very possible that she is a^t a^t. It is possible but unlikely that she is A^w a^ or a^t a^ – unlikely because people who understand genetics do NOT want the genes from a self-white degrading the depth & shine of the self-black’s all-over darkness, and those who understand genetics don’t want the all-over spread of eumelanin (dark pigment) making it harder for the e^ e^ to have its epistatic effect of blocking the eumalin from being formed (most whites have some “badger markings).
What it boils down to is that if the self-black is E^m e^ half the pups ( ± whatever random chance “decides” during the moments of fertilisation) will be self-white, about half won’t. If the self-black is the E^m E^m that is preferred, all the pups won’t be self-whites.
Either way, of the pups that are not self-white, about half are likely to be sables (assuming that the dam carries just one A^w) with the others probably being saddles. But they could ALL be saddles, or about half could be self-blacks. But if one parent is a self-black it is impossible to get all 3 of sables, saddles and self-blacks in the same litter, just any 2 of those.
And regardless of their displayed colours, ALL the pups will be carriers of an a^ for self-colour from dad and an e^ for no-black from mum, plus are almost certain to have an Int^ or an int^ from mum.
The effect of that last gene will be that all the non-whites will have poor tans – from chalky”silver” to a washed-out creamy-fawn. If the sire is carrying an e^, then about half the coloured pups will be “dirty yella dawgs” with no black – maybe when they’re born, but definitely by the time they are about 2½ years old.
To complicate it:
Many of the people who aim to produce pet-level self-whites are very happy to use carriers of liver or blue – either reduces the density of the black so can be regarded as making the epistasis (in this case, blocking of eumalin) easier.
Although the DogSport fanciers of blacks would avoid carriers of liver & blue, again, pet-level BYBs might include them. So it is possible that the non-whites might be blue or liver instead of black where black should be in whatever their Agouti pattern is.
The possibilities are predictable (always allowing for random chance when the pairing at a locus is not homozygous), but you haven’t given us enough evidence as to what alleles each parent is likely to possess, apart from the series that produced the black in one case, the white in the other case, for ‘us’ to work out the probabilities.
But all genuine GSD breeders know that the black-to-white mating is a bad idea on colour grounds.
In addition to the inadvisability of muddling those two sets of coat-colour together, I say your plan is unwise because I am certain that your bit.ch is not of breeding quality.
If she were, you would be asking her breeder, not asking here where a high proportion of the so-called answers come from know-it-all kids pretending to be adult & expert.
If the stud you had in mind was of breeding quality, you would be asking HIS owner or his breeder.
But in case I’m wrong about your bit.ch and that stud:
The ultimate proof of a GSD being of breeding quality is possessing a Breed Survey report (BS.Cl. in English, KKl. in German). No self-white is eligible for that, as all whites and blues and livers are disqualified in FCI#166: http://www.fci.be/uploaded_files/166A1991_en.doc which is the ONLY GSD Standard approved by the WUSV (World Union of GSD Clubs, which has at least one seat-&-vote for every GSD nation and meets in conjunction with each SiegerSchau to sort out GSD issues).
If you live anywhere except Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, the USofA there is a possibility that – IF your bit.ch has a 6 generation pedigree where EVERY ancestor is a KC-registered self-white – you might manage to have her re-registered as a Berger Blanc Suisse (see http://www.fci.be/uploaded_files/347a2002_en.doc ), but in those 5 countries no breed can be recognised that is based on what is a fault in its parent breed. In Australia and Germany your white GSD couldn’t even get registered as a GSD – they take the idea of a “disqualification” seriously, there.
But whatever the breed, the MINIMUM requirements for proving a medium-sized pooch breed-worthy are:
(1) recorded on the Breed Register without any limitations
(2) possesses official certificates for both hips & elbows
(3) possesses show certificates (placings or Excellent gradings) to prove that it looks typical of its breed.
Highly desirable are:
(4) a character certificate – BH or CGC
(5) a training qualification – for a GSD the ideal is HGH or SchH1, but all training qualifications prove that at least the pooch is highly willing to take notice of what its owner wants.
Sadly, almost every KC cares only whether both parents are in the same Breed Register – no checking on character or conformation or health or size or trainability…
Unless your bit.ch measures up, and so does the stud you choose to compensate for her flaws, forget about breeding from her.
And I haven’t even touched on the financial risks every breeder faces. Nor the time wasted checking up on liars who claim – sometimes even believe – that they are God’s gift to dog breeders but have no fences, no income, no intention of attending weekly training classes, just
white german shepherd skin problems Puppy Problems. Please Help.?
Hi,
I have a 7 week old pure bred German Shepherd pedigree when I take her on walks around my house she just chews on the lead clip thing or the lead. It makes it hard for me to walk her she has a pig ear that she chew on, a flexible bone and a stuffed toy. How can I stop her from doing this so I can take her on walks and she wont stop and start biting the lead. When I walk her she also tries to bite my leg and. When she does that Is top and yelp because that is what someone told me to do when she does that(on Yahoo Answers) What can I do?
Any Good Suggestions?
Also when I walk her on her lead she stops and even when Ic all her she doesn’t come sometimes. How can I stop this.
Another question I have is that on her fur on her back she has white things what could these be we have given her the flea drops on her skin but that may not have worked she is going to the vet tomorrow but does anyone have a clue?
Thank you for your time.
Sorry about all the questions.
You have to rememb er she is ONLY 7 weeks old. She’s still a baby, and truthfully she shouldn’t have been taken away from her littermates before 8 weeks of age. She also shouldn’t be going on long walks as this will cause hip problems, and she’s not properly vaccinated yet. About the leash that is a dominant thing letting you know that she’ walking you and your not walking her. Take it out of her mouth and make a stern no or stern ah sound. It is also probably prey drive. German Shepherds have a lot of prey drive and that is why they bite things that are movine ie the leash and your feet and legs. She will grow out of this in a couple of weeks, maybe a month or so, but you need to tell her no firmly when she does this. Hope I’ve helped.
white german shepherd deafness is a white german shepherd a great dog?
ae the other breeders better or are they same and does WGS have deafness problem like any other white dog.is it true
by the look of the different questions you have asked recently, it sounds to me like you are very interested in getting a white GSD. I personally own a black and tan, but my sister-in-law owned a white GSD (Nugget) she lived to be 14 yrs old and was the sweetest dog! the only health issues that she faced in her life was mild hip dysplasia and allergies. which were controlled with medication. I don’t know about the deafness, since she was just fine and could hear a jet high in the air before anyone saw it…lol
I would recommend a GSD whether it was white or any color for that matter. they possess some wonderful traits and are easily trained, loyal, intelligent and just plain old wonderful family dogs! to some who answered that they aren’t that great with kids…I beg to differ on that! look at the pic by my name…that was my then 5 month old (kirby) in a down stay for 2 hours while my youngest son decided to use him for a pillow outside on a nap! he refused to move until my son woke up. as with all dogs training them to be with kids is a must so they know their boundaries. I spent many hours training him to be the wonderful dog he is now, and it was worth every second I put into him. he has even saved my youngest from running out in the road by herding him back to me! I couldn’t ask for a more loyal companion for my family!
