Can a german shepherd and a chihuahua be friends?
I have a chihuahua named Maya and I want to get a german shepherd because I have always wanted one. We already have one picked out but I am still thinking about it. I am scared that the german shepherd, when it gets older and bigger if it will attack maya.I dont know what to do. Please help.
First off, check what type of breeding you’re getting your GSD from before you buy-that in of itself is CRUCIAL. There are West German show lines, West German working lines, DDR(East German working), Czech/Slovakian working lines and American CH lines. The higher the prey drive, the higher the potential for problems later. The working lines are definitely higher drive and have stronger prey drives, which could lead to problems. This may require some time getting educated in the German Shepherd breed as a whole, which I strongly suggest if you’re really wanting to buy a puppy.
My suggestion would be to go with a breeding that produces a mild drive(WGR show lines and/or American CH lines). Ask about the litter’s parents and their reaction to cats and other small animals(and what kind of bloodlines they have). If the parents are ok with smaller animals, then you have a greater chance of getting a pup who is ok also. We personally raise our pups with our very docile resident male cat from the time they’re born so they learn to love him, not wanna hurt him.
That should help you avoid problems before you buy. Generally, if a puppy is raised with a small dog/animal, they will learn to respect that animal. Getting the opposite gender of what your Chi is would be wise, too. I would be equally concerned not to allow the Chi to bite/hurt/harrass the GSD, either! Best wishes!
why does my German shepherd keep marking territories in house?
my german shepherd keeps marking territories in the house. also we have turned our shed into what looks like a barn for my three dogs with wood shavings and hay to make it comfy for my three german shepherds all male and the one in question has started weeing in there.
It’s obvious – YOU aren’t the alpha, and that dog is an uppity beta who wants to be the alpha. He is “labelling” aka marking everything that is his. I doubt he’d accept training to use one of those label-makers used in supermarkets, so you have these choices:
(1) Regain the status of alpha.
(2) Never bring HIM inside.
(3) Have only one male on the property.
He probably started doing it either almost-to-the-day when he turned 10 months old, or (if he is the senior dog) the day you brought the second dog home.
Some people simply CANNOT share. Some dogs are the same way. The less owner-training a dog gets the more likely that his ancestral canine-instincts will emerge.
How do you regain alpha status?
By earning it – lots of training, total consistency, lots of interesting things that only YOU can provide – that includes the supply of food, but ought not be restricted to it. And effective reprimands each time he scent marks in your presence – you can do nothing about what he does out of your presence.
