German Shepherd Dog Training

sloped backs on german shepherd dogs?

Why are their backs so sloped!! Is it just because their hind leg is in a position more out back? but if they put it more inwards they back is straighter? here is an example of a sloped back shepherd.
as you can see his hind right leg, if he brings that in will his back look straighter? is he just in that position because he is trained to “pose” in that position?

http://www.monroehaus.com/images/andrjuscha-v-13.jpg

why are they like that?

Does anyone know of a breeder that has west german bloodlines only without an exaggerated sloped back? I want him to look like this dog named Kaine. If you go on you tube her channel is hunkymonkeykaine (her breeder doesn’t breed anymore, but he has a straight back and he is beautiful!!)

i just don’t understand why a dog has to have such a sloped back?
I have been waiting my whole life for a german shepherd! I just want him to be my dream dog.

The dog in question is standing with one hind leg back because that is the way German shepherd dogs in the show ring are required to be stacked so they may be judged on their conformation. If you take a look at breeder websites or pictures of GSDs in the show ring, you will see that they are all stacked in a similar manner. It gives, some say, an image of an alert dog, ready to “spring into action”.

As mentioned, while the German shepherd does indeed possess a sloped back in a stacked position, and often times to the extreme in some lines, it actually does have a great deal to do with the WAY the dog is stacked. I have seen a German show line male in a UKC show and a SV show. Once he is stacked by his owner/handler in a way that made him appear elongated and sloped, and then he is stacked by a German judge, who made him look a bit like a hyena, with a roached (or “banana”) back. However, I have also seen the same dog training for Schutzhund and out of the show ring. His back is as straight as any’s and he’s a healthy, working dog, not at all “crippled”, as some may enjoy labeling all dogs in the show ring.

People can stretch out a dog, and even make them appear to be a “hock walker” or make them appear extremely roached or sloped. Believe it or not, it appeals to some judges in the show ring. The interpretation of the GSD breed standard has indeed gotten to a point where extremes seemed to be favored too often in the show ring, and some breeders, who may not be labeled as reputable, have chosen to cater to that and breed GSDs with an excessively sloped (or roached) back. After all, you most likely cannot stack a Rottweiler the same way you see some GSDs stacked, no matter how you position the dog.

The supposed purpose behind the “sloped back” is so the German shepherd dog may possess a far reaching, flying gait, in order to herd sheep all day. Unfortunately, that is only the purpose given by some judges and breeders, and in my opinion, not the true reason behind the sloped back, but more of an excuse. After all, herding dogs do not gait all day around the sheep, and a herding dog’s gait is more natural, even at that.

So while some dogs can be stacked in a particular way to make them appear more extreme than they truly are, others are, indeed, bred to have such an appearance to appeal to the judges in the show ring.

However, you will be able to find some excellent dogs among the West German show lines and American show lines that DO breed dogs with a stable temperament and sound structure. I do not believe any true reputable breeder would breed weak nerved dogs and favor the extremes. What is important is finding a reputable breeder you like and trust. There are those among every line of every breed whom are poor breeders, even if they show their dogs.

For example, take this dog. East German working lines, Ch. Galant z Pohranicni Straze SVV3. A z Pohranicni Straze dog, and standing stud at z Eurosportu. (http://www.eurosportk9.com/galant.asp# )

Here is a picture of him stacked.

http://www.eurosportk9.com/ourdogs/galant/galant30.jpg

He, too, seems to appear to have a sloping back when stacked in this particular way, and some may look at this in distaste.

However, here is the same dog

http://www.eurosportk9.com/ourdogs/galant/galant33.jpg

http://www.eurosportk9.com/ourdogs/galant/galant14.jpg

And when he is standing straight, he looses that sloped look and you can see he’s far from crippled.

If you are looking for West German show lines, then I’d like to add that it’s my personal belief that the Kirschental are perhaps one of the closest there is to the working German show line. Excellent dogs that are involved in SchH and HGH. They are a popular kennel, and you probably won’t have trouble finding kennels with Kirschental dogs among their breeding stock.

Or, if when you say, “west german bloodlines” you are referring to West German working lines as well, then I suggest you also look there. The West German working lines, you will find, are not bred with concerns for conformation first and instead, working ability. While you most likely won’t find any dogs there accused of having a sloped or roached back, some think they are “too much dog” for a person to own. I personally own two, one of which is a companion only dog, and find that they suit my needs for a pet wonderfully, but also respect the fact that there are others who won’t appreciate them for the reasons I do.

Again I say what is important for you is figuring out what you want in a German shepherd dog, and researching the breeders as well as bloodlines that you personally prefer, and then choosing a dog or breeder.

German Shepherd Training Tips

When looking for German shepherd training tips, you will surely be able to find a lot. You just need to remember that not everything will be effective though. This is due to the fact that regardless of being called “German shepherds” in general, each dog will still differ in terms of individual behaviors and inclinations.

Know that the correct training will have to start even before you lay your hands on the first training task at hand. So, do you have any idea how to approach the problem properly?  If not, then there will be various avenues for help that you will be able to count on.

If you are new to the concept, it’s understandable that you will have certain questions that need to get answered first. Questions like how you start the training process or how to set the proper paces in terms of training will need to be answered first in order to guarantee affectivity in training as well as insure success.

One way that you will be able to easily establish long lasting good relationship with your pet is through positive reinforcement. Showing your dog that good deed will never go unrewarded is a good way to start the relationship in a right footing. Remember that dogs are intelligent  creatures and positive reinforcement will help them establish proper behavior easily thus offering less resistance and making things easier for you.

Another technique that will help in making your training sessions more productive will be through the incorporation of fun and enjoyment. Remember that your German shepherd (or almost any breed of dog for that matter) is eager to please their masters and making the exercise more enjoyable will help smoothen out things greatly. Through this method you will find that incorporating activities into the various exercise will not only provide your dog with faster access learning but will also make the activity more entertaining and worthwhile.

Aside from what is mentioned above you will find more German shepherd training tips though informational portals as well as ebooks online. One site that has all of the techniques that you might be looking for would be German Shepherd Training Tips, so be sure to check it out when looking for additional tips and techniques.

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 PUPPY,, WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND WHERE?

Wanting a German Shepherd puppy.. Prefer the look of the white ones or a golden cream.. have 4 kids so need to be good with kids but also protective to guard home. I live in colorado.. where can i get answers about good blood lines and what to look for in a breeder. what are the differences in whites compared to other color GSD’s Male< Female temperament and health ??????????????
kids are ages 6 - 11

white ones are normally deaf , it a comon problem in WHITES
look out for the hocks , the lower rear part of the legs , as many gsd have hock problems, all to do with the show ppl and the breed standered says something about sloping rear
that twaddle , get one from a working breed line , what is level and square at the back
also look for hip displasia score . and elbows < hock>
A show dog will look nothing like a gsd from a working background but more than likly be quiet a bit larger than a typial show gsd
gsd DO suffer from ear problems but that no biggie normally just a build up in wax ,
a sable< normally working dogs > is a rare colour and quiet sought after
if you like the white or cream ones, better maybe you be better going for a belgian shepherd ,or dutch shepherd a lilbit smaller , but look the same
have a look at the malinois

http://www.akc.org/breeds/belgian_malinois/

i just looked on the akc , site and saw no dutch shepherds
but actually saw they come under dutch sheep dogs , knows in europe as Groenendael’s
all black shepherds

german shepherd kraftwerk
Kraftwerk K9 German Shepherds. I’ve heard some horror stories. But what about any good testimonials?

I’ve heard a bunch of problems, mainly with customer service. But while there may be issues with customer service, are their problems any worse off than other breeders? They have huge facilities and a quite a few dams. So are these problems just exacerbated by the fact that they have more to go around? Their videos are pretty convincing…

Wow, that other answerer knows nothing at all about working titled shutzhund GSDs…

I don’t have any experience with Kraftwerk, but here is a discussion about the kennel on a leading working dog discussion board: http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/212039/page/0/fpart/1 The concensus seems to be that the dogs are fine, but the business practices are questionable.

I’d prefer to buy from a local breeder who I could count on for support if necessary.

How much should a well bred Poodle cost? German Shepherd? Dalmatian?

I have a good idea, I’ve had poodles my whole life.

Just curious. I think a lot of people are under a misconception on the price of a wellbred dog.

So I’ll leave it to the experts to answer this
Its not so much about the listed breeds but how much a well bred dog from a reputable breeder should cost.

I just listed those breeds as an example
ADD: I’m not looking for a dog. I’m happy with my minature poodle and rescued Mix

But I am trying to help out a friend figure this out
I just knew someone who bought a poodle a few years ago for 1400 and claimed it to be well bred.

After seeing the dog later and hearing of all the health problems I noticed it was a bred down (4lbs) not so well bred dog.

But she thought she was getting a wellbred dog?

How do you tell if you are getting a wellbred dog and dealing with a reputable breeder?

contact the parent clubs

GSD

http://www.akc.org/breeds/german_shepherd_dog/

Poodle

http://www.akc.org/breeds/poodle/index.cfm

It varies breed to breed, breeder to breeder.

ADD: haha oh. Well it depends on Pet-Quality or show quality. The rarity of the breed, etc. Breeders of common dogs lower their prices to make them lower than the BYBs sometimes. If you buy ther dog to show it would be more expensive than buying it as a pet. I know started dogs are like 1000. Most breeders dont charge too much, but i only look at working siberian husky sites. Sorry I really couldnt say, Ive never bought a dog before.

I guess I would still say contact the parent club

ADD: http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/breeding.html

i think this is a great link for telling BYBs and good breeders apart.

Choosing a Family Pet

When you have kids, they can often drive you crazy by hounding for a dog or a cat. Some parents are reluctant to give their child a pet due to fear of the animal harming the child being forefront in their minds. There are many dog and cat breeds that you can have in your home that will do really well for you and your family—even with small children. There are, of course, some precautions to make.

First, we will look at dog breeds. There are certain dog breeds that demand respect and kids often don’t have those feelings. Most children do not understand that pulling on the pet’s tail or stroking too roughly can not only harm the animal, but make it resentful of the child. You can of course work with your child to help him develop proper pet-handling behavior, but you should first consider starting out with a pet breed that is best for children. For instance, the following dog breeds are well-known for being especially good with children: St. Bernards, Golden and Labrador Retrievers, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Poodles, Siberian Huskies, and Mastiffs. While you do have to be careful about their size and make sure they are socialized and housetrained, they make wonderful pets. They are very affectionate and tend to exercise care and protectiveness of the children. These dog breeds will also stand up to a certain amount of abuse. If the child pulls on the tail or accidentally falls into them they are more likely to be worried and protective rather than distasteful or aggressive. You do have to teach your kid to be respectful, but generally these dogs as pets will offer a wonderful family addition.

In general, most cats are going to have issues with children. With cats, who are not as easy to train, you will find they tend to nip or bite a child who pulls their ears/tail or hurts them in any way. It is the cat’s way of showing anger. Cats by nature tend to choose one owner. This owner usually showers them with affection and treats them properly. If you do introduce a cat into your household, you should make sure your children are old enough to understand and exercise the proper treatment of it. Typically you want a child no younger than three dealing with any pet, especially cats. At this age the kid is old enough to understand right from wrong and deal with the pain if the cat bites them for a good reason. Some cats you may want in your home include the Abyssinian, American bobtail, American shorthair, Balinese, Birman, Bombay, Burmese, Manx, Persian, and Siberian. Typically you should not have a Siamese cat around children, as they tend to be very moody and are often one who demands respect. When you consider getting a pet for your child, it is important to realize that not all pets are great for a home.

trained german shepherd imports
Do you have a MUTT???? Is so how was s/he during training?

I’ve only ever bought from a breeder, and the German Shepherd I’m getting are being imported from Germany for thousand!!! But that’s to be expected with their history, and the work I need him for.

But as for my experience with mutts they seem to not be training. Just speaking of course about the ones my neighbours or friends have? I do understand that it could be them not training it also.

Just wondering anyone have good training experiences with mutts?

Thanks
It will be 6months old, so it will know its commands in Germany and I’ve already been training her with the dogs at this kennel so I’ll be ready for my two puppies <3 can't wait!
PS_ this is response to "livin life" lol

Its around 3grand but I got a good deal because the kennel owner has history with the kennel in Germany and he's buying under his name and then I'm buying it from him. So I have about 2grand!

only a thousand bucks huh? thats cheap considering its coming all the way from Germany..will it know English commands?
Any dog can go thru training, and train well, not all dogs will catch frizbees. or do agility, but all can be trained to be good dogs, mutts included..I dont believe in name brands(pure breed) except fot show dogs, otherwise its just snobbery.

The Importance of Training German Shepherds

Having just brought a German shepherd puppy home, there are a few things that you need to know about this special four legged friend of yours. These dogs are very unlike all other dogs that you might have come across

They are not only swifter and smarter than the other dogs, but also more feral than their counterparts. Which means that they are more close to their natural ancestors than the other dogs and require extensive training

German shepherd is an unusual breed that follows the alpha traditions of the wolves. The German shepherd breeders say that these dogs believe in the custom of the pack and work in agreement with the principle of the pack

For every pack, there is an alpha dog and a beta dog and the rest of the dogs follow their commands in that order of preference

In order to train your German shepherd puppy in a proper German shepherd way, you will have to claim the position of an alpha dog

This will result in the puppy obeying your command as well as provide an opportunity for you to build a better relationship with him

German shepherd puppies often try to claim the position of the alpha. Therefore, it is advisable to go about the tough way to train them and remind them of their position in the pack

Hence, it is favorable to use the carrot and stick method, which involves appreciating your puppy when he gets things right and also using the lease method to make sure it accepts your authority

This just indicates that you need to be cautious about your training methods and does not mean that you need to be harsh on your dog

During your German shepherd dog training period, it is important to ensure that your little pup gets treated as the beta dog

This is to say that, in your absence, if there are other dogs in the house, you have to make sure that the German shepherd gets to take care of them as the beta dog of the pack

Doing this will make him feel that he is an authoritative position and will also obey your command

Training your puppy right away is advisable as it becomes very difficult to train an adult German shepherd who keeps trying to defy the authority of the alpha of the pack by disobeying repeatedly

german shepherd breed
is the back legs of a german shepherd is vital for the breed description ?

I am planning to get a german shepherd puppy , and all they talk about in the pet shop is the back legs of the puppy I am gonna buy.. is it really that important ?

First of all never buy from a pet shop. There dogs come from puppy mills, the dogs are normally unhealthy and extremely poor specimens of the breed.

To find a reputable GSD breeder you should contract the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, Corresponding Secretary : Sharon Allbright , Po Box 429, Applegate, CA , 95703-0429 . The club’s website is http://www.gsdca.org

The rear and the sloping topline is what gives the GSD its look. Also GSD are very prone to hip dysplasia so you should need to make sure that the parents are certified by the OFA free of hip dysplasia…the ones in the pet shop won’t be. Personally I wouldn’t consider any litter unless the parents had a minimum of passing OFA hips and elbow ratings and current CERF certification. You can confirm the dogs health results at http://www.offa.org .

when do you breed a German shepherd is it around menstruating?

when do you let the male around the bitch

You breed a German Shepherd when you have sufficiently educated yourself on the breed not to have to ask these questions. You need to be familiar with the genetics of your particular bloodline, there are hereditary diseases that breeding stock should be screened against – not all dogs are of breeding quality – ask yourself – why do you want to breed? If the answer is money – then have your dogs fixed. German Shepherds have large litters – lots of puppies to worm and vaccinate – before they go to their owners – then the homes need to be screened – not everyone who will call you for a puppy really needs a dog – a shepherd is a large responsibility – they are intelligent, noble and high energy dogs who deserve to be in the best of homes.

Black pr White German Shepherd breeders in Colorado?

sorry i meant “or” instead of “pr”
Is there anyone that know of any reputable breeder that breeds black or white German Shepherd dogs in Colorado?

No reputable breeder breeds for white GSDs. Its a fault in the breed caused by a recessive gene and isn’t even recognized by the AKC. Not that there’s anything particularly wrong with a white GSD, but if you find a breeder who breeds for that color, they are far from reputable.

How much should i sell my dog for?

Our two year old german shepherd needs to be rehomed because our house is going into forclousre and we are moving in w/my grand parents and they are allgeric to dogs.

We love him and want to charge not to much but not to high,

He is two years old AKC german shepherd fixed and knows german and english basic commands. He was sent to colorado for training he is trained to attack on command and seek items. He is so calm and lounges around the house
He was bought for $1000.00 as a puppy and another $2000.00 in training,.

I am asking $500.00 for him is that to much because he is older now (2 yrs)

Thanks

Give him to a rescue or give him back to the breeder.

German Shepherd Dogs….?

I have four dogs already that are medium sizes. I know GSDs can get bigger. I live in a nicely sized house and have a three acre farm.

I was just wondering what people have to say about GSDs, with their experience. Like what are temeperments like, activity level, grooming and other things?

Also does anyone know of any good breeders in TN? I would get rescue but every rescue dog I have ever brought in challanges my other dogs. I’ve found I have better luck bringing in a puppy so it learns it’s place in the “pack.”

My personal experiences with the German Shepherd Dog have almost all been positive. I’ve grown up around GSDs and also foster for GSRNE (German Shepherd Rescue of New England). A sound German Shepherd makes an excellent companion. An unsound one is a disaster waiting to happen. GSDs are eager and alert. They are bold, cheerful, obedient, and eager to learn. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. German Shepherds have a very strong protective instinct, so they should be extensively socialized to prevent over-guarding when they are an adult. A well bred, well-adjusted, and trained dog is for the most part generally good with other pets and excellent with children in the family. They must be firmly trained in obedience from an early age. It is extremely important to purchase your German Shepherd from a reputable breeder. Nowadays there is an alarming amount of undersocialized and poorly bred GSDs. These poorly bred dogs are timid and skittish and may be prone to fear biting. Make sure to research a puppy’s lineage carefully. To be successful pets, these dogs should be trained and socialized from an early age with a firm and loving hand. Coercive or angry training does not succeed well with these dogs. They are intelligent dogs that need a leader. To be truly happy, the German Shepherd needs a task in life. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. These sports are excellent for both dog and owner and can really build a relationship.

Indiscriminate breeding has lead to hereditary diseases such as hip and elbow dysplasia, (be sure both parents have had their hips certified at least OFA good) blood disorders, digestive problems, epilepsy, chronic eczema, keratitis dwarfism and flea allergies. This is why you need to avoid pet stores and irresponsible GSD breeders.

As for exercise requirements, German Shepherd Dogs love strenuous activity, preferably combined with training of some kind, for these dogs are very intelligent and crave a good challenge. They need to be taken on a daily, brisk, long walk, jog or run alongside you when you bicycle. If under-exercised, this breed can become restless and destructive. A bored and unstimulated dog becomes a huge problem!!! Since you have a large yard I don’t think you’ll have any trouble with exercise.

This breed sheds bits of hair constantly and is a seasonally heavy shedder. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. When I say these dogs shed I mean it!!! You will eat hair, breathe hair, sleep in hair etc. They’re clump shedders. I have a long coat GSD….I’m sure you can imagine what my house looks like LOL

Check out this website to hopefully find a breeder near you. Make sure to contact a responsible breeder!!! But for now take a look. We can go over how to tell if a breeder is “responsible” or not later.

I think I answered all the parts of your question. If I can help more please let me know. Good Luck!!! GSDs are great dogs. I have to warn you though. Once you fall in love with a good GSD there’s no turning back!!!

ADD: Research is key when finding a good breeder. Don’t settle for the first person with GSD puppies. Ask around. Do your research!!! Here is a breeder in TN. Here’s a test. Determine if they are a “responsible” facility……

white german shepherd breeders
Does anyone know of a black/white german shepherd breeder around DE?

Brenda Hasbargen of Maryland (an area of Maryland about 1/2 hour away from Delaware breeds black GSD’s. She is a very reputable breeder and does not take selling her dogs lightly. Their hips, eyes, etc. are checked and the odds of having any other health issues with her pups are slim to none. To contact her, call the Talbot County Kennel Club at 410-820-1229. Good luck
