Is there any justification for this type of behavior?

A white German Shepherd was found in the river near where I live. It had a concrete block tied to it and the story was on the news last night. It is heartbreaking to see that people can be so callous and uncaring about animals but at the same time it was good to see that so many people in my area are enraged by this act and won’t rest until the culprit is found.

Here’s a link if you really want to watch the newscast.:

It is simple, some humans lack souls, or conscious or whatever you want to call it.

Some would call it mental illness, but that is nothing but a cop-out

German Shepherd Corgie mix Snaps Randomly.?

My pup Buddy is about 8 months old. Ive moved into my mothers house and my little brother reached for Buddy’s toy and he snapped at him. They had been playing on the floor together for a good 10 minutes before this happened. Tonight we were on a walk and a neighbor started petting him, then all of a sudden he snapped at her. Hes never actually bitten anyone. It’s Random, hes really good most of the time then out of the blue he’ll snap. I rescued him when he was about 4 months old. The last thing i want to do is to take him back to the shelter. Any Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Please don’t take him back to the shelter! Spend a little money and lots of time, and work through this with him.

Your dog has hit the age of unpredictability where he is a typical teenager: moody and perhaps becoming aware of new things that are frightening him, only because he is maturing. If he is not neutered, do it immediately. German Shepherds seem to like consistency, so he may be still adjusting to the move. It does sound as though he may be exhibiting some resource guarding. He hasn’t had to share toys or you before you moved, but now someone reached for his toy, and then a neighbor was moving in on you! He feels he has to protect both. You need to take a positive approach and manage things immediately so no one gets hurt, Then, as quick as you can, contact a behaviorist or trainer for help.

Begin working on some positive reinforcement with him. Click and treat so there will be good things for him to think about. Have you been to dog training classes? They are the best way to help you through some of these typical problems. Most dogs have issues of some sort, and your’s may seem quite easy compared to other people’s! I would recommend you enroll him in a class immediately. Instructors will help you understand his behavior and how to address it. Look for someone who is affiliated with the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers), as they will use behavior modification with no physical aversives. Good luck.

The Continuation: Famous People and their PAWpular Dogs – Presidential Pets

This is the continuation of first part of the Famous People and their Pawpular Dogs featuring the Presidential Pets.  Most of the US presidents are pooch fans so now it’s time to meet more of these pets, to know their breeds and know their names.

Calvin Coolidge had a number of dogs as compared to other presidents.  He owned various breeds and gave them cute names.  He had White Collies named Rob Roy and Prudence Prim and he also had a pair of Chow Chows named Tiny Tim and Blackberry.  He also had a couple of Collies which he called Ruby Rouch and Bessie.  Coolidge also loved terriers so he took care of Peter Pan, a Terrier and Paul Pry, an Airedale Terrier.  He had four more pooches known as Calamity Jane, a Shetland Sheepdog; Boston Beans, a Bulldog; King Cole, a German Shepherd; and Palo Alto, a Bird Dog.

These two next former presidents were also big dog fans.  First up is Herbert Hoover who was reported to have had nine dogs of different breeds.  He owned King Tut (Belgian Shepherd), Pat (German Shepherd), Big Ben and Sonnie (Fox Terriers), Glen (Scotch Collie), Yukonan (Eskimo dog), Patrick (Irish Wolfhound), Eaglehurst Gillette (Setter) and Weejie (Norwegian Elkhound).  Next is one of the most popular presidents in US history, Franklin D. Roosevelt.  He had seven four-pawed friends namely Fala (Scottish Terrier), Majora (German Shepherd), Meggie (Scottish Terrier), Winks (Llewellyn Setter), Tiny (Old English Sheepdog), President (Great Dane), and Blaze (Bullmastiff).

Next in line are Harry S. Truman who had two canine friends,  Feller (Cocker Spaniel) and Mike (Irish Terrier); and Dwight Eisenhower who had a Weimaraner called Heidi.  Like the first three presidents mentioned above, John F. Kennedy had a long line of pets too which are mostly dogs.  He had Gaullie (Poodle), Pushinka (mutt), Charlie (Welsh Terrier).  Pushinka and Charlie had four children called Butterfly, White Tips, Blackie, and Streaker.  JFK had three more dogs, Shannon (Irish Cocker Spaniel), Wolf (mutt), and Clipper (German Shepherd).

Moreover, Lyndon Johnson was a beagle lover.  He had four beagles which he fondly called, Him, Her, Edgar and Freckles.  He also had Blanco (White Collie) and Yuki (mongrel). Richard Nixon had four dogs, Vicki (Poodle), Pasha (Terrier), King Timahoe (Irish Setter), and Checkers (Cocker Spaniel) who had a major role in his electoral career.  Gerald Ford had a Golden Retriever called Liberty who then had a pup which he called Misty.  Jimmy Carter was reported to have had Grits (Border Collie) and Lewis Brown (Afghan Hound).

Ronald Reagan had a collection of dogs too. He owned Lucky (Bouvier des Flandres), Rex (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), Victory (Golden Retriever), Peggy (Irish Setter), Taca (Siberian Husky), and Fuzzy (Belgian Sheepdog).  On the other hand, George H.W. Bush only had one dog, Millie (Springer Spaniel) who just then had puppies.  Same as Bush, Bill Clinton also had one pooch, Buddy, a Chocolate Labrador Retriever.  Unlike his father, George W. Bush had three dogs, two Scottish Terriers named Barney and Miss Beazley, and an English Springer Spaniel named Spot Fetcher.  Lastly, the current president Barack Obama owns Bo, a Portuegese water dog, popularly known as the First Dog of the United States.

Now, we’ve met the presidential dogs.  It’s nice to know that despite their busy schedule in running a nation, these presidents are still able to take time in giving petsafe care to their pets.

Does anyone have a picture of a German Shepherd like this?

My 10 1/2 week old female puppy is a GSD mix puppy. Her mom was a big mutt but definitely has shepherd in her. She was a stray so the father is unknown but I’m guessing that her dad was a purebred GSD or a mix because my puppy looks almost like a purebred (except her fur which is kind of wavy but short)

My question is: Does anyone have a picture of a GSD that is all black with tan paws, tan chest, tan under the tail and tan cheeks, but no other tan other than that? I just wonder if there are GSD’s like that?

Also any tips on raising a German Shepherd?

She looks just like this, but not tan on her face and her only one ear is up.

http://www.j-marshepherds.com/news/images/DSC00165.jpg

Okay here we go this is her, but her ear has stood up and GSD features have become more prominant:

this is her mom actually

Oh wow – what a cutie!
And she does look like a purebred GSD.
An obedience training class and a good amount of exercise is probably all she needs to get her on the right track behavior-wise.
Keep in mind all dogs are a pain in the butt from about 8 months to about 18 months, so if you get her well trained by 8 months, she’ll be easier to take during the obnoxious stage.
Best of luck!

London pest control back in the news

Pest control in London has been making lots of headlines in recent months, with much discussion of the rights and wrongs around effective pest control. London pensioner Pamela Rowe was outraged when she discovered that her beloved dog had been killed by two rogue pest control officers in London. Pest control officers Terrance Webb, 28, and Mark Page, 35, cruelly baited pieces of bread with a deadly insecticide so they could ‘watch crows die’ around Alexandra Lake on Wanstead Flats, London. Pest control was the last thing on their minds, however: as a result of their actions, almost 90 harmless wild birds died, as well as Mrs Rowe’s German shepherd setter cross, Russett, her companion for five years.

Webb and Page were sentenced to four months in prison and fined £7,000 in October. They had been overheard by colleagues bragging about the birds they had killed and how they would return the next day. The two were tried at Southwark Crown Court, London. ‘Pest control is a serious business,’ says pest control expert Tony Halliday, of Bypest. ‘Poisons such as Ficam W, which was used in this terrible crime, are extremely dangerous and should only be used by pest control experts. It’s a great shame that two pest control officers, one of whom is a dog owner, should let themselves and the pest control London industry down in this way.’

Also in October, a quiet cul-de-sac was in uproar when residents were outraged at the chosen methods of pest control. London district Roehampton had been prey to foxes fouling paths and digging holes in gardens, so local residents contacted a local property management company. They responded by asking pest control marksmen to shoot and kill up to ten foxes with live ammunition. Some observers maintain that animal rights campaigners hijacked the situation in order to mount a protest.

‘Because foxes are seen as cuddly and cute as they are portrayed in the media and books then obviously people’s feelings are stronger against anything being done,’ commented wildlife manager Bruce Lindsay-Smith. ‘You can’t kill foxes without using live ammunition, just as you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.’ However, it seems people find it difficult to deal with such a brutal method of pest control. London may be full of foxes, but hearing shots ring out in the night is something few homeowners want.

City dwellers maintain that foxes are a real problem as they become more and more bold, digging up bulbs in gardens and ripping open bin bags to find food. But animal rights campaigners claim that shooting foxes is a waste of time, since another fox will simply move into the territory vacated by the animal that has been killed. It seems that when it comes to fox pest control, London is facing some hard choices.

Even the Queen herself isn’t immune to problems with pest control. London pest experts were called in to Buckingham Palace in October when staff reported seeing rats around the palace kitchens. The problem first came to light while the monarch was holidaying at Balmoral, and traps have now been set to capture the rats before any damage is done. Staff believe that warm weather and longer opening hours for state rooms may be behind the problem.

Is A German Shepherd Worth It?

I am getting a German Shepherd puppy on Saturday.

I want to make sure its the right dog for me, I am looking for a protective, active, fit dog. The kind of dog you would take a bullit for, and the dog would do the same for you. The kind of dog that is the everything dog, will hike a mountain with you, swim a river with you, and take a nap with you.

Can somebody please confirm that this is the right dog I am thinking of.

And I want a black and tan female shepherd, with the saddle back pattern. How can I tell when I see the puppies.

and yes for those of you who are worried, this is a breeder recomended by the GSD parent club.

Great dogs but they require lots of work.

We have several on our K-9 Search and Rescue Team. I would prefer to get a real German German Sheppard. The AKC standard for the US has the rear sloping down and this often leads to Hip Dysplasia. The German standard is bigger and has a more straight back.

What would happen if your dog bit someone elses face?

I had a party a couple hours ago, and we had our dog outside. Our house is fenced in, and my dog was tied up. We put up a sign saying beware of dog. A little girl came into my yard to pet my fully grown male german shepherd. When she touched him, he bit her in the face. Is it fair if I get sued?
No, the child was not a guest. The dog was not unsupervised, and he was sleeping in his doghouse.

The outcome is going to be entirely dependent on two things: what the parent does, and the laws in your state.

Yes, it is absolutely fair. Your dog was not supervised, which makes the incident more than likely your fault. It is entirely reasonable to expect a CHILD to attempt to pet a dog. Said child was an invited guest to your property. You will more than likely be on the hook for this.

If it were me, I would profusely apologize to the family, pay the medical bills and pray you don’t lose your dog.

ETA: The sign doesn’t mean anything. It was a child who approached the dog and was bitten. Could the kid even read yet? If she could, do you think it’s reasonable to expect her to notice it or know what it meant? In many states, children under 7 are not deemed to be capable of any reasoning whatsoever. Even if they provoked the dog, it’s not there fault legally.

Do right by the parents by paying any bills they incurred. You are on the hook for them legally anyway, so just offer to pay them and avoid those legal fees.

What happens to your dog is entirely up to your state. If the child receives medical treatment, which she needs if the skin was broken, the bite will be reported. The city and or state will become involved.

ETA: Ok, I thought the child was a kid of one of the party guests.

If the child wandered into your yard and got bitten, you have a much better chance of winning. The dog was behind a fence and that is reasonable care and control from a legal standpoint.

Sorry–your question wasn’t clear to me before you added details.

Brazil – Society & Culture & Religion

The Brazilian culture is without any doubt an extremely diverse Latin American culture. As far as the influences are concerned besides the original indigenous cultures, we should mention Portugal mainly because of the very strong colonial ties with the Portuguese Empire from which Brazil got the language, Catholic religion, the legal system and other cultural traditions. Brazil’s culture derives not only from other European influences but also from some South American, African and also Asian cultures. As you can see, the Brazilian culture is a mix of a variety of cultures spread all over the world.

Brazilians have natural affectionate human warmth, like nothing you have seen before and most of them are very happy and have a rather enthusiastic, spontaneous nature – which they show at every celebration (and their number is quite remarkable). As far as their religion is concerned, experts affirm that Brazil is the largest Roman Catholic country in the entire world but the truth is that you will find a great variety of religious beliefs and practices here. Officially, Brazil was a catholic country since the 16th right until 1889 when the Portuguese Empire disappeared. The 1889 constitution guarantees full religious freedom and since then, a wide variety of beliefs have been practiced. However, in 1996 a study made by CNBB also known as National Conference of Brazilian Bishops showed that approximately 80% of the inhabitants declared themselves as Roman Catholics. Many of the Brazilian people are married and baptized in the Catholic Church but they don’t attend Sunday Mass quite often.

Candomble – a religion that is found in Brazil was brought here by the slaves that came from Benin and Nigeria. According to the Catholic officials and the slave-owners, the African slaves had to be converted to the Christian religion and as a consequence, banned from performing Candomble rituals. In order to maintain their traditional practices but at the same time contenting their owners, the slaves coupled their deities with corresponding Catholic personalities.

Protestantism – over the last decades, this religion has grown in popularity quite rapidly. The 2000 Census stated that about 15% of the Brazilian inhabitants identify themselves as being Protestants and approximately 85% of them are Evangelical or Pentecostal. The Lutherans and the Baptists make up the bulk of the remaining Protestants and they are centered in the southern part of Brazil, where the majority of German and northern European immigrants concentrated during the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

Moving on to the literature aspect of Brazil, the most popular writer is without any doubt Jorge Amado (1912-2002). He was born in Salvador and his writings captured the personality and spirit of Bahias. His most successful novels include: The Violent Land (1944), Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon (1958), Shepherds of the Night (1964) and Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands (1966). Another well-known Brazilian writer was Machado de Assis (1839-1908). He was a novelist that had a deep understanding of human relations. In the 20th century, other notables Brazilian writers were born, like: Clarice Lispector, Garciliano Ramos, Cecilia Meireles and others as well.

All things considered Brazil is a wonderful and interesting country at the same that and that is why every year, millions and millions of tourists visit it.

Are there any organizations in the midwest that could help me train my dog to be a service dog?

I have several autoimmune diseases that sometimes make it difficult to do things or even get out of my bed. I recently got a german shepherd and he seems like he has the right temperament (from my limited knowledge) and learns very quickly. He’s already about a year old…. I’m primarily looking for him to do things like get my medicine bag and bring it to me, get things that I have dropped, and maybe assist me with things like going to the grocery store for a few items. He’s very sweet and likes to be helpful and I’ve heard that shepherds are particularly happy if they have “jobs” to do… I just don’t know where to begin with him…

I would try this site first….

Separation Anxiety In Dogs

Separation anxiety is one of the most common problems that dogs develop. Its an anxiety disorder, and is defined as a state of intense panic brought on by the dogs isolation or separation from her owner. In other words, when you leave for work in the morning, your dog is plunged into a state of nervous anxiety which intensifies extremely quickly. Dogs are social animals they need plenty of company and social interaction to keep them happy and content. No dog likes to be left alone for long stretches of time, but some dogs do a lot worse than others and these are the ones most prone to separation anxiety. There are a number of contributing causes to the condition.

Some breeds are genetically predisposed towards anxiety and insecurity, which is something you should consider when deciding which breed you are going to go for particularly if you are going to be absent for long stretches of time. A few of these breeds include Weimaraners, Springer Spaniels, German Shepherds, and Airedales. A significant proportion of dogs from shelters develop separation anxiety. Most of these shelter dogs have undergone significant trauma in their lives they have been abandoned by their previous owners and thus they have little trust that their new found owner.

Dogs that were separated from their mothers and siblings too early have been identified as being especially prone to separation anxiety. Puppies from pet stores are a perfect example of this. They are usually taken from their mothers well before the earliest possible age which is 8 weeks, and confined to a small glass box in the pet store for anywhere between a few weeks to two months. This early weaning, coupled with the lack of exercise and affection while in the pet store, is psychologically traumatic for the dog.

Neglect is the number one cause of sepration anxiety for dogs. If you are absent much more than you are present in your dogs life, separation anxiety is pretty much inevitable. Your dog needs your company, affection, and attention in order to be happy and content. The symptoms of separation anxiety are pretty distinctive. Your dog will usually learn to tell when you are about to leave, she wll hear keys jingling, will see you putting on your outdoor clothes, and will become anxious. She may follow you from room to room, whining, trembling, and crying. Some dogs even become aggressive, in an attempt to stop their owners from leaving.

When you have left, the anxious behavior will rapidly worsen and usually will peak within half an hour. She may bark incessantly, scratch and dig at windows and doors, an attempt to escape from confinement and reunite herself with you, chew inappropriate items, even urinate and defecate inside the house. In extreme cases, she might self mutilate by licking or chewing her skin until its raw, or pulling out fur or will engage in obsessive compulsive behaviors, like spinning and tail chasing.

Upon your return, she will be excessively excited, and will leap around you in a frenzy of delight for a protracted period of time more than the 30 seconds to one minute of a happy, well balanced dog. This extended greeting is a source of some misunderstanding without realizing that such a greeting actually signifies the presence of a psychological disorder, some owners actually encourage their dog to get more and more worked up upon their return by fuelling the dogs excitement, encouraging her to leap around, paying her protracted attention, and so on.

If you are behaving in this way with your dog, please stop. I know its tempting and very easy to do, and it seems harmless after all, she is so happy to see you, what harm can it do to return her attention and affection in equal measure? but in actuality, you are just validating her belief that your return is the high point of the day. So she is as happy as Larry when you return but, when its time for you to leave again, her now exaggerated happiness at your presence is under threat, and she gets even more unhappy when you walk out that door. Fortunately, there are things you can do to minimize your dogs tendency towards anxiety. Here is a short list of what to do.

Do exercise the heck out of her. Really wear her out, the longer you expect to be away, the more exercise she should get before you leave. For example, if you are leaving for work in the morning, she will probably be by herself for at least four hours and, if you have got a dog walker to take her out mid day instead of coming back yourself, she will not see you, the person she really cares about for at least nine hours. So she needs a good, vigorous walk fifteen to twenty minutes is the absolute minimum here, before you walk out that door. More is even better.

Distract her from her boredom, loneliness, and anxiety by giving her an attractive alternative to pining, pacing, and whining. All dogs love to chew, why not play on this predisposition? Get a couple of marrowbones from the butcher, bake them in the oven for 20 minutes so they go nice and hard and crunchy and so she can not smear marrow all over your furniture, slice them up into chunks of a few inches long, and give her one about 15 minutes before you leave. It will keep her happy and occupied, and will act as a smokescreen for your departure.

When you leave, put the radio on to a soothing station, classical music is ideal, but any station featuring lots of talk shows is also ideal. Keep the volume quite low, and it will calm her down a bit and give her the feeling that she has got company. If at all possible, supply her with a view. If she can see the world going by, thats the next best thing to being out and about in it.

Acclimatize her to your leaving. Taking things nice and slowly, practice getting ready to go, jingle your keys about, put on your coat, and open the door. Then without leaving sit back down and do not go anywhere. Do this until shes not reacting any more. When there are no reaction, give her a treat and lavish praise for being so brave. Next, practice actually walking out the door and returning immediately, again doing this until there are no reaction. Gradually work up, gradually being the operative word here until you are able to leave the house with no signs of stress from her.

Do not act overtly sympathetic when she is crying. Although it sounds very cold hearted, trying to soothe and comfort your dog by patting her and cooing over her is actually one of the worst things you can do. Its essentially validating her concern. Make sure she can not tell that you feel sorry for her, do not ever say, its ok, good girl when she is upset.

Who feeds a grain free food and what kind and who feeds RAW?

Just curious who is out there that feeds a good grain free diet or who feeds raw. I feed a raw diet to my adult dogs but our pups go to their new homes on Taste of the Wild(grain free) since the majority of people don’t want to feed raw. Also if you feed raw do you do prey model or barf? What kind of dogs do you have and are you involved in any dog sports or showing??
I breed and show german shepherds, we have several champion pointed dogs and a champion, we also have obedience titled dogs and one presently working with my daughter in agility. My daughter is also tied for the #10 Junior handler in the USA for german shepherds! Here is a link to my website.

http://sites.centralpets.com/mammals/peakesbrookgsd/index.html

I feed raw, prey model. I have a chocolate Labrador Retriever and a true hairless Chinese Crested. We’re currently trying to get the lab involved in agility and the CCH is working on basic obedience (he’s still a baby).

I need a GSD!(German Shepherd Dog.)?

It doesn’t need to have champion blood, just full bred and papers! And around the texas area.(Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Tyler etc.) And the price UNDER $525. Thanks a wholeeeeee lot! I really need a breeder of GSD’s ! Thank you!

What should I do with my dog while I’m at work and she’s in a new house?

This weekend my husband and I are moving into our new home. Our house doesn’t have a fenced yard as of now, although that is a top priority as soon as we save enough for one. She’s house trained but has been prone to anxiety when left in strange places, resulting in diherea (sp?). She’s a two year old German Shepherd. I don’t want to tie her out in the yard but I also don’t want a mess in our new house. Any suggestions?
do you mean to leave her in a room behind a closed door? or in the kitchen with a baby gate thing to block off the rest of the house? The time she got diherea, she was closed in my parents bedroom. I don’t really know if that was a result of her anxiety or she was just sick.

Or you can just leave her in one room and put things in there with her that have familiar smells. A blanket or an old piece of clothing with your scent on it.

German Shepherd or Labrador??Not a general Question!!?

Hello guys
First of all this is not some question asking about the qualities between both dogs
as i know a lot about both breeds nd hv little experience with both breeds.

Well this question is in between my heart and my mind

My heart says go for the German shepherd as i have loved them since childhood nd still loves them, they are intelligent nd loyal dogs but with problem of shedding nd overprotecting,unnecessary barking, u hv to tie them up wen guest comes over etc. .

but my mind
Says that go for the Labrador as it is more practical dog, everyone loves them, no problem with guest overall a fantastic family pet.

I live in a apartment with a lawn in Delhi with my family of 5.

So please help me in Deciding.

Just to clear something up, Labs shed just as much as Shepherds, trust me.
Labs also suffer from the unecessary barking – both breeds only suffer this from a lack of training, so if you all put the effort in you wont have that problem. The GSD will only be overprotective if raised to be that way, with good socialization there will not be a problem there. Also, I see no reason for a GSD to be tied up when guests come over if you are willing to train the dog. Our GSD was very friendly and sociable. As for the Lab being more practical – what are the reasons for this? Everybody loves them? – afraid not. Many yes, popular yes, but everybody – NO. Everybody has their own likes and dislikes in a dog and which breeds they prefer. A Labrador retriever will have many problems with guests when they arrive if they are not trained, they are boistrous by nature as pups (many breeds are) and although smaller still have strength when bouncing around. Im not saying you should go for any particular breed here, more that you need to look at all dogs in the same category – they require excercise, sensible socialization, boundaries, and general training to be a good dog. What effort you put in is what you will get back. As for apartment living, as long as you will give the dog a good routine with plenty excercise and stimulation that should not be a problem.

I think you need to agree with your family how much grooming you are willing to provide, how much excercise and also how much you are dedicated to training and socializing the dog. Then narrow your choice between them that way. Also there is no way that we can give you a sensible answer online as to which breed to get – which we personally prefer yes, but suitable for you – how can we? we dont know you, your family, your routines, who will be responsible for the dog……only you and your family can make that decision. Perhaps if you all visited a breeder of Labs then a breeder of GSD’s to see what you all think and get info on the dogs – also good to see just what the differences are in the breeds when you come face to face with them entering someone elses home.

ADD; Here are some links that will be useful to you.
this one gives good general advice on dogs and pups and I recommend you have a good read through the site before deciding which dog to get. http://www.dogsindia.com/puppy_care.htm
The link below takes you to a quiz that I recommend you do to help decide on breed, I recommend whichever breed you like on the ’shortlist’ you research further to be sure before purchasing a dog.

and some more info I think you will find helpful in raising a pup/maintaining a good tempered adult dog
