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.

10 week german shepherd puppy?

I have 10 weeks german shepherd puppy. Yesterday I noticed that his poop is normal but dark green in color. He is acting and eating normal and I do not see any signs of illness. Two days ago I switched to eucanuba puppy food, and i give it to him wet, not dry. Any suggestions for this situation?

It’s because he’s only a puppy, he does not have many dead red blood cells, so his poop comes out green. It’s the same with babies

German Shepherd Housebreaking

Miecke and the potty training

Having had multiple dogs before, we knew we had to potty train our adorable German shepherd puppy right away. We always use the same method. We use the crate. So it was a no-brainer that we would have to use the same method on Miecke. Of course, nothing comes easy with Miecke. As adorable and lovable she is, she can be twice as hard-headed. As she HATES to be confined.

The crate system of potty training is simple. During the day, you take them outside shortly after they eat and drink and you praise them extravagantly when they do their business outside. Occasional accidents inside are to be expected. Puppies do not like sitting or sleeping in their own mess. When you put them into their crate at night, you leave them just enough space to lie down. In relatively short period of time they will hold it until they can go out.

Of course Miecke was different. She hated the crate with passion. She cried all night and the mess she made was indescribable. We figured it would pass. After some time, and some sleepless nights, we were ready to throw in the towel. We tried everything. We placed the crate closer to us, far away from us, we limited food and water intake before bedtime, nothing worked. It seemed that Miecke had a special storage in her body where she saved the urine and fecal matter. She decided that we will not be in crate unless we suffer too. We didn’t know what to do.

All of a sudden, she stopped. Out of nowhere. I think that we were just a little more stubborn than she was. What did I learn? That no matter how difficult it seems to train your puppy, it can be done. It takes lots of patience, some sleepless nights, but it must be done. Because if you don’t train your puppy right away, it will never become the kind of dog you really want around your family.
