German Shepherd Facts
german shepherd facts
Is a german shepherd/terrior mix even possible? haha?
We got our dog from a animal sanctuary and they said they think he is terrier and German shepherd mix. All his brothers and sisters look like terriers but he looks like German Shepard/ husky! Hes about 4 months old and when he sits his head stands about 1 foot and 4 inches from the ground. He seems bigger than a full grown terrier right now. The fact is they found the litter on an Indian reservation in Utah so they can’t tell exactly the day he was born or what he is. Do you think he will get German shepherd size? Hes definitely German shepherd, he looks like one and definitely acts like one, but he has a husky mask and floppy ears.
He’ll likely not be as big as a German Shepherd but you never know. It’s hard to say with mixed litters.. You can only guess..
Why female German shepherd won’t allow the male mount her?
despite the fact she’s in heat
If you really mean a “shepherd” (a human who looks after sheep), it’s because she is isn’t a slut.
If your meant “Shepherd Dog”, it’s because (unlike sluttish humans), even when in season she isn’t ready to be mated any old day.
Also, she might also have bonded with another dog, as my youngest has bonded with her older brother.
She might well be terrified of the loutish dog you’ve chosen
Were there a restriction in her vulva, that would result in the dog probing then dismounting.
But none of that matters.
YOU don’t have a bit.ch worth mating.
NO-ONE who comes to YA to ask questions about breeding has a pooch worth mating.
See, anyone who DOES have a pooch worth mating would be asking:
• the pooch’s breeder;
• their breed mentor;
• the people in the club where they show & train their pooch.
• the people in the GSD discussion groups they belong to.
Being worth mating has little to do with whether the pooch has Registration with the country’s official Kennel Club, but that IS the first essential.
It has to do with having:
□ a well-balanced pedigree,
□ show certificates to prove its construction typical of its breed,
□ performance certificates to prove its attitude/behaviour typical of its breed,
□ “health” certificates to show that it is not personally afflicted by any of the main problems in that breed (but, as most problems are due to recessives, he/she could still PRODUCE those problems when mated to the wrong partner).
It is difficult to complete all the necessary credentials at younger than 25 months. Which is fine, because a GSD bit.ch is not mentally mature until about 2 years old, and not physically mature until about 2½.
Many poor “pet” bitches get mated at their first season, and end up in the situation of an 11-12 year old girl being expected to rear twins. The warnings others have given aren’t “cause & effect”, they are all effects of the bitch being still immature.
If you want to be a breeder, then go about it PROPERLY.
There isn’t room here to list everything, but early steps should be:
• download http://www.fci.be/uploaded_files/166A1991_en.doc and LEARN it almost off by heart. The rebel “Standards” put out by the KCs in Britain, Canada, the USofA are crap.
• join a GSD club and participate in its activities
• buy a couple of quality GSD books – I recommend either of Dr Malcolm Willis’s “GSD History & Genetics” books, and “The GSD Today” by Strickland & Moses .
• join some of the 300+ YahooGroups dedicated to various aspects of living with GSDs. Each group’s Home page tells you what they like to discuss, and how active they are.
Between those sources you will learn what is required of a GSD for it to be considered breed-worthy.
You MIGHT have fluked such a pooch, but unless you bought it from a top-class breeder and all the animals in her pedigree have BS.Cl. or KKl (for a genuine GSD) or are show champions (for a show-is-all deviation), the odds are incredibly heavily against it.
