Every time this happens put him/her in a cage or outside then let him/her right back in so he/she doesn`t forget why you put them out there.
A German Shepherd can reach 35 mph easily and keep it at a steady pace.
Keep her away from males, and try to keep her in a no carpeted aea to avoid bleeding.
That breed is a loyal, one person only type of dog.
A German Shepherd can keep a steady pace of 26 mph but at a sprint 30 - 32 can be maintained.
Great Dane here, if you plan to keep a dog just for guarding but not to attack kids the German Shepherd and Dobermann wouldn't be suitable for you.
it is okay to keep a labrador and German shepherd together as long as they both get along and if they don't when they start to growl at each other separate them aventully they will get used to each others company! don't worry dogs can sence your worry!
Keep a look out in your local Newspapers and the breeders in your area on the internet.
A German Shepherd can keep the same pace a lot longer than human. If a person can run an hour non stop so can a German Shepherd, easily. That articular breed just wouldn't stop out of tiredness, they would run along side their master as they would in the wild after their alpha.
The German Shepherd dog is a large dog which needs a lot of exercise. Any toy which it can chase would be a good gift to keep it fit. Therefore a ball or a stick would be a good gift.
Unless you want to pay to get the dog professional attack training (which I don't suggest) then there is really no way to make a german shepherd kill a robber. But I do know that they make excellent natural guard dogs. If a german shepherd knows and loves you then they will fight for you with there life if the situation arises, one of the reasons the police use them so much. Although, just by having a german shepherd in your house would be enough to keep robbers away.
It is completely normal for a German shepherd to have only one ear or both ears folded; every dog is different. A shepherd should be brushed daily because of the excessive amount of shedding they experience, especially in the warmer months.
A reputable breeder breeds German Shepherd's as they adore the breed and wish to keep the breed pure and worthy of its lineage. Then... BYB's [back yard breeder's] who breed a couple for some quick money and finally, Puppy Miller's who keep various breeds in small cages and breed them, making a huge profit.
