How can you find out when your German Shepherd go on heat?
Without a veterinarian's examination it is impossible to know for sure until your dog starts to deliver puppies. A veterinarian can perform an abdominal ultrasound looking for fetuses (they tend to be very distinct), draw blood for a hormone level assay or (in late pregnancy) take an abdominal ultrasound to look for mineralized bone.
At home, you can watch for changes in behavior (less energy or more, less outgoing or more, more playful or less, more territorial, more aggressive, etc. - each female is different). You may notice the vulva remains large, as if the female were in heat and you might notice mammary development with secretions on the tips of the nipples.
However, female dogs can also have pseudo-pregnancies, where they appear pregnant but aren't. It takes a veterinarian to sort this out, and to treat a pseudo-pregnancy.
To notice that your dog is pregnant, is not as hard as it looks depending on the type of breed that it you will see diferrent changes time by time.
The bitches nipples will start popping up and you might see white which is the mothers milk.
She might start to have lumps on the side of her stomach which are her pups.
She will become less active, as soon start to run off to be online, and hide to relax before the arrival of her pups.
A bitch is pregnant for about 62 days.
To really be sure so a vet .

What to do if the German shorthaired pointer puppy is biting?
I would suggest positive reinforcement. This means when a dog does something you want it to, you give it a treat. And, if the dog does something bad all you do is say no in a stern voice. When a dog sits, say sit and give the dog a treat or praise. Do this with whichever commands you want to teach your dog. Stay takes a long time, you have to say stay, then go a little bit away(like a step) then go back and give praise and slowly get farther and farther away.

How should a German Shepherd be cared for?
You feed && water him. You groom him every day. You take him out. you love him.
German Shepherds are generally not good first dogs. They have a tendency to test owners to see what they can get away with and to become destructive through boredom. They require a confident and fair owner who enjoys daily training sessions and lots of activity. Compared to the average dog, German Shepherds need more exercise, both physically and mentally. Expect to give them at least three workouts per day of at least 15 minutes each where you get the dog running hard. Expect to enroll them in obedience school as puppies and to continue their training throughout their lives. Consider competition sports with your GSD to keep them positively occupied. GSDs with too little to occupy them quickly become destructive through boredom. Expect to give daily grooming for their thick double coats. During semi-annual shedding periods, called "blowing coat," expect to deal with a LOT of loose hair and even more grooming. Special trimming by a professional groomer is not necessary.

German short hair pointers mature more slowly than smaller dogs, but not as slowly as giant breeds like Great Danes and Newfoundlands. A pointer will reach his adult size and weight by the time he is about 2 years old.
How many puppies can a German Shepherd give birth minimum?
A female will have pups everytime she is mated but it is cruel and unnessessary to mate too many times. You should not mate a GSD until she is mature, no earlier than 3. You should also let her have a season in between litters and not mate after they are 8, the KC will not register the puppies. I wouldn't let mine (not GSD) have more then 3 litters.
You should also make sure the dog and bitch have had all the health checks that are required BEFORE mating and they do not exceed the average scores.
That would be a gorgeous mix! I'd pay around 5-6 hundred myself! But others might not agree with mixing the breed, you wont be able to "show" them and they would be considered mutts to some people .. why can't they just see the beauty in the pairing? and get off their high horse!
