German Shepherds

If provoked, yes.

Just because it is a certain breed doesn't mean it automatically will beat up another dog.

The Wolf has absolutely no part in the GSD's making apart from being an ancient ancestor. However, everyone classed them as wolf dogs because of their looks.

Hold him gently in the bath tub and let him see and sniff the shower handle, turn it on and sooth him and gradually bring it over him. He'll be fine.

The average litter size for a German shepherd is about6. but there can be up to 13. but don't get your hopes up.

I guess you meant to say 'The'?

Greyhouds are thought to have come from Egypt, where simmilar dogs, such as Salukis and Pharoh Hounds came/come from.

Hope it helps!

No. While some are currently used as guard dogs, that was not their original purpose. As the name implies, German Shepherds were originally bred to herd sheep. As part of their sheep herding duties, they were to protect the sheep from wolves and thieves. They were also expected to protect their human owner from thieves, which led to their eventual use as personal protection dogs.

Very many breeds of dogs are good swimmers but here are some of the best. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, and Newfoundlands are some of the best breeds of dogs for swimming. They all have webbed paws which they use as paddles to help them swim faster in the water. Also some have special jowls on their mouth that help them breath and don't let in any water. These breeds of dogs are the dogs that many use as search and water reascue because of their great ability to swim and find people.

Dogs have good hearing, and move their ears forward to listen to what is in front of them. As they have forward facing eyes, this is often a point of interest - such as an owner or food. Generally, ears forward indicate friendliness and interest, but can also mean the dog is alert to danger and should not be taken as a friendly sign in an unknown dog.

A white German Shepherd has a black nose and paw pads and dark brown eyes. An albino has a pink nose and pale eyes.

They can. Whether they like to depends on personal characteristics and past experiences. Very lean dogs have to work harder to swim because of their lack of body fat (which makes dogs float). All of my German Shepherds love to swim, especially when they get to retrieve toys in the water.

Yes, the German Shepherd is a German breed of dog, first bred in 1899 in Karlsruhe, Germany mainly by Captain Max von Stephanitz. In 1899, the German organisation Verein fur Deutsche Scharferhunde SV was formed to oversee breeding programs of the German Shepherd.

Possibly the breed known as "Alsatian", which is, in effect, a really big German Shepherd.

ALOT.. becuz there really big but if its a puppy not as much as an adult i have 3 and in 1-2 days they finish 1 of those medium sized bags of dog food(not the real big ones) and there real active so alot,alot of water

No! In fact, the sooner you get her spayed, the better. The ideal is to prevent pregnancy, and she might not be pregnant yet. Even if she is, she can be spayed at any time but the earlier the better. Spaying a female dog that has become pregnant is usually more expensive. The quicker you have it done, the less harmful to the dog and your pocket book. I would also make sure that what ever dog mated with her is neutered! We have enough unwanted animals in this country. Please don't stall and allow her to become pregnant or advance in pregnancy and have puppies. If you think she's pregnant and have a problem ending the pregnancy on "moral" grounds, consider the morality of what will happen if she has puppies. It will be difficult to find sincerely good homes for all of them. To do a reasonable job, you should screen each person who wants a puppy, asking how long the dog will be alone each day, whether it will live inside or outside, calling their veterinarian for reference, and checking their home first. Not everyone is the caring pet owner they may seem when they are cuddling a puppy. Often, when people take puppies (especially free ones), they grow tired of them within a year. Partly it's because they're no longer "cute" and "puppy-like" once they are beyond about 12 weeks old, and partly because they've had time to develop behavioral issues if they're not adequately trained. The shelters are full of unwanted dogs that are 1 to 2 years old. If, by some miracle, you are able to find people who will keep each of the pups for life, consider that those homes could have rescued the same number of pups from your local shelter or rescue. Either way, puppies will suffer, and that is not moral.

A medium sized house with a large fenced in garden is satisfactory.

yes it can lions can run 35 to 40 mph but ostrich run 40 to 45 mph.

14-15 years but some last a lot longer if you take really, really good care of it.

I f you mean life span then it is 10-15 years

Yes, it is possible to train a 4 years old German Shepherd. In fact, it is best to train a puppy as soon as possible.

A rescue dog would be the least expensive. Be wary of anyone selling cheap German Shepherds. There's always a chance they are puppy mill dogs.

If you really want one, visit your local shelter or contact the nearest German Shepherd Rescue organisation. People often buy a Shepherd without researching what the breed is like. They quickly find they can't handle the dog, or can't offer it the stimulation it needs and dump the poor animal.

Legend has it, that gray wolves were actually used in the breeding to create German Shepherd's. The similarities are the pointy ears, the long muzzle, the long legs, bushy tail, and when they walk they hunch over and sort of trot (it looks a little like they are skipping).

Kyphotic angulation refers to the condition of the abnormal angulation of the spine. This usually leads to a round back deformity.
