German Shepherds

the woman tells the shepherd no to love. she says soon the flowers will go away and die for winter. as plants change for seasons, so will his love change for her. she thinks he wont lover forever. she says it would be different if it was spring all the time (his love for her would never change) but this is impossible. she rejects his love.

If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee and be thy love. Time drives the flocks from field to fold When rivers rage and rocks grow cold, And Philomel becometh dumb; The rest complains of cares to come. The flowers do fade, and wanton fields To wayward winter reckoning yields; A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall, Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses, Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten-- In folly ripe, in reason rotten. Thy belt of straw and ivy buds, Thy coral claps and somber studs, All these in me no means can move To come to thee and be thy love. But could youth last and love still breed, Had joys no date nor age no need, Then these delights my mind might move To live with thee and be thy love. -- Sir Walter Raleigh

If you go online and check the AKC regulations you will find all of the specifics on the breed. However, if you are looking for a pure bred shepherd make sure the breeder has all of the paper work proving that they are AKC registered. Never buy a puppy without those papers, otherwise your getting scammed and will never see them. My dog is two years old now and when we first got him his ears were still floppy (which is normal for a GSD pup) he also had a really fluffy type of coat. They have an undercoat and when they grow bigger the top coat should be shiny and almost water proof, their ears should stand straight up by themselves. The only time they should really go down is if they are very angry and about to attack. Some agencies recognize pure white or black GSD but mostly they want to see a brown and black or red and black with a saddle mark on its back. I'm not sure on the specifics of the long haired GSD because I only own a short haired one. My dog is a blue and creme colored but the color choice depends on what the breeder has available. But you should really consult a vet or a responsible breeder before making your decision. Also if you do buy a pup make sure you get his hips checked out. GSD's tend to have bad hip problems and you would want to know right away if your puppy has any early symptoms of hip problems.

Every hour

most of them are born black and they turn lighter colored as they get older

There are several possibilities, but a vet should be consulted for a diagnosis. It is possible it is from degenerative myelitis, a disease that effects GSDs and their ability to use their hind quarters.

It's German Shepherd, both the G and the S are capitalized.

did put a large list down but someone took it off.

Just type in 'restaurants in La Grange, Texas' into google. That's where I found them.

If you do decide to get a German Shepherd puppy, you need to make sure you have the time for one. A German Shepherd is one of the world's best companions, so it is a great family dog.

A female German Shepherd will be more protective of children because of their motherly instincts. A female is less likely to stray than a male. But, when it comes to protection, a female fights more in a "scappy" way.

A male German Shepherd will be more protective....as they are normally used as police dogs. (I guess it must be in the hormones) Males will "fight to the death" if something is threatening you or your family. Although, even if you get the males fixed, they are likely to stray if they sense a female in heat.

But, whatever gender you choose, you are getting a great dog. And, you should get them fixed to give them a longer life.

I have had both females and males in my lifetime and they are both great.

I think a female would be best if you have young children. But, it is you choice.

I hope you enjoy your new German Shepherd puppy.

German Shepherds are generally active dogs. Both of mine "talk" to me - especially the male. He "whines" when he is excited - for example when I first get home or when we are going somewhere.

A shepherd will not stand a chance against a pit that comes out of bloodlines that produce fighting dogs. The shepherd simply lacks "gameness" and the pit has it in spades. Also, the police use shepherds, who by the way, really do bite and hold a suspect, unlike what someone else said, because they used to be a very versatile breed before they stuck their heads in the confirmation toilet. The police do not use the pit, who although would make a great police dog and he will out, because of the stigma associated with the breed.

By the age of two years the breed is classed as an adult so depending on sex and coat length as well as structure 35 - 40 kg is correct for the Shepherd.

There are brands of food that are specially formulated for German Shepherds. However, these are usually filled with corn or other grains which offer very little nutrition. There are plenty of brands out there that will work just fine. With dog food, you usually get the quality you pay for. Staying away from foods that have a lot of cereals and other grain in would be best. Pick a food that has a high meat content. I have five German Shepherds and I feed my dogs Canidae which has more than enough fat and protein for them. A puppy or a pregnant/lactating needs to have a food that is at least 17% fat and 28% protein.

There are also many people who feed their dogs strictly a raw diet which consists of meat, bones, organs and sometimes with a small amount of vegetables, fruits and vitamins. While there are people who do a mix of kibble and raw.

It is up to you how you feed your dog. But the bottom line is do your homework and feed them a quality food.

The American Bobtail is a breed........of CAT!

No they do not.

The best ways of getting in touch with a breeder of German Shepherd puppies and dogs is to look on websites for registered dog breeders. These will all be listed by the RSPCA and the ASPCA.

If you are truly serious and want to save this dog's life (or some other owner will force you to have it put down) then find a good trainer for this dog. There is a chance "first blood" and it's too late, but I believe in giving the dog a chance. Please keep this dog away from other people and especially children. Although the dog may appear docile to you, you're the owner and you have no idea what your dog is capable of. German Shepherds were using during the 2nd World War, and also as attack dogs for the Germans, as well as for property protection in the U.S. and Canada and also police officers will use them. They have been so imbred by breeders the bloodlines have become weak and thus, that is why the poodle is being introduced into so many other breeds such as labs, beagles, cocker spaniels, etc. My father had a friend who was a police officer. He was trained with his dog "Blast" and he would bring the dog home with him after shift to become part of the family. This dog had been in the family home for over 4 years and they had no problems with it. One evening he and his wife were expecting company for dinner, so without giving it a thought, the wife went to the dining room table to remove her husbands leather gloves and the dog charged her and literally tore her arm off! There ya go! This is a sighn of serious agression trying to fix this on your own maybe very dangerous so read everything dont just stop reading!BUT before you do let me tell you this it may seem like it may not work but try it. 1)always be calm/submissive around your dog 2)get your dog and take it on atleasta 45 - 60minute walk 3)while on your walk you will have to face alot of obstacles dont get scared never while doing this or it will transfer right to your dog and then turn him nervous and attack!never say (good boy, its okay, you want a treat!)never i mean never or you will just tell him its okay, go ahead keep doing what your doing. 4)the dog will throw a bit of fights and start throwing himself every where dont panic stay calm.there is also another thing i learned theres a part of his body that just makes him stop and focus back at you i think it is between the rib cage area. there is probably other problems triggering this reaction he/she probably does not get enough excersise(letting him run around in a yard does not countbecause if you got your dog from a kennel he feels like hes coming from on kennel to another and that just builds up more tension.if this is a serious case i prefer you not to do this by yourself.

No, the poodle is not a match for a gsd. A germanshepherd would tear and maked juice of a poodle'

No.

Dogs can be trained in any language, regardless of where the dog comes from.

Many German Shepards are used for law enforcement, and are trained using commands in English, French, Chinese, German, or Japanese.

German Shepherds are widely recognized for their protective instincts and are often used as working dogs in roles such as police, military, and search and rescue. Their loyalty, intelligence, and trainability make them excellent guardians for families and properties. However, proper training and socialization are crucial to ensure they develop balanced protective behaviors without aggression. Overall, they are considered one of the top breeds for protection and security.

It depends on what breeder you ask. I suggest you go to puppyfind.com. When you search for a German Shepard it will come up with all the different pups with the prices and where the shipping area is. Hope this helped

Try the local animal pounds or animal control centres.

Keep searching 'shelters in Maryland' into a search engine and keep a look out in local adverts too.
