Can you breed an australian shepherd on there first cycle?

Whilst it is possible to breed from an Australian Shepherd on there first heat cycle, this is NOT advisable. As your dog is still developing, if she becomes pregnant she will have to give her vital nutrients and vitamins to her growing puppies, which would stunt her growth. It may also be damaging to both her physical and mental well-being as she is too young. You should wait until she has had at least three heat cycles before breeding from her.

How often does a German Shepard and Basset Hound need to go to the vet?

While both dogs will have different diseases and conditions of concern that are specific to their breeds, both should be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year for a general wellness exam and vaccine boosters as needed. After they turn 7 years old, they should be seen ideally twice a year for geriatric (old dog) wellness exams. If either dog develops a chronic disease that needs closer management, that dog should be seen more often as described by your veterinarian.

When do German shepherd pups lose their baby hair?

OK,

so if you pull and throw your dog around like the way I do then you will notice hair around your hands and nails. the best way to fix this problem is to put on your steel cap boots and give your dog a good kick you know where. don't be afraid to discipline your dog with brutal force. if he continues to lose his hair slap his face really hard while holding some scissors in the palm of your hand. if he cries, this is good for his well being and will soon learn to respect you.

back to the hair.. as a treat for your new pal, poke out his eyes if his hair ends up on the couch, he will soon learn to drop his hair elsewhere. this is all normal behavior and don't be alarmed if he poops on the spot, all you do is rub it inside his nose while slicing off one of his feet. after this interrogation believe me he will learn not to drop hair ever again.

Is a beauceron better than a German shepherd?

Depends on you, as the owner.

A German Shepherd would certainly be more loyal, going as far to die for its owner and is more popular.

Beaucerons are much more rare.

They both make good guard dogs but the German Shepherd is easier to train.

What kind of coat do Australian shepherd have?

Is a white Australian Shepherd still a Australian Shepherd?

Color does not change the breed of a dog. Having said that, white Australian Shepherds should be discouraged and should never be purchased from a breeder. An Aussie that is mostly white may be a homozygous merle, also called a double merle. This means that both parents carried the merle gene. It may sound innocent enough, but double merle Aussies can be blind and/or deaf or have vision and hearing difficulties. Breeders who breed two merles together are not scrupulous breeders and aren't the sort of person you'd want to buy a puppy from. If you are interested in getting a double merle Aussie, rescues are a great place to look. Most people don't want these white Aussies because they may be deaf or blind, but they still make great pets and still need homes like any other dog. They act like any other dog, they just may need some extra care and consideration.
