Clyde my lazy German ShepherdWhat are the risks of shaving a German Shepherd dog?
I have two beautiful German Shepherds, both 12 years old now, which I brush daily. I enjoy the brushing and love my dogs.
A friend of mine wants to buy a Shepherd and shave him to control shedding. I am really upset with her. Told her that she should not buy a Shepherd if she is going to shave him and that she should consider another breed. She insists that shaving is not only OK but recommended by Vets.
Am I wrong or is she?
You are absolutely right.
Long haired, double coated dogs do not need to be shaved…..ever. Unless the dog has passed the point of no return in the matting department, the best type of grooming for these dogs is a vigorous undercoat raking with a special tool that helps remove the undercoat, a bath, and a blow dry to help separate the hair.
The guard hairs on the top that do not shed out provide protection against the rays of the sun, and actually insulate the dog from the heat. Dogs left with just the undercoat WILL shed. It may shed shorter hair, but it will still shed.
Sometimes the hair will NOT grow back. The older the dog, the less likely the guard hairs will regrow. The undercoat will regrow, but the upper hair sometimes does not.
Skin that is damaged by UV rays that they would not otherwise be exposed to, can take a long time to heal, and the dog may have scaling and dandruff for quite some time after the hair has regrown.
Unless she wants to shave the dog for medical reasons she should consider another breed. GSDs shed. That's something that needs to be considered and accepted. In my opinion the cons far outnumber the pros.
At what age do German shepherd dogs start to urinate with their legs lifted?
around how many months will my german shepherd start to urintae with his leg up… his currently 9 weeks old.
I'm not sure exactly how long it takes. I know every dog is different but it will happen. I use to wonder the same thing. Its like a proud papa waiting for there son to show his man hood. Dont worry it happen. Then you have to deal with him tagging everything in the house.
Large German Shepherds – Large German Shepherd breeder in PA
Large German Shepherds from large German Shepherd breeder in Pennsylvania – large German Shepherds (known as large German Shepards or large German Shepard Dogs), can also be considered old fashioned German Shepherds or old style German Shepherds. Video showcasing our dogs and previous puppies.
Pioneer German Shepherds breeds sweet-tempered plush and long coat (long haired) German Shepherd Dogs that are oversized with a laidback temperament. Please note that our dogs are NOT Shiloh Shepherds but are distantly related, with larger size and less angulation than most GSD. Nor are they King Shepherds, however they are above average in size (some say king sized) with a large-boned structure. However, all are AKC German Shepherd Dogs. Puppies are whelped indoors and raised underfoot in our home with lots of love, occasionally available to select companion homes.

What breedline of a German Shepherd is right for me?
I am looking for a German Shepherd. I am hoping for an American Shepherd look. But I also want a Shepherd willing to work, but not way too energetic. I heard the from the American breeders that German bloodline is aggresive and unsound. I also heard from the German breeders that American bloodline is stupid and cowardly. I also heard that mixing bothe bloodline is good. Does anyone know much about this? Oh also any other information about German shepherds is welcomed. I am doing a research report on them. And does anyone know of good german shepherds breeders, preferably in Indiana.
You should get one from the shelter. Just because they're shelter dogs doesn't make the fancy bred ones better! We've adopted both of ours from www.petfinder.com they have thousands of homeless animals Shepherds included. The 2 we got from the shelter turned out to be some of the best dogs we've ever owned. So cool that your getting a Shepherd!! As for some info…http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/germanshepherd.htm 
Good luck!

Can a german shepherd and a chihuahua be friends?
I have a chihuahua named Maya and I want to get a german shepherd because I have always wanted one. We already have one picked out but I am still thinking about it. I am scared that the german shepherd, when it gets older and bigger if it will attack maya.I dont know what to do. Please help.
First off, check what type of breeding you're getting your GSD from before you buy-that in of itself is CRUCIAL. There are West German show lines, West German working lines, DDR(East German working), Czech/Slovakian working lines and American CH lines. The higher the prey drive, the higher the potential for problems later. The working lines are definitely higher drive and have stronger prey drives, which could lead to problems. This may require some time getting educated in the German Shepherd breed as a whole, which I strongly suggest if you're really wanting to buy a puppy.
My suggestion would be to go with a breeding that produces a mild drive(WGR show lines and/or American CH lines). Ask about the litter's parents and their reaction to cats and other small animals(and what kind of bloodlines they have). If the parents are ok with smaller animals, then you have a greater chance of getting a pup who is ok also. We personally raise our pups with our very docile resident male cat from the time they're born so they learn to love him, not wanna hurt him.
That should help you avoid problems before you buy. Generally, if a puppy is raised with a small dog/animal, they will learn to respect that animal. Getting the opposite gender of what your Chi is would be wise, too. I would be equally concerned not to allow the Chi to bite/hurt/harrass the GSD, either! Best wishes!
