For older dogs we only schedule a meet and greet with approved applicants, and then only if the animal is already in state. We do NOT allow meet and greets with other dogs at ANY time, as 5 minutes in a driveway will not tell how animals will react after proper decompression practices are followed. If a slower adjustment period is needed, we are happy to extend the return policy to ensure proper introductions, we just ask to be kept informed of the process to offer help along the way. We also do not allow sibling adoptions. There are many articles on the internet that fully explain this occurrance. Please contact us directly through email or messenger for any questions! Please see the Foster Page and Application for further details, contact us with questions! This may not apply to puppies that were not old enough at time of transport to be tested or given all shots. BBTB is not responsible for other diseases or issues that may arise after the quarantine period, as we have no way of foreseeing or controlling those situations. All animals are also treated topically for fleas and ticks, but please keep in mind that it can take up to three weeks to take care of any issues that may be present. In the case of puppies, we may not have been able to treat them due to age. We do our best to prevent the spread of fleas and ticks. Also, in the case of puppies, most under the age of 6 months are likely to have parasites, despite being dewormed. It takes regular deworming to eliminate parasites, so the adopter should plan on getting a fecal test done shortly after adoption to see if there are lasting parasites. As for older dogs, they are required to have a fecal test before transport, but they may need another round of testing and dewormer as well, depending on the life cycle of the eggs, as the test only detects active parasites, so it may take another dose to dispel them all. It is the responsibility of the adopter to provide this care and respective treatment if necessary. The State of Maine requires that all animals being imported into the state be quarantined for the following periods before they can be formally adopted: Animals 6 months and older 48 hours, under 6 months must be quarantined for 5 days. Once the quarantine period has passed, as long as there has been no sign of any issues, then the adoption can proceed. The final paperwork showing transfer of ownership will be sent to the adoptive family generally within two weeks after final adoption. In the case of puppies that need to be neutered or spayed, if the dog requires boosters or there is a time sensitive issue the paperwork will be sent to the adopters beforehand, otherwise it will be sent within two weeks after the procedure has been completed. The records are emailed directly to the address on file. Hard copies are only sent upon request. They are usually sent within two weeks but may take up to that amount of time. If you are adopting an animal that has not yet been altered, you will also be required to bring the animal to the Gray Animal Center at 55 Portland Rd in Gray ME at the date and time you are given by the rescue. Blessed Be the Bullies determines when the animals will be altered according to information provided by our veterinarian. If the adopter does not abide by this policy and does not bring the animal to GAC at the time set, we reserve the right to take possession of the animal with no return of funds paid. Should it be necessary for the rescue to regain possession of the animal, the adopter will be liable for any expenses incurred by these actions, included but not limited to fuel costs, boarding fees, or any civil or legal fees that may be created by such actions. We do not pay for an animal to be microchipped anywhere else. Animals need adequate time to adjust to new living situations, and behaviors can change from day to day. Payment is due in full before the animal will be released to the adopter. Electronic payments must be made at least 24 hours before pick up, cash may be paid the same day. Please read below for details on payment policies, as depending on the situation, different policies may prevail. For dogs that are located in state already, the balance of the adoption fee must be paid before pickup. PIck up is generally scheduled within 24 hours of commitment. The deposit will be applied to the total for the animal adopted. For dogs that are located out of state, the balance of the adoption fee must be paid before pickup, however the adopter may wait until transport has been arranged. We try to have this done asap, but must coordinate with our transport companies, so this timing is out of our control. If the adopter decides not to proceed with the adoption, the deposit is non refundable. Depending on the situation, it may be applied to a different animal. The return of the adoption fee may take up to two weeks to process. It will be returned in the same way in which it was paid. Should the animal be injured in any way, the entire adoption fee is forfeit, and depending on the level of injury the adopter may be liable for vet costs incurred. If within 7 days after the date the adopter takes possession of the animal, if it is decided that the animal is not a good fit, the adopter MUST contact the rescue to make arrangements to surrender their animal. Do NOT drop off an animal unannounced please. The rescue must be given adequate time to find a place for the animal to be transferred to. If the return occurs after 7 days, there will be no refunds issued. Blessed Be the Bullies retains the right to determine whether the adopter will be allowed to transfer funds to another animal. Should the adopter and the rescue feel that the animal needs more time to adjust, the 7-day policy may be extended. This is at the sole discretion of the rescue. The availability of an animal is not guaranteed, we often have many applications for the same animal, and timing can depend on how quickly the application might be approved. We do our best to update our website as soon as animals are adopted, however, the presence of an animal on the website does not guarantee adoption. Please contact the rescue with any questions about a specific animal. Processing time for an application depends on how quickly responses from references are received. We do our best to get quick results but suggest that references are notified to expect contact. No animal will be released to anyone outside of our organization until all references have been checked and the applicants have been approved, and the full adoption fee has been received. We do not offer a payment plan. We accept PayPal or cash. We do not accept checks. Other than cash, all payments must be made in full, and the final contract must be filled out and submitted before the animal will be released to the adopter. Please note, even if an applicant has been approved, this does NOT guarantee adoption. Adoption will occur at the sole discretion of BBTB, and they reserve the right to deny an applicant at ANY time during the process before the placement is complete. If an adopter is unable to pick up the animal on the day they are scheduled to, they need to contact the rescue to see if boarding is available. If the animal being adopted is already located in state, pick up is generally scheduled within 24 hours of the adoption being finalized. Even if the adopter knows where the animal is located, the rescue will make the pick-up arrangements. If the adopter is unwilling to pay the boarding fee, the animal will be made available for adoption by someone else, and the deposit fee will be forfeit for that animal. It is up to the discretion of Blessed Be the Bullies as to whether the adopter will be allowed to use the deposit for an alternate adoption. The deposit will not be refunded under any circumstances. We try our best to communicate clearly when animals will be available for pick-up, but we must work within the schedule of the transport companies and the quarantine periods. This is out of our control. Please keep in mind these animals have already been through so much, the best thing for them is to just be able to go straight home! If it is determined that the decompression policy available at all times on the website was not followed, or that the animal needs veterinary attention there will be NO refund of any kind given. After 7 seven days there will be no refunds given no matter the circumstances. Since we are primarily a bully breed rescue, there is a good chance they may have some of that breed. We supply the information we are given at the time the animals are listed on Facebook, our website and other animal adoption sites, however it should be noted that this information is purely an estimate. This also applies to the ages of most animals. If there are questions, please contact the rescue before applying! At any time during the lifetime of the animal the adopter decides that they cannot keep their pet, they must consult with the rescue before taking the animal to a shelter, giving the animal away or having the animal euthanized. This rescue makes a commitment to every animal they adopt out that they will be safe in an approved situation. We understand that situations arrive that may be out of the adopters control, and we will do our best to help with any issues if we are able to. If the adopter has someone else willing to take the animal, the new potential adopters need to go through our application process first before the dog is released into anyone elses care. Should this policy not be followed, the rescue reserves the right to reacquire ownership of said animal though legal channels if necessary, with the original applicant being responsible for any and all such costs incurred.

If you fasten it too loosely, it may easily fall off. If you do it too tightly, it may be uncomfortable for your pet. Head Piece Attached When the headpiece is completely attached, your dog should look like a wacky character of your choosing! Make your final adjustments to ensure that the piece is secure on his head and not too tight. If your pooch is uncomfortable, or not used to wearing headwear, he may try to take it off, so comfort is key. Check to see if there are any Velcro straps in the front and fasten them. Remember that candy unless specifically made for dogs is not good for dogs, so you might want to bring a few treats of your own if you plan on taking him with you or your kids for a round of trick or treating in the neighborhood.
Breeders VS. The sad truth is that many pet store purchased pups actually come from puppy mills. Basically, there is zero authenticity with pet stores. When it comes to adopting any animal from a pet store, there is an increased risk of unforeseen health or genetic problems. You also cultivate a life-long relationship with the breeder, meaning support is available to you anytime you may need it. With My Golden Retriever Puppies , you have the option to come and visit both the puppy and the breeder in person! Golden Retrievers are an adaptable breed, meaning they are better at adapting to seasonal changes and various types of climate than certain other breeds. Goldens sport a double-coat, which ensures that these sweet pups are able to tolerate slightly colder temperatures than their friends from other breeds. Your pup deserves better than that, which is why here at My Golden Retriever Puppies , we ensure high-quality care is taken of your pet at all times.

This can take years for some dogs, and it happens on stages. They have straight hair when they are puppies. When their hair grows longer, it can be curly or wavy. There is a small note I must mention here; there is a difference between their hair being wavy or curly and their hair being flat. These are two very distinct cases and we will not discuss the latter here. I discuss what you can do to make their coats as glamorous — and yes, fluffy- as they could be. You easily tell whether their wavy coats are normal or not by checking their parents and really checking their coats. If you have gotten your dog from a good breeder, chances are they will have the full history of the parents and the coat types. If one or both of their parents had wavy coats, then it could be genetic. When is a wavy coat not normal? Sometimes, however, it will not be because of their genetics or nature and it can be traced to something else. Sometimes goldens with curly hair may suffer from a lack of coat growth and the reason may be a problem with their diet such as: Not getting enough nutrients Too much food Too little food Also, it may be because they are not receiving proper grooming or they are not active enough. If they eat good amounts of high-quality foods that give them the nutrients that their body needs, they are active, they have daily exercise, and they have a proper grooming routine, their coats should be perfectly healthy and normal. It is normal for a Golden Retriever to have a wavy coat. Bred to retrieve game on land and water, they need to be ready for harsh conditions like the cold and wet. Whether your dog has curls, waves, or straight hair is down to genetics. A wet Golden Retriever gets cold and tires quickly, which is no use for a dog bred to work hard in the great outdoors. It is entirely normal for a Golden Retriever to have wavy hair. In fact, if your Golden Retriever has flat, loose, open fur, it may not be a true Golden. Golden Retrievers were bred as hunting dogs; they have a dense, thick warm undercoat that insulates them and keeps them heated. The water-repellant topcoat lies flat against the body like a snug jacket and can be straight or wavy, depending on the breeding. However, Golden Retrievers can have issues with their coat, such as excessive fur loss. Golden Retrievers are usually double coated. They have an undercoat of short, dense fur to keep them warm and a coarser wavy water-repellent overcoat. The undercoat acts like Velcro to keep the overcoat tight to the body to keep the heat in and the water out. The Golden Retriever has two significant shedding periods a year but will shed continuously to a lesser extent, which can mean extra work for you. Some dogs shed more than others. Dogs kept outside in a kennel will generally shed less as they are exposed to the seasons. Depending on bloodlines, some Golden Retrievers naturally have thicker fur than others. Dogs bred for showing tend to have thicker coats than those used in hunting. Diet And Nutrition Ensure your Golden Retriever has a healthy diet as this can stop them from shedding too much. As advised by your vet, a healthy diet will keep their skin — and health in general — in good condition. Omega 3 supplements might help to maintain healthy skin and coat. Grooming The Golden Retriever requires regular brushing and grooming. This is not a dog for those who like a low maintenance pet or the very house proud as it sheds a lot — predominantly twice a year in spring and fall, but also all year round to a lesser degree. Brushing your Golden Retriever should be part of your routine from a young age to get them used to it. You may find this time together becomes part of your bonding process. Suggested — Best Dog Brush For Golden Retrievers Brush your Golden two to three times a week to remove any loose hairs, which will otherwise end up on your carpet. While you are at it, make it a habit to check teeth, nails, and ears. Keep Them Clean Your Golden is a muck magnet and loves nothing better than playing in water and mud, as you are probably well aware. It helps if you have an outside tap to hose off your dog after running around outside in the dirt. Keeping your dog clean is essential as dried-on dirt can irritate the skin, causing problems. A hose down with fresh water when they are muddy is sufficient. Try not to bathe your dog too frequently, as they can lose some of their natural coat oils. Always use a special dog shampoo as human shampoo can dry out their skin. Ensure you dry off your Golden Retriever thoroughly as wet fur can become a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to skin infections. This is especially true with Golden Retrievers as they have such a thick coat. American Water Spaniel. Improper Grooming I have talked about the importance of grooming your Golden Retriever in several of my articles, and I will stress it again here. Brushing your Golden Retriever regularly is a must! I highly recommend daily brushing to remove any dirt, debris and tangles. Not only does brushing stimulate blood flow, but it distributes natural oils to help keep the coat soft and shiny. It promotes hair growth as well. Bathing regularly is important as well to keep the coat clean to promote new hair growth. By not brushing or bathing your Golden regularly, you are allowing dirt and debris to build up, as well as oils, which can make the hair appear wavy or curlier than normal. Also, matting can occur which is super painful to your dog. This is especially true around the ears. My Golden Retriever, Ellie gets crimped ears and the hair along her butt becomes super curly. It turns out that the curls actually serve a purpose! But, many owners have issues with matting behind the ears, because hair tends to be curlier there. Again, brushing is important, to avoid mats from forming. Golden Retrievers who are bred for show tend to have longer and finer coats, whereas those bred primarily for hunting tend to have shorter, wavier coats. Regardless of whether wavy or straight, all Golden Retrievers have a double coat, meaning they have a topcoat and an undercoat. This double coat plays an essential role in what Golden Retrievers were primarily bred to do, hunting and retrieving waterfowl. Without the dense, water-repellent, wavy topcoat, and insulating undercoat, a Golden Retriever would get cold quickly and tire easily when doing what he was bred to do. In recent years, many people have started favouring the long-flowing coat of a Golden Retriever. While a long, soft and silky coat might look beautiful, it is not functional or typical of the breed. According to breed standards , excessive length, as well as soft coats are undesirable. Golden Retrievers are primarily hunting dogs and should be shown in working condition. Whether your Golden Retriever has a wavy or straight coat, you will need to take proper steps in order to keep his coat healthy and looking its best. Feed a nutritionally balanced diet. Do not feed too much or too little. Use supplements such as Omega 3 fatty acids to help nourish skin and coat. Brush and bathe your Golden regularly. Exercise daily. A change in hair texture, however, could be a sign of an underlying health issue, and you should consult your vet. Does your Golden Retriever have curly hair? What about crimped ears? Let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear from you! Jenny I am the proud owner of a Golden Retriever named Ellie. She keeps me busy, and when she is resting, you can find me working on my blog. She is always close by though. I live in Stirling, ON Canada with my husband, and we both enjoy the never a dull moment life with our Ellie. Spread the love. Nutrition Grooming Golden retrievers with curly hair are very different from other dogs with curly hair such as Poodles, Labradoodles, or Bichon Frise. Golden retrievers will typically only have curly or wavy fur on certain parts of their bodies, specifically their backs and around their tails. If they are fed too little or too much, their fur may stop growing as quickly which will then cause the fur to become wavy or curly. Thank you Emily T. A lot of dog owners are aware that a non-purebred dog may have different characteristics than a purebred. This is true for Golden Retrievers too! Purebred Golden Retrievers typically have slightly wavy hair, especially if they have longer hair. Their fur will wave or curl up around certain areas of the body such as the back, tail, or ears. Purebred adult Golden Retrievers typically have straight hair on their face and legs. Oftentimes in the dense fur of the rest of their bodies, especially their backs, they may develop small masses of wavy hair that is sometimes even tight and curly. If your Golden Retriever has mostly flat, straight hair with no wave whatsoever as an adult, likely, your dog is not a purebred Golden Retriever! However, there are certain Golden Retriever mixes that will still develop curlier hair on their legs, ears , and tails but not as much in the places that purebred Goldens will have it! Thank you, Karen B. In most cases, if your adult Golden retriever has curly hair it is likely to stay that way for its life. There are a few things however that have helped owners get a bit of a smoother look. Be sure to use a pet blow dryer , a regular blow dryer will be too hot. Use a high-quality conditioner when bathing. Embrace the waves and curls. If your Golden Retriever has always had curly or wavy hair, this is probably caused by genetics and is no problem that you should worry about! If your dog suddenly begins to develop curly or wavy fur, there could be an issue with their coat such as fur loss or even something more serious such as an underlying health condition. Keep in mind, however, that like humans, dogs can experience a change in hair growth and texture during different stages of their lives. Like humans, dogs experience different hair phases during their lives, here are the three phases of hair growth in dogs: 1. Anagen Phase — Active growth of hair 2. Catagen Phase — Phase where the hair stops growing 3. If you notice your Golden Retriever losing a lot of hair, there are several reasons for this including underlying health issues or even common problems such as stress and anxiety. Hormones Thankfully, there are many options a veterinarian can provide that will get your dog to better health in no time! TIP: If you notice your Golden Retrievers fur has suddenly become curly or wavy, or your pup is losing hair or pulling it out, it is best to take them to the vet to check up on their health! If there is a buildup of oils from a lack of bathing or brushing, a Goldens fur is likely to become wavy. NOTE: If a Golden is not being groomed properly it can also become matted, this can become an issue if left for a long time. A change in hair texture is also common if your dog has lost fur or has had to have a section of fur shaved perhaps for a medical procedure. This is why some owners are very cautious about shaving their dogs and become nervous if their dog has to be shaved for any reason. NOTE: It is more likely for double-coated dog fur to grow back in a different texture than it is for a single-coated dog because a double-coat can be easily damaged, this is why Golden Retrievers are not usually completely shaved. The dog could develop issues such as sunburn, insulation problems, or even skin infections. In general, a lot of Golden Retriever owners do not shave their dogs. It is not common for a dog with a double coat to be shaved. Not only because their fur will likely grow back different, but because their coats are specifically designed to regulate their body temperature. Golden Retrievers have some of the best-looking fur of all the dog breeds, this is why Golden owners tend to want to keep their dogs fur looking the best that it can be! Regularly grooming a Golden Retriever can also keep their fur in great condition! It is recommended to brush a Golden Retriever at least once a week and to bathe them every 6—8 weeks depending on how dirty they get and the length of their hair. There are several important steps to take when bathing your Golden Retriever to ensure that their fur comes out looking great after their bath, here are a few key things to consider: Rub over the dry fur first with a wet hand to remove any loose or dead hair. Use a shampoo that will not irritate your dog and that helps in maintaining oil levels. Be sure to use a conditioner, especially if your pup has curly fur! Dry your dog with an absorbent towel. Double-coated, and especially double-coated curly-haired dogs hold more moisture in their fur than other dogs! TIP: Using a wide-tooth comb, or a steel comb on Golden Retrievers is best since their fur is double-coated, this helps prevent tangles and mats, while also getting rid of loose hair, dirt, and dead skin!

Nadelhaus breeds purebred German Shepherds year round and we also import both German Shepherd puppies and adults direct from Europe for our clients. Long-haired German Shepherds are technically called a long coat German Shepherd, while a short-haired German Shepherd is called a normal coat or stock coat German Shepherd. Dogs with either coat have the same physiological structure and both have double coats: an undercoat and a top coat. The only difference between the two is the top coat. The long haired German Shepherd will have a heavier top coat than the undercoat. The double coat of a German Shepherd is an important feature of the breed. The double coat weathers and insulates the dogs—it protects them from the cold in the winter and the heat in the summer. The length of the coat of a German Shepherd has no impact on its ability as a working dog. What does a long haired German Shepherd look like? The skeleton and structure of a long-haired German Shepherd will be the same as a short-haired German Shepherd. Both dogs will have an undercoat, but the difference is that the top coat of a long-haired German Shepherd will be longer. The long coat GSD has longer and silkier hair on the chest, back, face, tail, and on the backside of its legs. Short on the head, including the inside of the ears, on the front side of the legs, on the paws and toes, somewhat longer and more strongly covered in hair on the neck, almost forming a mane. On the back side of the legs the hair extends to the carpal joint or the hock and forms clear trousers on the back side of the haunches. Historically, German Shepherds originated in Germany and were native sheepdogs. He firmly believed that the standard of the German Shepherd breed should not include dogs with long hair. Throughout the s, long haired German Shepherds were considered unsuitable and unacceptable for breeding. It is important to note that long-haired German Shepherds are the result of natural genetic diversity and not a separate breed. Their long coats are an inherited trait that can occur when both parents carry the recessive long-hair gene. This gene manifests as a more luxurious and abundant coat, offering a striking contrast to the traditional short-haired German Shepherd appearance. The breeding of long-haired German Shepherds follows the same rigorous standards and principles as their short-haired counterparts. The focus remains on maintaining the breed's exceptional temperament, working abilities, and overall health. Over time, breeders recognized the value of long-haired German Shepherds and began selectively breeding them to maintain and enhance their unique characteristics. Through careful pairings and strategic breeding programs, the long-haired variety established itself as a distinct and cherished branch of the German Shepherd breed. How big do long-haired German Shepherds get? Long-haired German Shepherds are structurally the same as short-haired German Shepherds, therefore they can both grow to similar sizes. Males: inches tall, pounds Females: inches tall, pounds Since both German Shepherds are physiologically the same, they also have the same temperaments: loyal, intelligent, energetic, courageous and protective. German Shepherds are ranked 2 on the AKC Breed Popularity list and make for wonderful family companions and working dogs. How can I identify a long-haired German Shepherd puppy? In the photo below are two litter mates from a recent Nadelhaus litter. The puppy on the left is a long coat and the puppy on the right is a normal coat. The long coat has wispier hair on the chest, back, face, tail, and on the backside of its legs. Long-hair female German Shepherd next to short-hair male German Shepherd. Genetically in German Shepherds, the short hair gene is dominant and the long hair gene is recessive. This means if two short-haired German Shepherds are mated, but neither carries the recessive long hair gene, then no long haired puppies can be produced. However, if two short-haired German Shepherds are mated and both carry the recessive gene, then long-haired German Shepherd puppies can be produced. Long-haired German Shepherds are considered a less common variant of the breed, adding to their allure and exclusivity. While short-haired German Shepherds dominate the breed standard, enthusiasts of long-haired Shepherds appreciate their unique beauty and elegant appearance. Due to their rarity, finding a reputable breeder or rescue organization specializing in long-haired German Shepherds may require some research and patience. However, the joy of owning one of these beautiful dogs is well worth the effort for those who appreciate their longer coats and exceptional qualities. Do long-haired German Shepherds shed more than short-haired German Shepherds? No, this is a common misconception. Although they shed less than short haired German Shepherds, their coats still require regular maintenance. They will need regular brushing and grooming, especially if you enjoy hiking or outdoor activities with your GSD. While it is a rare occurrence for a long-haired GSD to not have an undercoat, most of them do have undercoats. And just like short-haired GSDs, their undercoats will shed more or less throughout the year depending on the season. Should I trim my long haired German Shepherd's coat? The decision to trim a long haired German Shepherd comes down to personal preference, but it is not a necessity. Trimming can help make for more manageable living around the house. If you choose to trim, you can trim around the backs of the ears, on the back of the legs both front and back and then thin the bushy tail. Shaving a German Shepherd on the other hand is never recommended. Their double coats help keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. What are long haired German Shepherds called? Regular brushing: Long-haired German Shepherds require regular brushing to prevent matting and tangles. Aim for at least a few brushing sessions per week to keep their coat in good condition. Finish your brushing session with a gentle dog brush to clean up loose hairs. Bathing and drying: It's important to bathe your long-haired German Shepherd as needed, using a dog-specific shampoo. Be sure to thoroughly rinse out all the shampoo to prevent any residue. After bathing, use a high-velocity dryer or a cool air dryer to dry their coat thoroughly, as moisture trapped in the fur can lead to skin issues. Professional grooming: Consider taking your long-haired German Shepherd to a professional groomer for occasional trimming and coat maintenance. A groomer can help keep the fur around sensitive areas, such as the paws and ears, tidy and reduce the chances of matting. Watch for seasonal shedding: Like all German Shepherds, long-haired ones will undergo shedding seasons. Be prepared for increased shedding during these times and brush your dog more frequently to remove loose hair. A de-shedding tool can be helpful in managing shedding and keeping their coat healthy. Remember, each dog is unique, and the specific care requirements may vary. Does Nadelhaus sell long haired German Shepherd puppies?

What Sets Us Apart We know that German Shepherd breeders are a dime a dozen, and that good breeders are as easy to find as poor ones. One of the many things that sets us apart from the crowd is devotion to puppy raising. At Austerlitz Shepherds we practice passionate puppy raising. We devote ourselves fully to raising each and every puppy in our care. Every litter has two full time puppy raisers, Susanne and Rebecca, both experts in training, behavior, and early puppyhood development. We work tirelessly to ensure our puppies benefit from the excellent genetics they inherit. We understand completely that our hard work creates lasting benefits to the behavior and health of every dog we place. Here is a short breakdown of just what you get when you join the Austerlitz Shepherds family. We knew upon first exposure that Puppy Culture would improve our already rigorous puppy raising protocol, and we have been joined by some of the best breeders in the world because Puppy Culture has fast become the Gold Standard in puppy raising. From early neurological stimulation, emotional stability exercises, teaching puppies to communicate needs politely, handle frustration with aplomb, early positive crate training, and early toilet training, Puppy Culture builds a calm, confident, and adaptable puppy that is a pleasure to add to your family. Training: Our professional trainers start teaching puppies life skills like Manding asking politely , toilet skills, crate skills, and how to settle down. We also introduce basic training skills like sit, down, hand target, attention, leash walking, and coming when called. Crate Conditioning : The Crate Conditioning protocol we designed is so popular we now teach it to other breeders, fosters, and new puppy owners all over the world. We introduce crates early, condition puppies to see their crate as a wonderful place to be, play lots of crate entry games, and build tolerance to confinement. We teach puppies early that crates are a safe place to enjoy their favorite things. This will help make transitioning to your home less stressful for everyone. Early crate conditioning prepares puppies to grow into dogs who are calm and confident when crated even away from home at trials, shows, or when traveling with your family. Car Conditioning: Puppies are socialized to vehicles. They learn that vehicles are fun to climb into, fun to play in, and safe enjoyable places to relax. Puppies receive several vehicle exposures, including at least 1 hour in actual driving time. This prepares your puppy to be a confident and happy traveler that can easily accompany you to shows, trials, or for long family trips. Just Long Enough: We keep our puppies a minimum of 9 weeks and a maximum of 10 weeks. German Shepherds often experience a strong fear imprinting period around 8 weeks. This makes placement at 8 weeks riskier for long term behavioral health than placement after 9 weeks. By placing in that golden window between 9 and 10 weeks you avoid the risk of transitioning during a fear imprinting period, yet the new family still has several more weeks during the Critical Socialization Period to socialize your puppy to your own individual lifestyle. Sure, this is more work for us, but with the help of Puppy Culture, our crate conditioning, and toilet training protocol, we are able to make the most of this extra week. New owners benefit from a slightly more mature puppy with more training, crate, and toilet skills. Argent and Snapdragen all loaded up and ready for a road trip to their new homes in Ohio.

This extends beyond pedigree research, sound breeding practices, and health testing and into how we raise our puppies. Everyone loves puppies, they are so cute and sweet, but did you know there are important developmental periods your puppy will go through before ever joining your household? In our desire to raise the most behaviorally sound, confident, and stable puppies possible we implemented the game changing Puppy Culture puppy raising, training, and socialization protocols almost seven years ago and are extremely pleased with the long term benefits our puppies, and their owners, get from this evidence based program. To learn more about Puppy Culture watch this video. We have also developed our own cleanliness training program to ensure our puppies learn house training foundations and are easy to house train in the new home and Crate Conditioning program that focuses on creating confidence while confined and ensuring our puppies are easy to crate train. During this time puppies needs consist of a caring mother, warmth, grippy and dry bedding, and lots of time for the hard work of growing. Our work is lite during these day since GSDs are excellent mothers, consisting mainly of ensuring the puppy box is warm, dry, and draft free and the dam has all the privacy she wants. Highlights of our work during the first 21 days. Stable puppies have Early Neurological Stimulation started on day 3, puppies who are struggling in any way have Simulated Maternal Stimulation 3. As soon as puppies start urinating on their own a designated potty zone is introduced as the earliest foundation for our cleanliness training process. Dam is allowed as much privacy and rest with her puppies as she desires. We start conditioning the puppies to enjoy grooming by gently stroking them with a soft human baby hairbrush. Nails are trimmed weekly from week 1 through send home. Box is kept clean, warm, and private to ensure our dams are happy. A content and relaxed dam is our goal early on. Bottles are offered to puppies in very large litters, or any puppy who needs a bit of help gaining weight. Very large litters will need a larger area, this area also has a baby potty zone. One of our four foundation females, Eyleen. Zap making it clear she would like privacy with her newborns Andeigh and her puppies. By week four our puppies are up on their feet, walking, starting to interact and play with each other, and the critical socialization period is underway. The dam is needing to spend more time away from her puppies, and the puppies start learning about how to be a dog from our skilled, puppy loving, nannies. The nannies role in socializing the puppies to the ways of dogs is invaluable. While the tasks and work a skilled breeder does are too many to list, here are some highlights. Puppies are moved to a larger, more interesting area, and cleanliness training continues with a designated toilet area. Puppies are offered solid food Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy three times per day dam can still nurse the puppies at will in large puppy pans. Group feeding at this age fosters enthusiastic eating. Regular socialization opportunities with our skilled puppy raising nanny dogs, and with us. Grooming soft brushing and nail trims continue. Puppy Culture work continues please look over the link for more info on the PC work. In the heart of the house the puppies have more opportunities to become accustomed to household sights, sounds, and have lots of opportunities to socialize with us and the nannies. Puppies have meals offered three times per day now, at first in a puppy pan, and in later weeks in individual bowls in crates. We are continuing to work with the Puppy Culture protocols and this work will continue right through until send home, as will cleanliness training, and socialization. Puppies build confidence through a rotation of age appropriate experiences Puppies learn that a caregiver leaving them is normal, as the dam comes and goes at will, teaching puppies to trust in caregiver return. At week four puppies continue learning to prefer being clean by using a potty zone. Skilled puppy loving nannies help the puppies learn trust different dogs. Puppies learn to enjoy resting in crates from week 4. Puppies learn to potty outside when they have access to our spacious puppy patio via a doggie door starting at week 5. Different types of toys are rotated daily. Puppies learn to form bonds with humans through frequent, predictable, and enjoyable interactions. Things get busier and busier as the weeks go by, there is so much puppies need to be exposed to and learn to love, in these first few weeks that benefit them throughout their lives. Putting in this work is our number 1 priority during these formative weeks. While there is too much to mention, some highlights of our work during weeks 6,7,8 are: 1. Socialization to environments call the Enrichment Effect , people, and dogs is in high gear. It is not enough that puppies are exposed to things, they must form happy and positive associations with these things to feel confident about them in the future. So we curate our puppies daily lives, showing them exactly what is age appropriate and ensuring they learn only what is beneficial for them, this work is laid out for us in the Puppy Culture protocols. Our Crate Conditioning program is started. This work focuses on creating calm and confident feelings around crates and confinement in a curated and incremental manner. New families receive a complementary enrollment in our crate training course for the new puppy owner. Cleanliness training continues, we will add a litter box to the indoor potty zone and puppies will now have access during the day to the outdoor puppy patio via a doggie door from their pen. The large area also decreases bickering and tension between puppies. Of course all new families will receive complementary enrollment in Poop School: House Training. Sound Conditioning: At weaning we start pairing all types of sounds with playtime, mealtime, and other fun activities this teaches puppies that random sounds are fabulous and mean good things are going to happen. Puppies also have access to the outdoors via the puppy patio and so can habituate to the ambient noises of our location livestock, wildlife, road noise, human noises, mowers and tractors, etc and since their puppy corral is in the heart of the house they are also exposed to all the noises of our busy household. While it is not beneficial for puppies to be pushed into learning skills like an adult dog, there is benefit to curated learning of some important life skills, and further as part of the Enrichment Effect we focus on helping puppies learn how to communicate needs to us in a socially acceptable way Manding , to love to problem solve and seek out novel experiences Enrichment Seekers with us and their environment, and how to use their behavior as a path to reinforcement. Confidence building continues Confidence builds as puppy have a variety of age appropriate experiences Socialization with new people continues Puppies learn that new people are awesome and trustworthy Puppies continue to learn that crates are for resting, eating, chewing and are happy places to be. Puppies learn to love being crated. Through a thoughtful rotation of age appropriate activities At week 5 the doggie door to the puppy patio is opened and puppies can go outside To potty, play, and rest on our spacious and safe puppy patio. Play is learning for puppies, puppies raised in experience rich environments grow into smarter, better adjusted, and more confident adults. Puppies become braver and more capable at each activity. To build confidence in the car, puppies have time to play and travel in the car. Nail trims, and brushing, teaches puppies these are normal activities No mealtime is wasted! Here puppies learn to eat outside. Using lick mats early gives new families a great tool for later training. Lick mats are great for crate training Puppies learn to love a variety of pacifiers.

Increase in stress hormone levels We want our puppies to have the best start possible. So we ensure our sires and dams are provided what they need to be happy, relaxed and not stressed out. Some just love relaxing in the shade with their favorite ball Some of our dogs love watching tv with their favorite toy or nursing puppies The Neonatal Period: 0 — 14 Days: Did you know Newborn puppies are helpless and respond only to warmth, touch, and smell. They cannot regulate body functions such as temperature and elimination. But amazing changes are taking place in their little brains and their body weight will double by 10 days. We take advantage of this period by neurologically "jump starting" the puppies when they are between days old. Military in their canine program developed a method in an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio Sensor" was developed. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the sixteenth day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development. The "Bio Sensor" program was also concerned with early neurological stimulation in order to give the dog a superior advantage. Its development utilized five exercises which were designed to stimulate the neurological system. Each workout involved handling puppies once each day. The workouts required handling them one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. Listed in order of preference, the handler starts with one pup and stimulates it using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup. It is not necessary to see that the pup is feeling the tickle. Time of stimulation 3 - 5 seconds. This is an upwards position. The pup while on its back is allowed to sleep. Time of stimulation seconds. Place the pup on the towel, feet down. Do not restrain it from moving. These five exercises will produce neurological stimulation, none of which naturally occur during this early period of life. These exercises impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected, the result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance. Benefits of Stimulation The benefits that have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises are: Improved cardio vascular performance heart rate Stronger heart beats More tolerance to stress Greater resistance to disease In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations. Secondary effects were also noted regarding test performance. In simple problem solving tests using detours in a maze, the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, whined a great deal, and made many errors. Their stimulated littermates were less disturbed or upset by test conditions and when comparisons were made, the stimulated littermates were more calm in the test environment, made fewer errors and gave only an occasional distress sound when stressed. Puppy Culture, Transitional Period: 14 — 21 Days. In this amazing week We see the puppies transform. Their eyes and ears are open, but sight and hearing is still limited. Tail wagging begins and the puppies begin to control body functions. They are becoming real puppies who can toddle, and play. During this time Did you know that puppies have developmental periods, and those developmental periods are defined by behavioral markers? It is important for both breeders and puppy owners to be able to correctly identify these behavioral markers, because something that is extremely beneficial one week, could be very harmful in the next week, depending on what developmental period the puppy is in. The period between the time the puppies eyes and ears open is known as the Transitional period. This is because useful vision and hearing are thought to be necessary for puppies to enter into the next period of development. This week we offer fresh goats milk in a shallow pan for the puppies to start lapping up. For the transitional period these are tactile items the puppies can explore by scent, sound, and texture. Enriching the environment optimizes brain development and is continued until the puppies leave for their new homes. German Shepherds develop very quickly and have a strong desire to be clean. As soon as their eyes open they will attempt to move away from their sleeping area to potty. This helps the puppies to define a sleeping area and a potty area preserving their natural desire to be clean. Clean puppies are easier to house train later, and have fewer accidents. We continue to adapt the potty area from potty pads to litter pans as the puppy's grow. The Critical Socialization Period: 3 to 12 Weeks Did you know The critical socialization period in dogs begins at just three weeks old, and is over when the puppies are 12 weeks old? And, the prevention of common behavior problems begins when the puppies are just three weeks old? What does it take to socialize a puppy? The Enrichment Effect Puppies receive an expertly enriched environment, in which the benefits will last a lifetime. This continues every week until the puppies leave. Here at Rodina Straze we are truly dedicated and take full advantage of the Critical Socialization Period, to help each puppy be the best it can be. Activities by the week Puppies are introduced to solid foods and their area begins to expand. The litter box is introduced Puppies begin receiving visitors as socialization starts. Startle Recovery exercises prime puppies for the challenges of a busy life. Foundation exercises for the prevention of separation anxiety. Nails are trimmed weekly so puppies become accustomed to body handling and grooming Week 4 Puppies are moved into a larger weaning pen, with age appropriate enrichment. Crate training starts. Crates are introduced to the weaning pen doors removed , comfy beds are placed inside to encourage puppies to nap in the crates. RS additional training and experiences We have a beautiful screened in porch area with age appropriate enrichment equipment for the puppies. By opening the door from the inside puppy area the puppies can come and go as they please. This area allows them access to fresh air and sunshine at an early age, yet they protected from the elements. They also experience all the sights and sounds of being outdoors as people and cars go by. Puppies also spend time with our cat "Jack" and Chihuahua "Phoebe" as they both love puppies and this accustoms the puppies to other dogs and cats. Week 5 Puppies learn to communicate with us in socially acceptable ways. Puppies are taught what is called "Manding" which is an automatic sit in front of a person the puppy is interacting with. It is not a required behavior, or a rule, but rather an acceptable behavior taught to replace jumping on a person. Clicker training starts and puppies start learning their core skills: Attention, Manding asking politely , and Come. Fear starts: At five weeks puppies are for the first time, capable of experiencing true fear. We expertly guide the puppies through their fear period, avoiding any experience that might cause lifelong fear problems, and building more emotional resilience as we go along. Crate Training continues puppies are encouraged to run into their crates. We also begin to feed the puppies lunch in their crates. Barrier challenges are introduced, to help the puppy learn to problem solve and handle frustration. RS additional training and experiences Puppies are introduced to the "Skinner Box" Puppies are moved into their outside Puppy enrichment building and yard during the day. This specially designed building and yard allows them to have room to run and explore at their own pace on different surfaces and obstacles in or outside. Puppies spend time in their puppy yard with our Chihuahua "Phoebe" getting them accustomed to small dogs. Session are kept short, puppies have naps and learn to relax when visitors come over, all skills they will need in their new home Puppies get to practice their training in real life settings, they get to Manding ask politely for petting instead of jumping. Puppies show off their enrichment seeking abilities and build confidence on novel object challenges. They learn to love strange and unusual footing, heights, and noises. Puppies nap in crate with door open. Eat and have chew time in their crate with the door closed. RS additional training and experiences Scent games are started to imprint hunt drive. Puppies are exposed to the car and short car rides. Marker words are introduced We start chaining behaviors in fun short training sessions Week 7 Problem behavior prevention protocols are started. We teach the puppies to LOVE having someone take their food, food bowl, toys, bones, and other items. This helps prevent resource guarding later. RS additional training and experiences This week the puppies are brought into our training center and begin working on more formal skills. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. We have all of our breeding dogs genetically tested, independently scored for hip and elbow health, and evaluated by a qualified veterinarian in order to determine if they are not only able to breed, but able to breed in a way that is safe for them and safe for the puppies that they will be creating. Our puppies get all of our free time and plenty of specifically budgeted time for them too. We raise them to be stellar family companions and future competitors in any venue. They receive Early Neurological Stimulation and Puppy Culture in order to give them the best start in life so that they can go on to succeed in the ring, and more importantly, as an excellent addition to your family. The difference is that, while we love the chamipion lines and buy and breed them too, we also go the extra mile to make Champions. All of our dogs that we breed are titled in some way. In fact, we ensure that all of our breeding stock is not just titled in conformation how they look , but also in some kind of sport that holds value to the breed. Some buyers don't see the point in this when they are just buying a family pet, but by working hard to title our dogs before breeding we ensure that the breed is still capable of being the amazingly built and high performing dogs that anyone familiar with the breed has come to know and love. These titles don't just prove their work ethic, but also ensure high trainability for your future puppy. I was able to choose my pup and breeder had knowledge of what I was looking for and suggested just the right dog for me. My pup is almost one and flying through different training skills. Eager to learn and her health is top notch. I highly recommend zeitgeist GSD to all! Was given useful information and education on why or why not a German Shepherd was right for our family. Brianna and her family are amazing and very helpful. So glad our paths crossed and we got to add Echo to make us a family of 7. A waiting list will be created at the announcement of the breeding. The order of selection for the puppy will begin at 5 weeks of age starting with the first buyer on the waiting list or the buyer that selects to have Pick of the litter. The buyer has 48 hours to select the puppy from the time breeder notifies the buyer. The selection can be made in person or internet. Once the puppy is selected, the buyer will forward a non-refundable deposit with in a week of selection. Timely selection of the puppy is to ensure the subsequent buyers are able to make their selection in an expeditious manner. No puppy will be release before 8 weeks of age under any circumstances. Please do not ask. There are several reasons: first being that puppies generally have two fear period one at weeks and the other around 9 weeks within the first 12 weeks of life. Secondly the Puppy Culture Process takes 10 weeks to complete so your puppy is on it way of being well behaved adult so the final 2 week will need to be completed by the buyer. A DVD will be provided. If the Buyers prefers, I will keep the puppy for the final 2 weeks and finish the Puppy Culture training. Puppies will have a veterinary health certificate and be current on vaccinations when they are ready for their new home. The puppies will be wormed at least one time prior to leaving us. Shipping: The buyer is responsible for all shipping cost to include the transport crate, flight cost, delays, kennel charges and any quarantine. The buyer assumes all responsibilities for the puppy once the puppy is checked in at the airlines. The same applies if the puppy is returned to the breeder, the buyer assumes the cost of shipping old puppy pup back and getting a new puppy from us. Balance due is required prior to delivery of the puppy to the buyer. Should the buyer not pay the balance due, unless prior arrangements are made with the breeder, the buyer shall forfeit their right to the puppy and the breeder is free to sell the puppy to a new buyer without any obligation to the buyer. As a requirement, the buyer must feed a high quality puppy food until the puppy is 18 months. The rating of the dog food must be at least 4 star rating. The puppy will be in excellent health and has health certificate. The buyer must take the puppy to their own veterinary within 3 days of receiving the puppy. The buyer will send a copy of the veterinary report to the breeder. Referrals Get to Know Us.We are not mass producing German Shepherds. We have a few litters a year, and all of our dogs are raised in our home. We believe that raising pups in our home versus outside in a kennel, benefits their overall development. Our pups are well socialized and desensitized before leaving our home. All of our puppies are exposed to children, a wide variety of people, other dogs, and cats. We do this, all in hopes, of handing off the best puppy possible. We health test ALL of our dogs prior to adding them to our breeding program. We take pride in what we do, and we do it with lots of love and care, just ask any of our StrongArm Families! We wanted to be different than the other breeders out there, we wanted to make sure that we stood out.We wanted our owners to remember their experience here at StrongArm German Shepherds, and even brag about it.Thats why we decided we needed to focus on the experience. We strive to be the breeder we never had, one that offers lifetime breeder support, yearly reunions, and one that our families will never forget. We strive to be the best breeder we can be.And we feel that shines through in our StrongArm puppies! During the playdates, our common love and passion for the breed sparked an incredible friendship, and so began our adventure together.Highly knowledgeable on German Shepherd's and the whole process of getting our puppy was awesome. They walked us through everything. Even got puppy play dates prior to picking up our new little one. They are awesome!! Thank You Tim, Amy, and Jamie!! Kendra D. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. Prenatal Stimulation - Petting the Dams abdomen activates the parasympathetic system. Facilitating relaxation, emotional attachment and socialization. Puppies from a petted mother have greater tolerance to handling than puppies from a mother that is not petted. We use the T-Touch method on our dams to release tension and induce relaxation. Biotinus Testing - We start getting to know our puppies immediately after birth by performing the Biotnus test also known as the vigor for life test. Combined with other tests and observations, we get a better understanding of each individual pup and their potential future. Early brain development is enhanced by created more neuro synapses. This early stimulation has significant lasting effects, which include improved future performance, as well as the ability to withstand stress better than non-stimulated pups. We provide gentle daily handling from birth, which has shown to improve a pups ability to thrive. Daily touching exercises helps desensitize pups to being touched in various ways, resulting in low body sensitivity. From birth, each puppy is imprinted and nurtured with individual attention. We rub their toes, massage their ears, put our fingers in their mouths, etc. This allows for positive association with people and conditioning for future tugs, pulls, bumps which may occur in their environment. It includes behavior patterns which are developing, attachments to people, and preferences for stimuli they have been exposed to. We assist this process with various stimuli, activities and handling, so that the puppies will have low fear, low anxiety and high confidence during this critical time frame. We also work on bonding and separation exercises. We want our pups closely bonded to humans and strive for an equal balance of dependance and independence. We begin early nail trimming and grooming exercises resulting in good long lasting behaviors. Environmental Enrichment - Research shows dogs raised in a sensory rich environment develop thicker cerebral cortexes, have more synaptic contacts between neurons and have higher levels of neuro-endocrine transmitters in thier brains than those raised in a non-stimulating environment. The results show that dogs raised in an enriched environment tend to be more inquisitive, adept at performing difficult tasks, and are more intelligent because of their experiences while young. We take the pups outdoors frequently and provide positive reinforcement for proper elimination. Puppies are well on their way with basic house training if not completely house broken by 6 to 8 weeks of age. For behavior training we provide a foundation of good behaviors. We try and introduce crates into their environment for early introduction to crate training. At about weeks of age we start individual play sessions, where we learn each puppies personality, strengths and weaknesses. We begin leash walking and individual property walks by 7 to 8 weeks of age. We want your dog to be obedient and trainable in every aspect, but able to be loyal and loving family member as well. On the farm, our pups are exposed to people, traffic, loud noises including gun fire , different types of flooring and dogs of different sizes, as well as horses. They have an excellent foundation to move forward with confidence. Puppies are evaluated and temperament tested in attempt to place them in the best possible home. All of the puppies are identified with color codes collars from the moment they are born. This allows us to keep track of each puppies growth and health. We used thick, rubber flooring over linolieum, as a base of our whelping pen. As our puppies grow, so does their immediate world. First by the expansion of their indoor pen. And, with the addition of toys, objects such as beds, a litter box, and climbing objects. We have seen our puppies using the litter box as early as 2 weeks of age. This makes the transition to using the restroom outdoors much easier for them. As soon as the puppies begin eating, they are generally ready to begin exploring their outdoor world as well. This is when we really begin to see their personalities develop. We have strict guidelines for visitors with our puppies, that must be followed to avoid outside contaminations. This provides great early socialization for the pups, and, allows for their new owners to receive some early bonding time. Puppy Culture is a program used by Breeders and Puppy owners, all over the world to improve the lives of their puppies and to limit behavioral issues by helping puppies to cope with and move past things that would otherwise cause issues as adults. We believe Puppy Culture is a valuable resource for caring and ethical breeders, along with new and old puppy owners, rescues, and is a fantastic add-on to attending a good puppy preschool. Breeders especially, by using Puppy Culture, you can improve the lives of your puppies with just a few minutes each day and it dramatically makes a difference when comparing a puppy raised by Puppy Culture vs a puppy raised the alternative non puppy culture method. Less issues, more brain development, more bonding, more balance and the ability to adjust better, why wouldn't you! Fits the puppy The Puppy Culture Exercise Booklet is an important guide to raising a puppy in a healthy and safe way. If every puppy owner would read and follow these guidelines, a huge number of behavioral issues and fractures could be avoided! Indispensable for new puppy owners, and great wisdom and guidance too for breeders to pass along in puppy packages. Puppy Culture takes into account all the things that we have always believed in and done and puts it in an easy to follow puppy raising manual! We are now utlizing this formal foundation for rearing our puppies. Because we switched to a structured program, you can easily pick up the exact same structure once the puppy goes to your home. Puppy Culture is focused on the first 12 weeks.Puppies learn about pottying in the potty tray when inside and preferably outside, so this helps the transition to potty training when they go home. Puppies learn about crate training while they can still do it with the security of their siblings at first, and later as they learn to be comfortable crating on their own. Puppies learn about clicker training when their brains are little sponges soaking up information. They learn to do things to get things, which is the foundation to a solid adulthood. They learn to sit, down, stand. We play scent games with some of the puppies. They learn touch. Puppies learn about "Come" from their first meal. Meals are moved around to different places with different footing and obstacles. When we blow a whistle during their first few meals, they quickly associate the whistle with the food. As they grow older, the puppies learn find the source of the sounds the whistle.Every family goes home with an exact whistle so that they always have that great recall. We include all types of environmental exposures, manding focus and attention , socialization and the best part is you can continue raising a puppy the puppy culture way once the puppy arrives at your home!!!

The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. Its eyes are dark and almond-shaped but never protruding. The ears are wide at its base, pointed, upright, and turned forward. However, it is natural for German Shepherd puppies under about six months to have ears that droop slightly. It also has a bushy tail that reaches below the hocks and hangs down when resting. There are three varieties of the German Shepherd: double coat, plush coat, and longhaired coat. It has a double coat made-up of a thick undercoat and dense, slightly wavy or straight outer coat. Most German Shepherd dogs have tan and black or red and black hair, medium in length and tend to shed all year round. There are some other, more rare color variations such as solid black, solid white, liver and blue. The white coat version is recognized as a separate breed by some breed clubs and is called the American White Shepherd. A piebald color has also occurred and is now being called a Panda Shepherd.

The breed requires an active lifestyle and makes for an ideal companion, protector, and guard dog. Very devoted to its family and home and usually maintains a suspicious demeanor around strangers. German Shepherds can be dominating and assertive towards other dogs, though normally friendly with other pets in the home. Therefore, it is important to begin training your dog beginning as a puppy in order to avoid negative behaviors later. Exercise This breed is very active and athletic. It requires a lot of physical and mental exercise. Without the proper amount of exercise, it can become frustrated and develop negative behaviors. Participating in canine activities such as agility, herding, tracking, and diving is great exercise and fun for the dog. Training Puppy socialization and training are critical, as well as continuing obedience training to ensure the puppy will become a well-mannered adult. The German Shepherd is a highly intelligent companion and extraordinary worker. Use consistent and positive reward-based training for best results. Grooming The German Shepherd sheds regularly and is a heavy seasonal shedder. As a result, it is best to brush them daily. You only need to bathe them when necessary, however, as over bathing can cause skin irritation from removal of oil on their skin. Check their ears and trim their claws regularly. Origin The German Shepherd Dog originated in Karlsruhe, Germany from longhaired, shorthaired, and wire-haired local herding and farm dogs in the mids. Its now famous qualities of intelligence, agility, speed, stealth, and courage were developed not in a police or military academy but in the sheep pastures of s Germany. The breed gained popularity in the United States during the early s due to the canine movie stars Rin-Tin-Tin and Strongheart. Unfortunately, because it is among the German breeds including the Dachshund it suffered a decline in popularity due to anti-German sentiment during and after both world wars. However, due to the rise of modern livestock management and the decline of herding as a dog occupation, von Stephanitz promoted his breed as an ideal K-9 worker and today is therefore the preferred breed for police and military units all over the world.
