Re: [KENDZ] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

I am a German, so no big deal about the connection and most dog owners are nice people thus making acquaintances is fairly easy. It is to hot in MY (for me); hence, taking care of a high-energy dog seemed difficult to me. Additionally, the local puppies could not excite me but importing one is a hassle and the airfare is killing.

Re: [JoeSmith] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

Joe,

You are right about high energy. My GSD needs to be run every night if she is to have a good appetite.
Its not possible to compare the quality of dogs here with Germany, we are still far behind.

If you do talk to Wolfgang Henke(think he is the president ) again, could you please enquire when is the SV going to have an English Language version of their website? Thanks in advance....

I would have no problem with the dog running but me? I think that exercise is needed not just for the appetite but as well for the wellbeing of the dog.YES, he is currently the president of the SV and I will ask him about the English version.

Hi,

Glad to be able to help. Training by M.K.A. is on a Saturday and Sunday evening at 4:00 to 5:30 and is at the Padang Merbok, off Jalan Gasing. M.K.A. also have a training session sometimes at , 4th Floor of the parking lot. Subang too have a training group near the Subang genaral Post Office and off course the puppy.com group too. You may just see me at the Merbok padang as I sometimes bring my dog there for distraction training.

On verification, I do not think they will let you photo copy anything but you can ask for their kennel name and get some back ground from M.K.A.

If you wish to chat some more you can e-mail me at liteweimer @ yahoo.com

Re: [daniel.woo] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

"Again, KENDZ has a made a good point about all dogs will bark when strangers come to the door and in terms of controlling, it all depends on the owner. A comformaty dog will be much easier to control whereby a working dog will be a liitle difficult. I think realitydreamer will agree with me on this point."

Hi Daniel,

PSY pointed out smth very important which I have missed.Its the handler's ability to control the dog.(Kendz too) Working dogs are generally harder than show dogs so that means some can be a little more difficult to control but with a firm and fair hand, it shouldn't be too much unless you get a working line dog known for extreme hardness. As a newbie,you'e be asking for it. Kendz is right,hardness & high drives are not for everyone. Smile

Hey Kendz,

WHen did start running your girl & how far?

I want to start my boy asap. I read the safest is after 18-24 mths after the elbow plates have closed.Can just wait or take an x-ray to confirm.

Hi everyone;

What started as an enquiry about having a GSD as a pet and a guard dog & the difference between a show line & working line breed has turn out to be very interesting forum for everyone, especially for me. I have benefitted greatly from the views shared and these have helped me to have a better understanding of GSD when I eventually adopt one.

Please continue to use this forum to share your knowledge with us for the betterment of everyone. I hope to meet all of you in person (in the training field) & thank you personally and also to see all your lovely dogs.!!!.

Cheers;

Reality,

How are you? Hope you are well. I started about a month back. Not pushing too hard (for benefit of dog and especially handler!!) Now still about 1KM a night, 5 days a week. Problem with her is that she just wants to chase just about anything! Trying to get her to stop this. She is about 19mths now. Any tips?

Re: [RealityDreamer] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

hi chloe,

interesting topic u have here... very interesting... i have to agree that there's a certain age where u can work your dog and that including running but maybe i'm too impatient... i've started patch on sprinting way back but then i stopped for a while. now back to sprinting again. not sure how far tho... probably few hundred yards till his feet bleed... don't be alarmed... that's the kind of drive he has and he'll keep on coming... my friend run his pit at least 5km a day, that's for stamina and then its sprinting time... planning to get a mill tho... and about the pringpole, still need to find space for it... patch has a job in the house now... hunting roaches... ha..ha.. hey, cool forum... keep it up...

- its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog...

Re: [koolfang] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hey u,

I'm trying to find out wht's suitable at what age. Asking as many ppl as possible. Smile

One of the biggest advantage with pits is that u can do more physicaly strenuous things earlier,compared to a bigger dog (GSD).

Careful with the paws ya. Don't want an infection to start Pirate

5km a day sounds fairly reasonable.

Axel goes for 1-2 km walks in the morning & 2+kms in the evening.I'm trying to limit his jumping. Crazy

Re: [RealityDreamer] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

yeah, better be careful on the jumping... gotta wait for the full development before u jump him... patch is alright but there's one thing i cant make him stop doing... chewing the tip of his tail. now the tip is gone. everytime i come home from work, there's blood... bad boy... gotta get a muzzle for him coz he's licking away the medication (quite poisoness) and continue chewing...

well, wich i can walk or jog him that far but too many strays in my neighbourhood... not a good area to walk a pit, know what i mean... my neighbour juz bought a pair of sharpei, maybe becoz of CNY feng shui, nice dogs...

Re: [koolfang] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hehe. Very hard to refrain myself frm letting him jump. Blush

Try diltuing water & vinegar(make sure its not too strong). Not sure if it will work but it did on my friend's dog. Just pour over the area. Some dogs don't like the smell.

Mayb u could give Patch a taste of wht pits do Tongue

Let's hope the shar peis stay with them & don't end up in the shelter by this time next year.

Re: [RealityDreamer] german shepherd dog (GSD) [In reply to]	Can't Post

ha..ha.. i know how u feel... u still want axel to jump despite the age, same goes with patch... diltuing water? not familiar with it... i tried blue lotion (most pit ppl use) but he licked and bit again.

yeah that guy had a mongrel once and now the mongrel is roaming around the neighbourhood and he's not sheltering him. hopefully the sharpei will have a better life.

anyway, i'm having 2nd thoughts about patch. few nights ago while i was walking him, a mongrel confronted patch with a growl. patch wagged his tail which i think is good but when the mongrel snap his jaw near patch's neck, patch curred. maybe patch is too young. i'll test him again end of the year, then i'll decide... he has weak bones as well. he wobbles while lifting a leg to pee... really sad to see a pit curr...
