Im getting it below rm180 for a 13kg bag. Recently i mixed it with natural balance as i just couldnt resist the result after temporarily given him NB when eagle pro was out of stock then.

Im getting em at a slightly lower than the discounted retail price. I dont think outside is selling any price lower than this.

What about yourself? Which do u feed urs with?

Ceser Milan, bless his heart, is what many consider an 'old school' trainer. Many of the ideas he has are considered outdated - dogs don't see their human masters as the leader of the pack, for one thing. There's a whole new school of thought when it comes to training dogs nowadays - read up on positive reinforcement.

The Dog Whisperer episodes shown now on hyppTV are 2009 to 2010. Caesar already used positive reinforcement on selected dogs only. His critics who are not employed by any tv station mostly say it is wrong to use threadmill, wrong to put dog in even big cage, wrong to tug the dog leash a dog to correct it, cruel to kick a dog lightly to the side to snap dogs aggression, wrong to walk a dog less than 1 hour a day and cruel to show who is the boss to the dog.

I think some of his method are still OK and acceptable like if you are moderate family and working time is 8AM to 5PM, look for medium energy dog which is the follower to suit your style. On the book that I have mentioned he do teach how to see puppy behavior are high energy, medium energy and low energy (I didn't get anything from promote his book hihihi biggrin.gif ) Plus for the middle income family like me, we not yet affordable to register for the training. The cheapest way is go threw reading, watching, try and error.

If not buy from pet shop or breeder then get from where? 

the ones i seen in june with parents are from pahang from indian breeder. the rest all don't have.

the pahang man have a batch of puppies and very big space for them to play.
he got show and working dogs. bythe time i went back to check all sold out end out last mth. 
i am also member of 2 facebook group -dog for sale-adoption  and pets for sale in kl and slangor.
unfortunately many are not telling the truth. when i go to see the advertiser, they say the dog sold out. they their best to tell me to take other dogs because fit me and my partner more better. some even told us gsd are more suitable for indians and not us (chinese).

  to tell you the truth, i and my partner am a bit sick of all this groups. 

for about 3k  i might as well get direct from ben sabelle or the pahang family.

Bro. Green Hulk,
Do you mind share the Pahang breeder info? (You can PM me if you want to) From what i read from in this forum, got a breeder in Genting, Pahang also not bad but i don't know which part of Genting and what is their contact number.

1. There really isn't such a thing as 'large boned', 'small boned' dogs. I'm not sure where the usage of this term started, but breed standards never advocated that a breed (any breed really, not just GSDs) had to have 'large bones' to be a good example of the breed. More and more, it's being used by backyard breeders to sell dogs to people looking for large, intimidating dogs, whether because they think this makes them better guard dogs, or maybe because they have small penises and feel the need to compensate by getting a huge boner.

2. Hip dysplasia is a problem for many large breeds that are badly bred. It's tied to genetics, i.e. parents with hip dysplasia will breed puppies with a high chance of the same problem. That's why hip scoring is important - the dogs are x-rayed, have their hip scores taken, and are only bred if the scores meet a certain standard. Again, the problem you see today is by and large due to bad breeding by backyard breeders, who don't take precaution against hip dysplasia. They breed to make a profit, and will breed dogs with bad hips, resulting in puppies with bad hips, that get further bred, resulting in worst hips. That's why hip dysplasia plagues popular breeds the most - Golden Retrievers, GSDs.

How do you avoid this? Get your dog from a breeder who checks the sire's and dame's hips before breeding them. Say no to backyard breeders.

3. Specifically, for GSDs. Hip dysplasia becomes a huge problem in showline dogs due to the effort to breed a dog with an excessively sloping back. You're specifically breeding for dogs that have bad posture - why is it surprising that these dogs end up with hip problems and can't walk properly?

If you still have your heart set on a showline dog, please make sure you ask about the puppy's parents hip scores, and whether they are health tested before being bred. Bear in mind that getting the parents tested cost money, which trickles down to you as a buyer. That's why good pups will cost more, always.But that's the price of having a healthy dog.

Or you could get a cheap, backyard bred dog, and then either dump it when the health problems become apparent, or pay thousands and thousands to a vet to give your puppy a better life.

Hopefully, that's helped a bit in your efforts to get a dog. You have my utmost respect for the amount of research you've been doing. Most people I see simply visit a pet shop and grab the first cute puppy they see without thinking twice.

I seemed to have missed this reply! Thanks. My family and I are still looking around for the right puppy for us. We have been warned about some dealers not selling pure gsd.

My GSD now 1 year 8 months, looks fit.....not too thin.....feeding him 600grams per day (250g in morning, 350g in evening). i definately feeding much much more than recommended by the kibble guideline. His stool consistent is perfect.

do you guys follow the feeding guide behind your kibble bag? If no, you feed more than recommended or less? Can share?
