Hi,

gsd tend to be territorial and bark at stanger at later stage. maybe around 1 year old. during puppy time, it is all play and sleep. dont worry, as soon as they know this is their territory, i am sure you will just wish for your dog to keep quiet. lol.

while in the toilet, give some toys or whatever to stimulate her. if not it will be very boring and stessful.

hi, welcome to this thread
cherry's ear is standing up so straight!!! looks so wonderful. congratulation!!!
i oso hv browe through PAT NATHAN's kennel in search of GSD. hehe. notice that they breed working line more isn't it?
so cherry is a working line GSD?
will b send her to biting sleeve class?
if yes, pls do post up lots of photos share with us ya. thanks

Yeah she's a working line GSD, hopefully one day she can grow up to be a good guard dog.

Yep you guessed right, will be sending back to Nathan for guard dog training.

She's in the middle of obedience training now.

I got her a 'Ruffian' tough rubber squeaky ball for her to play while alone in the bathroom.

Did a trial today, she's does make some whinning sound at first, but after that is mostly 'squeaky' sound ...hhaha

Guess that kept her occupied.

Oh ya... to those GSD pup owners out there, it's crucial to know that ...

Heartworm lifecycle
1. Pup may get infected by heartworm through mosquito bite
2. The larvae matures after 6 months into heartworm and will latched to the pup's heart
3. Worm will continue to breed within host (female is 30cm in length, male is 20++cm)
4. Mosquito that bite host can retransmit larvae to a new host

Preventive Measure
1. If your puppy is below 6 months old and above 6 weeks old, you can administer monthly heartworm medication. This will kill immature larvae while it's in vulnerable state & continue to give protection up to 30 days.
2. If your puppy is above 6 months old and never had a single heartworm medication, please seek vet's aid to perform blood check. Monthly heartworm medication is ineffective to mature worms. Vet will know how to deal with this situation, i guess.

Hope this helps...!

nice info u got there!!
ur gsd ..how many months now??and u sent her to obedience training? i tot it would be better to sent after 6 month or 9

how much does it cost for the blood check?

She's reaching 4 months old now and I didn't know that minimum age for training is 6/9 months.

I sent her to a 'macha' (brother in tamil) recommended by Nathan, he taught her real well and she picks up pretty well.

Currently she's able to ...
1. Sit
2. Down
3. Recall
4. Stay
5. Down + Stay
6. Down + Stay + Distraction
7. Up
8. Pawshake

Will post up some videos in youtube soon, really proud of her.

Sorry I don't know the price for that, but you can call up your nearby vet to inquire.

enjoy. next round i post up germans dog. sorry ar, trying to poison those new gsd ppl. haahaha.


Attached thumbnail(s)

ur female on heat? planning to sell?? let me know..
btw. 1 thing that bother me on getting gsd is.. their look when they r young.. they will look mature when they go above 1.5years?
and not to offence on the pic above.. those gsd r the same gsd? and how old r they?
the bottom left pic is the one i find ok for a gsd.. others r alil too skinny?
thats why if u got a gsd that's not a quality breed.. i think their looks can go

im sorry if i offended anyone.. but that's my opinion

Hi,

ahahaahha. dont worry. these are all not the same dogs. i think the ages varies from 9 months to 4 + here. in the top left, the gsd male is dropping lots of hair ( seasonal) that is why look like that lol. all types of breed need 1 year at least to be fully mature not only gsd. only after that time , you can see the true potential. so when you go buy a puppy at 2 months old and the breeder tell you this will be a champion, you better slap him la. almost impossible to be 100% correct on how they might look. but to expert eyes only la. i bet all gsd look almost the same to you???

haha.. nah, i dont think all gsd look the same..
but i would preffer to get those gsd that u imported.. (few pages back)
btw there r others gsd that looks "ugly" for me,. but yet they r still champion!
look at http://www.tigerlandk9.com/
