U will have one soon ... Do some survey n homework before getting one..

I also hope to get more when I'm more capable in future.. I love dogsssss!! Big ones!!

Ok. White is nice but not easy to maintain especially if they love to play with water and if they were to be placed outside .. But someday I hope to have a chance to live with a white shepherd.

My pup stopped when he was 6-7 months old. But he still ransacked d rubbish n food up to the age of 1 yr 3 months. Now he's totally good. But he's very fierce towards strangers .. My friend's GSD are very friehdly though.

However he's quite obedient, I believe he need more training to take instructions properly.

Will bring him out more often with the muzzle on.

If I were I would choose GSD. Hahaha. Coz I don't quite like rottie

Well one just needed the experience to choose a dog for oneself. Maybe can get some experienced ppl's advise and at d same time do some research first.

And it's always best to be present to choose a dog / pup at the breeder's place and make sure u r getting the same pup during d pick up.

In my opinion, family dogs - should try to get either a golden or Labrador instead of a GSD ...

They r more friendly and able to accompany the elderly n children, where else GSD is an active dog that needs lotsa activities.

GSD are also more rough compare to retrievers ...

They can just jump on you and their weight will push u down. So it's a bit too risky for children n the elderly. They are very very strong dog.

Yes training is essential.... :-)

Haha ok ok. Just share what I know of k.

For bone - best is exercises , can bring him for short walks to strengthen his hips muscles . And no slippery floor . I think swimming is even better.

Skin & coat - can supplement him w coconut oil / fish oil.

Which dog food r u giving him? How do u find it on him?

For flea - I use bayticol however since yours is still very young, maybe frontline should be safer, however I don't think frontline is that effective to kill fleas. As I have tried on all my large breed dogs but it didn't seem to help much, only a little. But I heard some vets say bayticol is safe but I'm not sure myself how safe it is for small breeds or puppies. But it's really effective.

One thing you should note down is, after killing n removings all ticks n fleas get him a tick collar for prevention of ticks n fleas. Make sure to wash n clean ur surroundings with bayticol. I'm not sure if Clorox helps in killing ticks not but u can try using that to clean the surroundings where he stays or sleeps on if u do not have bayticol for the time being.

Tick can cause tick fever , but I rarely and can say that I never seen that happen in humans here but it could.

U can use something to press them dead or use a match stick n burn em off, this is a better decision. And clean ur home with Clorox perhaps if not bayticol. Cz they can stay alive for 6months if I'm not mistaken. So u need to make ate to get rid of em permanently before it reproduces more n more later on.

I got ticks bites too! And that's even scarier the ticks was on my bed sleeping with me and on my body biting me. Pretty scary though. And the marks are still on my body even after months.....

Isn't it the small ones which r red in colour? Do y know ticks can crawl? Ha ha ha, I saw one crawled up to the wall of my room and another big fat one crawled up to the ceiling in my toilet, I'm unable to kill that coz it has already crawled too high up.

Frontline is safe as far as I'm concern. So no problem even if the pup licks it but try not to allow him lick immediately after u spray. It should somehow but toxic but it should be the safest for pups.

Make sure u spray it on the scalp , not on the hair.

Yea u try with Clorox n see if it helps for your floor, if it doesn't then u gotta get some bayticol n spray at d corners or the place where u found the ticks.

Clorox anywhere also can get ma. 99 market, any sundry shop aeon definitely has it.

Yes frontline on d skin surface .

Maybe theres microchip inside d dogs. Possible lost and not abandoned.

So far i find bayticol d best for ticks n fleas.
