Hi everybody,
I read this site by accident and I am really surprise that you guys must read more about GSD.  Let me give you guys some tips before buying a GSD.
1.  According to the god father of GSD, Von Stephanitz, all GSD are breed as working dog.

2. Always ask to look at the puppy parent before buying the puppy.  You will get a better picture how your dog will turn out to be.  If the parent has some schutzhund titles you are almost sure of getting a dream dog else you might be getting a bad deal.

3.  If someone claims to be a good trainer/breeder, ask he/she how many years has he been training dogs and very very important question, ask what seminars/competition has he participate.  Did he/she win anything?

4.  If possible, try attenting some training seminars before buying a dog.  You will never regret it.

5.  Always remember that you buy a dog to protect you and your family.  The temperament is very important, look always come last.

Hi Logan,

Can you tell me where can I get the Rhodesian Ridgeback?

I think everybody should love their dog but to what extent?  If you guys really like a first hand look at some GSD lovers, please go to Ipoh when the schutzhund competition take place. 

These people bring their dog to the highest level possible the dog can acheive.  They will eat, sleep, play and train with their dog.

They will tell you what a GSD look like and I can tell you only a handful of trainers/breeders dare to go to this gathering.  Only the real GSD will be there.

Try to talk people who take part in schutzhund competition and you will know why you can confused yourself with working and so called showline dog.

since u guys r greatly informative in each line, does any of u knw any idea of mixing this two line? cuz some says its not good but some says after they breed the result is great. i dunno about that. but me myself i like both line, but not so like mixing the line. cuz jz incase it might bring genetic problem. so any comment on this?

Hi Guys,

Every breeders/trainers can claim they have so so number of years in breeding and training GSD.  They always said they have the best dog but they don't have time for competition.  These are all liar.

A good breeder/trainer is judge by the number of title (schutzhund for GSD)  and experience in training not by number of dogs he breed.

Most to MKA showline GSD is breed for show ring only.  Most of them  do not possesses mental stability, trust, confidence and fearless.  This is one of the reason why they cannot compete in Germany.

I just want you guys not to be cheated by these people and put more stray dogs in the street.  Don't buy a Benz with a proton engine.

Hi,
I think you guys have got me wrong.  When I said don't buy a Benz with a proton eingine, I'm mean all GSD are Benzs.  The different is the model, E200, C350  and etc.

When you buy a GSD puppy, make sure the parent have schutzhund title.  People who breed showline GSD, know very well their breeding might not stand the test in schutzhund because the main and desirable characteristics are not there.  A dog that can't move fluently and don't have a nice anatomy can't enter for schutzhund trail.

These characteristics also lacking in most working line GSD.  Don't be fool and think all working line GSDs have it.  Their parent too must have some schutzhund title.

For a GSD to be able to train in any sports, they must have the drive to work.  If they don't have the GSD characteristics they can't perform.  A GSD can't do well in any sport if they don't the drive.

Don't be fool to think that all imported dogs are good dogs.  The Mat Salleh won't sell you a good dog if you pay peanut.  That's why some imported dogs don't have schutzhund title.  You pay peanut you get monkey.

Training a GSD with good characteristic is no rocket science.  There are lots of training video in internet.  If your dog have the drive to work, you will see what I mean.

A GSD who has a high drive doesn't mean a high energy dog.  Must not confuse high drive with energy.  A cow have high energy but no drive.  See what I mean.

If you don't want to spend some money and time to do some research into getting a good GSD, get a dog from SPCA.  Do some research in the internet before buying.

I am not against anybody who want to buy a showline or working line GSD.  This is a good breed but I know lots of breeders/trainers/puppy mills are murdering it by selling some bad puppies

Hi,

I think you are dead wrong about the high drive dog.  A trained high drive dog don't go around biting car or making noise. 

I think any dogs will do some biting and making noise.  Are they high drive?  Anyway do you understand the word "drive"?

Only a fool will think all working line have the characteristic of a proper GSD.  But only the working line can produced a good schutzhund GSD that can compete in WUSV.

So you really do not understand what is 'drive'.  If I don't own a high drive dog, I can't be telling you about drive.  I do not know how many years you have been keeping GSD but I can tell you one thing, you know nothing about the real GSD or anything about training it.  Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have been competing in show ring, schutzhund and obedience.  Have you try any of these sports or you have been very busy?

I have got nothing against GSD owners here but only the bad breeders/trainers that I am against, understand?

Your dog will have bad legs if put mable.  Put wood, your dog will chew eveything up.  Best do with rough concrete.  Your kennel don't allow air to flow.  More like a sauna house.  Make more hole for air to flow.  To low to keep the dog inside.  Best dimension 6'H x 6'D x 8'L.  Don't get offended, I just giving some suggestions.

how to increase the fierceness of a gsd ? my gsd always kena bully by my mongrel dogs =.= eventhough those mongrel is smaller than her.

Guys, i would like to have some suggestions from all of GSD lovers,
What is The Best Dog Food for GSD?

Some breeders used to give Eukanuba, they said it contains lots of protein, but many vets suggest to take Royal Canin, i also got some info from other forum which said that to avoid food contains with corn and meat by-products.

So WHich one is the best suited for GSD??
THANKS
