1. The Characteristics of a German Shepherd Puppy and Dog
––––––––
One of the things most people notice about German Shepherd dogs is the fact that they are ranked number one as police dogs, military dogs, bomb sniffing dogs, service dogs, and much more.
The German Shepherd is one of the most intelligent breed of dogs. German Shepherds are very energetic dogs. If you don't give your dog enough exercise and challenge their minds sometimes, they will get restless, and start destroying stuff, or trying to break out, so keep them occupied and exercised.
German Shepherds are great at running and training on agility courses. The German Shepherd is a very loyal dog. They make great family members, and want to be included with the family.
You need to socialize your German Shepherd as early as possible. German Shepherds are suspicious of new humans and other animals, and that is one reason they make great watchdogs. German Shepherd's will tend to dominate other animals, so make sure you socialize your puppy or dog early to prevent abuse of other animals the German Shepherd will live with.
Your German Shepherd when he or she gets older is going to shed on a regular basis all the time, so get used to it. A good brushing twice a week will keep your dog nice looking, and get rid of lots of shedding, but you will still find hair around different places, from the dog shedding.
The German Shepherd has two layers of coats of fur. The under layer, is the insulation coat that helps protect the dog. The outer layer is a thicker coat of hair. The hair color is usually a tan and black color, and the ears are pointed up.
The average weight of a German Shepherd is usually from 60 to 100 pounds, with males usually weighing more. The typical height is usually about 24 to 26 inches tall. A German Shepherd is more than just a back yard pet. You need to challenge your puppy or dog, and make them learn new things with you. If you can enroll in some dog obedience classes, you and your dog will both be better off.
German Shepherds were at one time breed to herd other animals, like cows for example. It is their natural instinct to nip at your heels while you might be walking, and it might feel like the dog is trying to get you. Really, they are just trying to make you go in a certain direction, and they think they are herding you. This has actually happened to me, before I even knew what herding was years ago.
When the movie
Rin Tin Tin came out many years ago in the olden days, the demand for German Shepherd's sky rocketed! Some people did not know that German Shepherd has needed plenty of exercise and challenges, and they had to get rid of their dog, and hopefully to a good home. So make sure you can handle the responsibility of a fun loving loyal dog, which will protect your family, and can help in emergencies, if properly trained, and can be a fantastic part of the family!
2. What You Should Know About Puppy Teeth
––––––––
There is no doubt about it; puppies are going to chew on things! Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth. When a puppy is roughly, 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in. All their baby teeth should be in place by roughly 8 weeks of age.
The puppy’s new teeth are very tiny and sharp, and will hurt your fingers when they get a hold of them. Most mothers will start to wean their babies at 5 to 6 weeks old.
Your puppies baby teeth will start to come out around 8 to 12 weeks of age. By roughly 8 months old, your dog’s permanent teeth should all be in. You should make sure that all baby teeth are out, so that a tooth is not left in, and another one comes in and crowds the space, and gives your dog pain. You would need to visit the vet if you see this happening.
"Your puppy is going to want to chew on something, just like a real baby, their teeth are coming in, and they want to relieve some of the pain. It is good for them to chew, to help the teeth come thru. You would want
