- Are there things we shouldn't give our dogs? There are some things that are marketed for dogs but should never be given to them, in my opinion. In this video I walk through the 3 things I will never give to my GSPs and think you shouldn't either! What would you add to the list? Comment below to let me know what else to avoid! I also show you a new toy we got that I love to hate as well as a fetch game hack with two dogs!

I love these GSP videos you make. We have two male GSPs also, and our whole schedule is based on draining their energy, but the hikes, runs, park time and field trips are the best part of my day, every day. Your videos always make me feel like you are in the same boat and you do a great job catching the genuine GSP lifestyle of always needing to be out someplace so the dogs can be running.
You are so kind!
Oh the joy of the wacky GSP! They have such a distinct gregarious high energy play style that few other breeds understand. Your two must love having each other around to get out the zoomies! Good advice on the things to avoid giving them.
CascadiaDog so true!!! And my little one LOVES my older. But I’m not so sure it’s reciprocated. 😆 just tolerated.
This is great advice for any dog.
Love the videos, very informative. I have two gsp's as well and you are correct.
Kongs are great. And cheap toys can be killers. I have Black and Tans now, litter mates. When my last GSP girl passed I just couldn't stand the thought of losing another someday. Well I gave Annie one of the Black andTans a tennis ball to play fetch with, which we did. I took it back and put it on my desk. Well she sneaked off with it unbeknownst to me, several days later we had a PROBLEM. She had eaten the ball, chewed it into pieces and swallowed it. I won't go into details of the extraction. I don't have any tennis balls around. You are giving great advice. Thank you on the part of dogs everywhere.
Thanks for sharing!!! They are powerful chewers that’s for sure!
I have a GSP/Bluenose pit mix and He is amazing. Smart loyal and a total beast outdoors. It doesn’t matter if it’s MTB or running off a dock after a ball. 100% my life partner.
I love this!
I’ve just a 4 month old Molly she’s part Vizsla and GSP the breeder starting to do this a few years ago , she’s lovely, thanks 🏴👍
That sounds like an incredible mix!
i have a gsp/border collie mix…her name is molly….energy is off the chart! She lives for fetch, first thing in the morning, ready to play. i have to force her outside to pee. she’s 2 this month, working on getting her to cuddle….making some progress.
I have a GSP lab mix, she is absolutely obsessed with her Kong ball. Best 20$ I've ever spent
yes!
Yes!😁
Neighbor has a beautiful charcoal grey spotted German pointer. He is so sweet and quiet. I have Shih’tu’s that flip over even though he’s just sniffing them. Commenting because my little dogs can destroy tennis balls too. It can be difficult finding decent balls for them. They’re expensive but the Playology beef scented ones are pretty great.
I'll look into that! Thanks for the tip!
Shortly after I brought mine home, I broke my foot in a rockclimbing fall. That left me stuck on the couch for a few weeks. My doggy exercise method, at that point, sometimes included a laser pen. It worked for a while, but it had a bad effect on the dog. She was smart enough to recognize that the light came from the pen, and she began eating any pen she could find. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that she liked chasing that little red spot too much. It was like doggy-crack. She became too frantic and intense. It didn't seem like play for her. It was visibly unhealthy for her mindset. I ended up putting the pen away and never taking it out again.
Interesting! I Have heard others say this same thing. Good to know!
True all you said..on my second GSP . and toys need to be very strong and quality. my last one did never eat what he tore apart but after a few toys i learned
XRP Little Love very much agree! Mine eat everything 🤦🏼♀️
@@Tammy_Bashore both mine did or do never destroy any other items than what he know is his toy or what i give and say "toy" . can leave my food open in car or house and walk away for hours,never trained for this they just never did :) same with my last one . We call them short haired vorsteh here in Norway but is 100% the same dog . your dogs is like see mine in coulor and ,,yes all playful to the end .. this is my other channel..a few clips there,,here is my previous GSP czcams.com/video/okKgxbGEwaQ/video.html
Cute video!!
@@Tammy_Bashore :) Thx .He deceased 4 of july 2017 almost 14 years old . but i got me another gsp right away..love their mentality . my new one is also at my channel :) bad clips doe :) not asking you to look at all just to point out that there is 2 different gsp by dates uploaded. i Like all your videos ,very good THX..Have a wonderful day u and yours
My 25lb GSP, yeah she's tiny, murders Kong's...antlers...anything. Love them but man are they destructive when bored.
That is the truth!
If you give a small stick to them after they are 4 months or so for chewing no problems with mine, not all of the time of course. Both of mine are champion blood line they could pull a train down the tracks. You can't wear this breed out . Great video I am really attached to mine too!
Distant light good tip!! Thank you for watching!!!
I use a fishing rod with a ball on the end....works well teaching water play.
Stu B sounds fun! But we already have a problem with our oldest trying to chase our bait when we cast a fishing rod for regular fishing! Lol
For hunting training use a small stuffed toy and the scent of your choice, I used quail.
If your GSP loves frisbee like my Otto I recommend the Chewber. It's the only one that lasted more than a day or two. In fact it would take him months of daily use to destroy a chewber.
Thanks for the recommendation!
So, my GSP's 10 months now and he L O V E S chasing a ball - any size! You're so right about standard tennis balls: destroyed almost instantly.... Chuckit! every time; my two have lasted 6 months daily use and are still fine. Have you tried a larger but also sturdy ball? We have horses and Freddie (Farty Freddie...😂😂) just loves their boredom-buster feeder balls. They're like a small football that he 'noses' around at high speed - they're strong and have a little heft cos they're equine safe 😀 I don't put feed inside by the way; no need.
I've never tried one of those! Where can I get one? What are they called?
Try lacrosse balls my dogs, GSP and Lab, love them.
Good to you know!
Yes! I was awakened one night by my Scout making awful choking and gagging houses. He had one of those giant rawhide 'bones'.A piece he had chewed off was stuck Innis throat and swelled up from the moisture his body produced. Luckily I could just barely reach it, I without my removing it I am sure he would have choked to death.
Ugh. It’s the worst sound to wake up too. Poor pups!!
A Lacrosse ball might be a good alternative. When I was a kid, we had a dog who delighted in destroying balls of any kind. He couldn't make a dent in my lacrosse ball and whined with frustration at this insult to his doghood.
Yes,finally i found a youtuber with the same name and breed bently and gsp.YAY!
YAY!
Good basics for me (hopefully about to adopt a young adult GSP). I don’t want him bored.
A bored GSP is a naughty GSP!
Love gsp...very nice 👌 👍
Thank you!
4 years ago Mine was 3 years old and got cancer . When she died I never got another .they are the best.👍
@@mikehiggins5233 so sorry to hear. That’s heart breaking.
Whats the song ? So catchy! And nice video
haha! I don't know! Something I found in the CZcams music library :)
do you have any tips on HOW to train them? i heard they're easy for training so it shouldn't be a problem
Depends on what you are wanting to train for? They are super easy to train. Consistency is KEY.
My friend just got one it’s a puppy he loves it
Puppies are the best!
Habitat 605 - Tammy Bashore it’s a Maltese though and my other friend got this dog my friend stays up all night for his Maltese but my other friends gsp is fine
What are your thoughts on bones? I’ve got some big raw bones frozen that they might like but don’t know if it’s safe for dogs.
I don't give actual bones, so I don't have a real opinion on those - but I have given antlers.
We have 2 gsps! One pure bred, then a year after we got him we rescued a girl :-) they are so different than other dogs, but also so different than each other at times!
Zeus doesn't swim or go in water at all, Holly loves swimming with us. Zeus is very social, loves other dogs but isn't interested in the ball, Holly fetches the ball all day & doesn't care if she sees another dog. Holly is very good & won't run away, sometimes Zeus will be naughty & nick off & wont come back on until we get close enough to him.
Holly is very polite & patient, Zeus will 'talk' until he gets what he wants. But Zeus is gett gentle at eating unlike snappy Holly but we think that's the way she was mistreated before we got her! Gsps are not like other dogs but are an absolute delight & have been such great company for me in iso. Cuddles, snuggles, laughs & fun, afternoon naps & keeping me in a routine with getting up and also going to bed!! Fantastic breed, totally worth the effort!!
Yes! They are so fun!
Cold weather kennel kit inside a suv?
What do you mean? I’m not sure I understand what you are asking.
Mine has eaten every "extreme chew" toy there is any suggestions?
Have you tried the "Goughnut"? Its been a good one for us
@@Tammy_Bashore yup thats what we have. Are all the breed really lean? He doesn't eat a lot and seems skinny lol
The only toy we can give our GSP are Nyla bones or elk/deer antlers. Anything else is destroyed in two seconds. He can’t have bedding in his crate either… Shredded.
Antlers are awesome! Mine love antlers. Careful with the Nyla bones - mine would chew on them and then the nylon would cut their teeth and some would come off and they would choke on pieces.
Habitat 605 - Tammy Bashore Oh yeah, we always supervise him with anything! And we never leave anything in his kennel when we go out, just in case he bites off a chunk and chokes. He’s a CRAZY chewer, and destroys everything! He can’t even have Kong toys and the Tire toys, and they’re practically indestructible.
For the dog
Mine steals my grandparents dogs tennis balls and bust them and leaves yellow pieces everywhere. I have learned my lesson lol
LOL I've learned many of the same lessons.
Hi, very nice video, your dogs are very adorable and so playful. Please can you repeat the first item you mentioned not to be given to our dog?
I've got a pointer, whom I got from a dog shelter and saved, last minute, his life from euthanasia. He's got so much energy, a very loving, intelligent and adorable dog. He's my little boy 😊
Hi! The first item I mention is “raw hide”. They can’t digest it. It becomes a huge problem for them. Just avoid it at all costs.
Thank you for your response. Yes, now I got it. I have never given it a rawhide but I do give him Antlers dog chew as well as the Kong, under supervision. You are right about the quality of balls, they must be stiff.
As well, there are people who give raw meat or bones which I'm very much opposed.
My GSP eats Kongs for lunch! Even the extreme line. The Chuck-its have to be the solid ones or my Petey will have them torn apart in seconds. Love my GSP to death though!!
Oh my gosh! They are beasts!
Mine too. He's 16 mths. I have to admit I do get tennis balls but he doesn't chew those, and he doesn't retrieve so they all get lost in the deep grassland and scrub wherever he drops it.
Can gsps hunt hare?
SHPETIM osmani mine arent specifically trained to but anytime I’m out with them as they see one they take off after it. My oldest used to always catch them in our backyard at our old house.
I have a gsp puppy
They're the cutest!
my dog colour is black and white spot
Why not train them to give you the ball in your hand. It is so easy to train a GSP to do this. My buddy Zeke loves to play ball all day long. He will every time bring the ball back to me and put it in my hand.
Michael Johnson we train them that way for bird hunting. They deliver the birds directly to our hands. But for fetch I don’t like touching slimy balls 🤢. Lol
@@Tammy_Bashore I will agree with that for sure. The ball gets really slimy.. I use a towel for Zeke to give me the ball. Zeke is my grandson so he gets to sleep over a couple times a month. He is funny GSP for sure. My son/ daughter in law took Zeke back over to the breeders they got him from. They said he was in amazing shape. They still had his mother and brother. The brother was a champion show dog. Zeke is a big lap boy and will jump on your lap to prove it.
I love your videos! Even though I have a mix of GSP & American bull dog he is a handful but the biggest sweetheart he's gentle and likes to hug LOL see profile pic. Thank You!
My GSP demolishes wool socks like it’s her job 🙄
Troy D 😆
Hi can you tell me if they’re any good with cats if raised with them from a young age? I’ve always wanted a GSP and I have the opportunity to adopt one now. I have and love cats and I was wondering if I can happily and safely keep them both?
Or can I adopt
all large dogs should not get rawhides
Where did you get the dogs from want one lol I will give $600
lovely angels I am not selling mine ;) make sure you do your research and really understand the breed. They take slot of work and typically cost double what you are offering.
Check the AKC for breed clubs, there may be one near you. NEVER PURCHASE FROM THE INTERNET. Attend local dog shows, you can meet breeders there. Be sure to inspect IN PERSON the kennel or home of the breeder if a hobby breeder that you are planning on purchasing from. Vet verified health certificate from a local to the breeder vet. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM A PET STORE. Many purchase from wholesalers that purchase from puppy mills. This will be your companion for many years, lots of caution and knowledge will save you heartache down the road.

1.Matt Serra
2.Matt Hughes
3.Anyone named Matt
UFC fans get it
That's the only reason I'm here.
They love food and will eat a crumb out of shit
Yup. LOL
