Conservative Talk I have a 10 year old male German shepherd, not fixed...if I could go back in time I would have got it done. He's never bred and I feel it's cruel to keep him intact but never let him have a female. My 10 month old Rottweiler will get fixed at 2 years old. They say for bigger dogs 2 is best age as the body and dog mentally are fully mature. Maybe if I decide to breed him I'll keep him intact, but most likely fix him at 2.
German Shepherds are beloved for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility, making them cherished companions, loyal protectors, and invaluable working dogs around the world. With proper care, training, and socialization, they can thrive in a variety of roles and environments, enriching the lives of their owners and communities.
I have a black and tan male GSD (and a black female GSD on the way) and they are amazing dogs! Absolutely love the breed, hopefully I’ll always have one by my side until my time comes to leave this world. 💘🐕
I have a liver/red sable female and it blows my mind how much she looks like a wolf! Watching her work a scent or blood trail its majestic! They are the absolute best breed of dog! They are the leatheman of dogs they can and qill do anything feom hearding, to hunting to tracking to police work to working with kids! They are amazing!
My girl has the cutest defect of having the tiniest lower front teeth. They look like her baby teeth still! They are a little crooked, and it looks really cute. My GSD also has a straight back, thank god
Never had one. Got one. Then got another one. Mine are out of Rescue, and while yes they had a few issues, they are so smart, they easily trained out of them. If you are considering one, please look into rescue. Go to someone that specializes in GSD, this way they can help match you, to the right dog for you.
Most German Shepherds Dogs I’ve seen and worked with have been nervous, skittish, and highly sensitive/reactive… Breeding has been compromised, but when done right results in a super incredible breed!
@@OakwiseBecoming I agree. If you get a GSD, you need to realize that it is a working, high energy dog. They're smart and full of energy. If you don't vent that energy through exercise, training and/or playing, the dog will find a way to let that out.
@@OakwiseBecoming mine had really bad anxiety. Bad bloodline I’m guessing but my wife and I really got him turned around. He has a few bad days here and there but he’s a lot better then he used to be
Its definetly not most german shepherds. Wtf you talking about?😂 You were probably working with american showlines. They are always neurotic and shouldnt be considered german shepherd at this point. Working lines are perfectly fine
So true on the slope. They are finding lost of knee issues from that damn slope. Personally I hate the look. I have heard that they are starting to breed out of it. I do hope that is true.
i mean yes and no the dogs with the real issues are the american line german shepherds. you could find healthy sloped backs but theyre not as obtainable for a few reasons. what you want is a working line either ddr or czech lines. closest thing to the original gsd
First of all, they show mainly American-bred German Shepherds with sloped backs that cause hip dysplasia. Secondly, the German Shepherd was NEVER a sheep herding dog. It was bred by a German Captain (Von Steffanitz) who wanted a dog that could be used as a war dog as well as a dog that could send messages between camps. I own a GSD, and I love the breed. This video does not do it justice.
Yes, most people don't know there are Shepherds out there with strong original German breeding. I was lucky enough to actually find one with German bloodlines. I have seen German Shepherds that are really a step down from the German lines. They are small, don't have the muscular build and bones like iron that the German lines do.
@@saddleridge4364 If what you say IS true.....; would you please care to elaborate more regarding your dog, where you got it from/the breeder who bred your dog so that people MAY know and get enlightened & make more informed decisions the next time.
I know this is an old thread, but for those people still watching this and reading these comments, the above comment is incorrect: the GSDs in this film are almost exclusively West German Show Line dogs, not American! They even show clips from the Sieger show in Germany! The "sloped" back (as it's described) does NOT contribute to hip dysplasia. There is zero connection. This "sloping" topline is often exaggerated due to the way the dog is stacked when standing. Straight shoulder assemblies, over angulated rear structures, flat withers, steep croups can also do this. The GSD is a trotting dog, longer than tall, with angulation in their structure, not straight and almost square like a Labrador. (Too much info to get into here.) The GSD was a herding dog (hence the name "shepHERD") and still is. There are still lines that are bred for their herding abilities. That's what the HGH title is all about!! Max v. Stephanitz' goal was to produce the ultimate, most versatile, intelligent and loyal working-herding dog, whether it was for herding, guarding, police or military work, as a companion, a guard dog, protection dog, search and rescue dog, etc.
I know this is an old comment but you made me spit my coffee out laughing lol that music just says 80s big hair parachute pants and car and driver 1987 Nissan review lollll
I don't know if they truly ARE the best dog breed in the world, lot of factors could "determine" that, however I'm willing to bet 95% of GSD owners have loved and been stuck with wanted only that breed. They are smart, they are strong and loyal to a fault. Their greatest downfall is the hip dysplasia, and their idea that they can be vicious and murderous due to their common usage as aggressive fighting dogs like pit bulls and junkyard dogs. I have a GSD pup that's 1yr4mo old and he's the sweetest little companion ever. wicked smart too, but very territorial and defensive.
@@OakwiseBecominglabs are adorable. Pugs and bulldogs tend to be a bit disgusting looking lol. Half the time they look like a sneeze is beating the fuck outta em.
My first dog was a German Shepherd. I feel I was extremely lucky with that dog, as most others I come across were very dog aggressive. Also, the fact that they try to guard their territory against strangers can lead to dangerous situations if the dog doesn't know where your property ends and public property begins. It's one of the reasons I don't want another German Shepherd, because it's just not a risk I'm willing to take. The second reason is that they shed like no other breed I've ever encountered, possibly even more than a Husky. And unlike short haired dog's fur, the German Shepherd fur is extremely hard to get out of your clothes after cuddles. So you either need to get changed after cuddling your dog, or you just don't cuddle them at all when you're about to go out somewhere where you need to look neat. And lastly, although this is avoidable by getting a dog from a breeder who gets his dogs' hips x-rayed and only breeds with healthy dogs, hip dysplasia is a major problem in the breed. (Ours was a rescue and suffered greatly from this.) I'm by no means hating on the breed, just trying to prepare those who want one for what they'll have to deal with for the next 12 years. I am aware of the many great qualities German Shepherds have, to the point that I'm sometimes tempted to forget why I decided not to get another one, and start looking for a breeder. I just wish breed documentaries (and written articles too) would also prepare potential buyers for the down sides, instead of just making them all seem like perfect little angels. It's a major problem I'm encountering as I'm trying to decide which breed I want to buy, because no matter what breed you try to look up, they're somehow all "the smartest, the most loyal, the most versatile, the most patient with children, etc" (except for a very few breeds who are made out to be absolute devils, which obviously can't be true either).
Great info, but can't stand to sit through the music in the background....why do people do this music that grates on your nerves....too bad, moving on ...
This video is entirely based around the German shepherd show line dogs.. with their arched backs that have become desirable throughout the show arena sadly a cost to the health of the animal causing structural issues such as dysplasia in the hips and elbows. This is not how they were originally bred and not how you see conformation in the working line German shepherds. In addition to this the dietary information is not necessarily accurate either as raw proteins such as lamb, beef rabbit etc is acceptable. Further research should have transpired before producing this video to ensure the overall health of the breed. IMO.
My GSD (and her border collie companion) eat raw chicken daily and other meat items. And I wouldn’t associate with dog show type people who ruin breeds. Terrible people.
If I hadn't come down to add a comment I'd not have watched all this video because of it playing the same thing a few times at the beginning, as I just thought you the person that put up this video were one of the many idiots on CZcams that think by saying a video is such and such length when in truth it a fraction of that length and they have either looped the video because they don't know what they are doing or they are just out to con the people watching. If I'd not seen the comments say the beginning was looped you'd have got a very negative comment.
That's why all this beautiful breeds of dogs are all Soo sick, they keep changing the genealogy until they are satisfy with the creature they made then the poor animal is left to deal with all the akes and pains that all does changes had made in them. I feel Soo bad for all the animals this days. My God designed the animals just perfect, but some people out there think that they can do better. They should be put in jail.😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
