GERMAN SHEPHERD SHOULD YOU GET ONE?! Part 4

[@zackcaffery-kerr6531]

honestly this guy is my favourite dog trainer on the internet, needs his own show. much love from aus.

[@johncspine2787]

Makes a good complement to Tom Davis at Upstate Canine Academy, he’s super great as well..

[@erockromulan9329]

I have been grieving the loss of my GSD Kemper for the past week, but I honestly had a brief moment of relief when I laughed when the vet gave me a lock of his hair. I already have many all over the place. I love you, Kemper. I miss you so much.

[@susanmeadows627]

💔💓🐾 I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish we could have them forever. Sending a big hug.💓

[@doncook3450]

I love my German Shedders. I have three. All rescues. Enjoy your videos.

[@jaytok7]

my GSD had a lot of energy. a 1hr walk would not tire her out. I had to take her along for bike rides with me. it was literally the only way to get her to come home and chill out for the rest of the day. She learnt what turn left, right, slow down and stop meant. She always got so excited when i pulled out the old bike

[@christophersoto5136]

Love the videos, Just got a 4 Month Old GSD only problem im having with him is his nibbles besides that all your other videos are very helpful with training.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you

My dog is unbelievably lazy in the house UNTIL the second you touch his leash, then all bets are off.

[@tapioportimo2551]

White shepherds tend to be timid at least here in Europe. Should not be by the standard, but about 40% are. We had one large female, otherwise a perfect family dog also with little kids and even babies, but not comfortable with strangers. About exercise: the more the better. few miles is ok, but they could (and would like to) run 40 miles every day if they had a chance. Feeding: kibble sacks have approximate amounts per day printed on the back, depending on the size of the puppy and what the grown up weight is likely to be. About 400 grams per day for a 8-12 months old growing GSD, after that somewhat less. Depends on activity and the calorie content of the feed.

[@Hollidaydoc111112]

That is a great dog. I almost prefer dogs that are slightly imperfect, the somewhat constant desire to get on the placemats is adorable.

[@naturallycurlyhair4413]

As much as I love the GSD, ended up with a Malinois ‘cause of the shedding problems with the GSD. Wouldn’t recommend Malinois for sure, but from what I’ve seen GSD/Mal mix if bred correctly can help with the shedding and health problems of the German Shepherd, decreasing the neurological problems of the Mal, getting a bit of the Malinois look, and having much more of the German Shepherd’s temperament. If you don’t like the idea of the shedding of the GSD i’d suggest looking for a well bred Doberman.

[@primalcritters]

A well bred Malinois GSD cross is a nice dog. Well bred

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Agreed. The right mix and turnout is key. I've seen them look like GSD but act like malinois. We're training one now that looks like malinois but acts 100% like Shepherd. Malinois coat as well.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Yep

[@heathlee5698]

I paid 1400 for my German Shepherd. Straight legit breeder. Brown County Indiana. I was lucky enough to get first pick of the liter. She's 9 weeks old. A beauty.

[@Troy-Echo]

The more accurate name is "German Shedder". They generate hair like nobody's business. Your hands and arms look like a gorilla when you bathe them, even after brushing. When we had company coming down for the weekend, we'd brush our German Shedder at least 3X over the 4-6 days prior, each each time it would easily fill up a Wal-Mart bag. In the spring we would just let the hair blow around the back yard and leave it for the birds to build their nests. We had to put our Shephard down in September 2022, and the only thing I don't miss is the crazy amount of hair everywhere.

[@julioc918]

Love your videos about the different types of breeds.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you

[@queenzinfinity492]

Love your videos. I had to put my gsd down at 10 years. Both his hips went in a week. I'm a senior now and thinking about getting one again.

[@markfcoble]

I miss mine. Was great watch dog and family companion. Thank you for your video!

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Thank you for watching

[@genevievec.8002]

My first dog is a shepherd, and I'll admit I wasn't prepared for the reactivity. Super smart, great at obedience, but teaching him to chill out has been a wild ride. We got a husky last year, a breed generally considered much harder to train, and it's been way easier to be honest. Temperament is so critical, and I never met the shepherd's parents. Definitely wish I had, i think it'd explain a lot of our struggles.

[@reamus9102]

From what I understand, the reason the AKC doesn’t recognize white German Shepherds is because they're supposed to be herding dogs, and the white color makes them look to much like sheep and the sheep won't react to the shepards well enough with the white color. Whereas "livestock guardian dogs" like the Pyrenees are supposed to look white so the sheep don't react to them so much. I wonder if this is an outdated way of thinking though, since most working GSDs arent used for herding any more.

[@lamilagrosa3412]

I have a working line GSD, and walked him today 1.5 miles, and for sure, he could have gone longer

[@Steve-ci1kj]

Great looking dog. It looks like he has a healthy hip structure rather than slanted like most German shepherds.

[@primalcritters]

You're thinking of the poorly bred show line. Working line German Shepherds don't have those problems and the white German shepherds are specifically bred more like working lines in structure but larger. Their temperament tends to be a little lower Drive than a pure working line though

[@Steve-ci1kj]

@@primalcritters well I know it’s much more drastic with the show lines, but I thought working lines can also have it somewhat. I’m no expert though.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

No I would say generally not. Real working line Shepherds will have flat back. There are some dogs with half show line half working line so they have the slant back and the "nice looks" but can somewhat do the work.

[@primalcritters]

@@Steve-ci1kj no, not at all. The working lines look just like this dog. If a working line dog does it then that's a very poorly bred Shepherd because most working line dogs if you see them walking around are straight topped

[@Steve-ci1kj]

@@AmericanStandardK9 gotcha. Thanks for the clarification!

[@cindihbh]

I have a white sheprador. Just turned 6 mths. Has CGC, CGCA, TKN. Training for service. KitKat is a couch potato lol. She loves to learn! Now in Rally training. BUT THE SHEDDING🤣 I've got to buy stock in lint roller company🤣

[@ladyhellfire75]

I love love love the white German Shepherd. Grandparents bred them when I was younger and had one as a toddler+ and she was my best friend. Had one as a young adult and she was a dream too. Grandpa on the other side had several as I grew up and most were dumplings because he always had one and lived in the country. They were mostly some variety of black and tan and even had a red and black dropped off. All were good dogs and had about two acres to run. The only one that had actual aggression issues was the red and black but you know, redheads. I also think it was the way he'd been treated previously. He loved my grandpa and listened and allowed me as a preteen to dig in his mouth to remove a bone that had become lodged in his mouth. After that he was extremely conflicted as to who he wanted to protect more. I will never have a negative thing to say about the breed, they just need to be treated and trained right.

[@luketolley5732]

My 7 month old mutt (bull arab great done mix we think) is pretty good. I'm not a trainer and the only toolim allowed to use is a slip lead.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Luke you can use whatever tool you want! Train in your house, your backyard, a quiet park, etc. Even if you just use a slip lead you can get a lot accomplished. You going to go to jail if you use a prong collar?

[@brendanperry6429]

Hip replacements are available for dogs with hip dysplasia.

[@KarmaFlight]

My GSD had mylopathey causing his rear feet to drag and turn under. I had to put him down. 😢 I will be getting another one some day.

[@primalcritters]

Get one from a well-bred line. I would recommend a working line with a lower Drive. If you have energy get a medium Drive

[@justchilling7594]

I've seen a bunch with severe allergies as well something else to worry about.

[@AmericanStandardK9]

Agreed. That's a lot of dogs though too.

[@TheDragonSeer]

9:40 "if you disagree with anything that ive said, you can go f* yourself" lmao you are my favorite dog trainer. No dog yet but i know who I'll watch when I get one. I love your attitude and common sense!

[@melodieramsay655]

He doesn't look too bad in the hip area.because he's not slanted down like a lot of them.

[@johncspine2787]

Good podcast w Tom Davis at Upstate Canine Academy w a groomer, she says to avoid the Furminator unless you really know what you’re doing..avoid blades and cutting/shaving the coat..

[@Kate-Tastic]

I have the lazy GSD. He’ll fetch a couple times before he’s like nah that’s not my deal lol he doesn’t much like the heat where I’m at (he’s all black). He’d much rather stay inside and shed everywhere lol Buuuuut he does love his car rides and will walk a mile easy when asked. I have fallen in love with GSDs and doubt I’d ever go back to a different breed.

[@egcadventures1138]

Just Amazing trainer. I have a 2 1/2 year black long haired male German Shepherd and a black long haired Female German Shepherd Show line, but i have to train them. Thanks for your videos.

[@maximilianoehmichen]

If got a question. I love your videos and they are very helpful and you said dont get a working line shepherd, but I heard you say that most show lines get hip displacia, so if i dont get a working line which line should I take that has not a high risk of hip displacia? 🤔

[@TheOliveBoyzz]

This is my u favorite channel to watch and get trips from for training my 6 month old german shepherd. If ur new to this channel definitely checkout mire if his videos this guy knows what he is doing has alot of knowledge

Thanks for the support!

[@malenedietl3369]

Royce...beautiful!!❤❤

[@lennisemann2002]

Love the videos! I have a shepherd mix and she looks like a Panda Shepherd but isn't because she's a mix and a rescue! She was a bit like Harley in the other video with nerves but not to that extreme! However I did a bunch of training with her and built up her confidence! She isn't rock solid but definitely better than she was! Going to do tracking and scent work with her and maybe Rally! I also have a border collie who is the confident one of the 2 lol

[@understatedautobody]

My GSD doesn’t shed yet. She’s 10 months old. I can hug her as you did in the video and no hair will be on my clothes. It’s crazy. I’m sure she’ll shed eventually but so far I’ve been lucky lol

Btw a blue shepherd is a blue bay Shepard and its a wolf dog

[@Carlahavingfun]

How old does your puppy have to be to start training them and also when should you start introducing the prong color

[@rongrass1441]

Are GSD'S good for apartments as long as you walk them enough?

[@nogames8982]

I would say no. Unless you do a lot of activity with them indoors and out. They can also tend to bark, and in apartment buildings, you hear things all the time, and that could set your dog off. I would not get a shepherd for a apartment.

[@juhuisda4360]

Hi. Would a ramp be good for getting in and out of the car?

[@davycornell8715]

[@SarahCSarah]

Their joints can get damaged if they over exercise

[@altonfender5168]

How much do you charge to train German Shepherd puppies 8 weeks or older cuz I live in the state of Florida Okeechobee I have a 8 weeks German Shepherd puppy female I love German Shepherd dogs cuz I used to own one years ago when I was younger he saved my life and he saved my mama's life until he got run over and got killed

Throw out all your black clothes if you have a German shepherd. That’s REAL TALK. I vacuum my place every other day and the canister fills up with dog fur.

White Shepherds are not able to be in the show ring. Disqualified color. White dogs are genetically darker but have a mutation in the line. Great pet or working dog.

German Shedders

[@heidigib01]

Our pound and humane society have been getting lots of pure looking gsd. I see adults all the time. Very sad. Hard to believe they cost so much and yet owners don’t tag/chip them or go looking for them.

[@MyCroydon]

I disagree !! I will keep all my black clothes my GSD is all Black

[@nogames8982]

My German shepherd has everything from black to silver to cream and some brown. And I’ve got a little yellow dog. And a gray cat. I’m screwed. My clothes have hair on them and that’s just how it’s going to be.
