The Best Food For GSDs - 25% OFF shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2148482&u=3383393&m=121566&urllink=&afftrack=

[@shavaunaronan3188]

Excellent video!. I have two Rescue GSD's. The large black male has bonded with mostly myself while the female has bonded with the entire family. The male is intimidating and quite protective while the female is much more gentle and friendly. Having said all that, the female will put the male in his place if she thinks he is getting too playful with our small dog or the kids. The GSD is definitely an all round fun family dog, active, highly intelligent and fearless. I feel I won the Doggy Lottery when I agreed to adopt two adult GSD's I had never met. Amazing breed!

[@DogsNowChannel]

So amazing - very hard to find adult GSDs. They are great family dogs

[@bethanymckenna4582]

my female is more dominant and protective than my male and she's also more affectionate

[@vafarmer7444]

My blk male GSD has been raised with our goats and chickens. He looks at our livestock as part of the family and he’ll protect them with his life just like he’d protect us. He’s killed many foxes, snakes, raccoons and possums trying to get our chickens. Awsome breed no matter what gender!

[@abayomidaniel4204]

How did u train it to the extent it protects the chicken . Like me own GSH , it kills my chicken and the baby turkeys.

[@vafarmer7444]

@@abayomidaniel4204 our BLK GSD have the same bloodline as our grandparents BLK GSD. We’ve always raised them as LGD. It takes generations or alot of patience to one particular dog.

[@vafarmer7444]

@@abayomidaniel4204 He was raised as a puppy with our livestock. I would bring him with me whenever I feed the livestock, let them out and locked them up when he was a puppy until he got used to them. Then, he would get upset if he couldn’t come with me.

[@thepupmommy]

I have and have had, male and female German Shepherds. My females are incredibly protective of their humans and my Boston Terriers. My males watch the yard, but at the same time, they let the females do the work (as in the girls will bark first, and the males only get involved if they think the girls can't handle it.) So much depends on the genetics, breeding and training of these dogs. All my GSDs are incredibly bonded to me, because I talk to them constantly, and my hands are always on them, petting them. Czarina never left my side in the 12 yrs I had her, and now my Ophelia follows me everywhere, while the boys take a wait and see attitude.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Good info thank you!

[@eikevomhauswalderbac]

Yes, exactly! I agree with you, 100%! I've had German Shepherd Dogs for over 50 years.

[@1234jazy]

I second that I have 8 dogs the female is faster loves to jump in and out of the window . Always on guard and very protective. The male is larger and more beautiful but he will be after the female. The male can be a womanizer which means the female is better in guarding. Thirdly the female hunts goes after birds or pigeons anything that moves. She more active than the male.

[@gabriellawilliams6866]

How right you are! I've had Shepherds all my life and trained is definitely the best way to go. With lots of love either way. I saw a young family in the park today with a juvenile shepherd and were struggling to control him. Hopefully they will be able to get him to training soon!

[@13bcoffee]

I had both. I like the males for guard dog purposes. Many people back down just seeing them. The males can also battle other dogs if needed a lot better than the females. The females are good as family pets. They don't bark as much as the males and are very easy to train. My females were a lot smaller and lighter than the males. The females also eat less. My big males could really eat a lot. Both will go after critters such as possums and coyotes. This is a very adaptable breed that is at home on the farm, suburbs or city. Think about your purpose for getting this dog. A real downer is that this breed sheds fur. Also look out for hip problems.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Good info thank you!

I had a female and she was socialized from the time she was a puppy. She loved people and other dogs. She showed other female German Shepards she was alpha in her house. When she went into another dog’s house she acted very polite no matter if they were three pounds.

[@Brian-sh2gi]

Great description of the female GSD. Ours is an absolute pleasure with everyone in the family and will tolerate people after a proper introduction. High energy and loves to walk and play. My only mistake was not socializing her with other dogs when she was younger so please do so with yours.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Thank you Brian for this information

[@krisgrafili6780]

Hello Brian, what happened when you didn't socialize her. Is she insecure and nervous around other dogs?

[@KingNaoya]

@@krisgrafili6780 Unsocialized dogs are often scared when meeting strange humans & dogs. This fear might even drive them to go into defensive mode and attack/bark OR they'll be so scared that they'll just avoid them completely in a panic mode. Thus showing, they are not able socialize properly.

[@w4447]

I agree my shephard was taken to the dog park from 9 weeks old.( despite what the vets said) I also took her everywhere else. She didn't have a mean bone in her body and loved the kids she met when out. Not aggressive but let you know someone was at the door before they knocked. Once introduced she was very friendly. I'm in Florida we don't use dogs for security we have guns and stand your ground laws.

I have had both and have found my current male, THOR, to be especially social with people. While he definitely loves to bark in his big voice when someone comes to the door, if the people come in he quickly runs to get a ball to show them and enjoys being petted. He will get along with other dogs when introduced correctly. He is definitely a 5 year old puppy, but has be called very polite. At the groomer they call him the gentle giant because he is so good with the other doges. He is a healthy 110lbs, and people do tend to walk across the street when I walk him, if they don't know him. Great with my 8 grand kids.

I’ve had 3 female GSD rescues. My first was 78lbs- extremely dog aggressive. My second was 100 lb tall female with fear aggression. My current GSD is 63 lbs and the easiest of the 3. All super obedient & intelligent.

[@clivewilliams3661]

We had a male GSD that was one of only two in a litter to a large female and came with a pedigree of Austrian and Australian champions. For various reasons we collected the puppy at 13 weeks and by that time he was growing at a fast rate due to having vast quantities of his mothers milk. He grew to be a perfectly proportioned dog of 55kgs but 1" taller than the maximum that pedigree would allow. He was immensely strong who protected the house and us extremely well but he very rarely barked to announce his presence.

[@Robert-mn8gc]

Must have been a long coat 2 be that heavy . This ideal weight thing seems a bit of a trap. My gsd male was the biggest in the litter & according 2 the breeders who l live next door 2 said he was just always on his mum milk & pushing the others out. Lovely natured male gsd & at 8+ months is already 37.90 kilos & approx 63/64 cm He is Super handsome & smart

[@clivewilliams3661]

@@Robert-mn8gc No, he was a standard coat GSD but was as I said bigger than pedigree would accept. He was perfectly proportioned dog and very powerful. The mother was of Australian champion line and she was as large as she could be and she was sired with another large dog, couple that with the fact that she only had a litter of two puppies, you can imagine that they had the very best start even from an embryo. When we were asked to select the puppy we wanted we were presented with two puppies at 6 weeks that were best described as large flat blobs on the floor. We chose the one that actually moved and then collected it some weeks later due to our pre-arranged holiday. At 13 weeks he was on his own with his mother who still managed to give him milk. With that start it was not surprising that he became a giant.

The female I had (pictured in the profile pic) was so dominant she would usually urinate by lifting her leg. She was also the size of a large male. Extremely territorial over house, yard and neighborhood where she would get regular walks. But civil in neutral areas like the vet because she didn't want to be there. She only wanted to go where she could walk to and back from where she lived and she never once got lost during dog walks. Always knew her way back from her point of origin

I looked it up and most owners think the personality depends on the dog rather than the gender. Males can be affectionate and females independent and aloof.

[@Kingz4Kings]

I seen the opposite on when looking up, males are more aloof. I had a make puppy gsd for a few. And he wouldn’t really lie on me or in my bed. And if he did lie in my bed he would lay by him self, he would also prefer to lay on the floor it seemed like, but my female ? Oh man snuggle right up to my neck, brought me a beer. And she was a tea cup chihuahua. So come on now 🤷‍♂️

[@bethanymckenna4582]

my female is more dominant and protective than my male and she's also more affectionate

[@richardavery4692]

Most owners are laypeople & hardly experts on dog behavior. Professionals are called "professional" for a reason. Also, generalized statements & observations are just that, general. You can find instances of any generalized statement not being entirely accurate if you look hard enough. That's not the point & defeats the purpose of a generalized statement. It's like saying human males are taller than human females then pointing to a WNBA player & saying, "but not always". What's the point you're making?

I also grow a variety of market crops that get attacked by raccoons, possums, and other critters. I shoot em when i see them, but id prefer a GSD to help with this issue. Would it be better to have both as puppies and train them? Ive also got 4 small children. Ive also considered adding border collies, and great pyranese since i heard those are good night hunters.

She's loving, very sweet, likes all people but also protective. I wish I has known this when I brought home my other dog. It's difficult with mixed breeds sometimes. She got protective over me and didn't want him intruding on her territory. It's taking time but things are better now. Btw - I found out that she was a GS mix from a doggie DNA test. She looks like a hairy, blond golden retriever but there's no golden in her. She moves like a GS though

Our family had GSD's. My brother only had males, I had females. His dogs were huge, yet very gentle with family. He's a "Bro" if you know what i mean. Black Camaro, weight lifting, steroids, guns,etc. He named his dogs with masculine names. Diesel, etc. I named my female dogs with German names. Heidi was such a fantastic dog, I named the next one Heidi. So i refer to them as Heidi 1 and Heidi 2. They have passed. My female dogs were just as protective as his male dogs. And they dont piss on everything. Hip displaysia got them all. I paid big bucks with a breeder who had certified papers (and online) linages to show no past problems with hips. She developed bone spurs on her spine, then hip displaysia. You never know. I threw her favorite toy, a Frisbee at the park. She fell down and never walked again. She was in such pain, Morphine didnt help. I had to put my sweet girl down. Its been 10 years now, and I cry while writing this.😢 Im a senior now and live in apartment.

I'm pretty sure that is a Belgian Malinois at 2:46 , which most people seem to get confused with a German Shepherd. The best dog I've ever owned is a German Shepherd, which I still have. Cheyenne is 11.5 yrs old, and still very healthy, and playful. The only exercise I give her is playing fetch in the backyard. I've never taken her for walks on the cement. I've never overfed her... she gets 2 cups of dry dog food (i.e. Eagle Pack-purple bag) each day, and sometimes she only wants 1 cup. She looks forward to a dog biscuit after eating her food. And since our tap water is terrible, I've only given her bottled water her entire life. Most of the time it's distilled water. As for her personality... she aims to please, and has never bitten me in her life. Whenever I talk to my wife, Cheyenne always positions herself between me and my wife, as if to put my wife under her protection. Cheyenne also knows a great amount of words, and seems to understand whatever I say. I'm hoping she'll make it to 20 yrs. I think, there's a chance.

German Shepherds are renowned for their exceptional intelligence, which makes them one of the smartest dog breeds. They have remarkable learning abilities, excellent problem-solving skills, and can quickly understand and obey commands. Thanks to their intelligence, they are highly trainable and can be used for various tasks, such as police work, search and rescue operations, assistance, and as loyal family companions. Their sharp minds and keen senses make them highly versatile, enabling them to perform a wide range of activities and tasks with ease.

hey can you suggest which one should i get...... soon Im getting a working line gsd and i want the following things in my dog: 1- very affectionate , cuddly and loyal 2- very obedient 3- very loyal and naturally protective (good for guarding purposes) 4- easy to train 5- very clingy 6- good for jogs and cycling trips 7- bigger in size..... please suggest which gender i should go for!

[@DogsNowChannel]

I would suggest female. Although you wont get the size you get more affection and eagerness to please you. So they won't leave your side and easy to train.

We have an intact male we've raised from a pup. He's a big snuggly goofball that has never met a person he doesn't love. He especially loves kids. The minute he sees a little person his ears are up ,tail is wagging, and he's locked eyes begging for them to come up so he can lick their face. My youngest calls him her best friend and she cried for hours the first time we had to kennel him to go on vacation. She spent the next few days telling anyone that would listen how much she missed her dog. I do not regret getting a male at all. I couldn't ask for a better family dog.

[@user-ro2ci6yv5h]

I’ve had both and I found my male to be more protective more loving more fun and playful and and my female more vocal much bigger appetite definitely more into food a little bit less protective and more of a snuggly cuddly type Can’t go wrong with either best breed ever

My Dog 🐕 A male gsd . Just over 8+ months . Height approx 63/64 cm & his Weight 37.90 kilos weighed last week @ 8 months & 2 days old . He is active on my terms so his hip & joints scores remain as exceptional as his parents. 99 dad 98 mum . He was the biggest puppy in the litter by a long way . Hope he tops out at 66 cm & 45k weight . He may be heavier than that by the time he's finished growing. He was bigger & heavier than his Dad at 8 weeks old . Beautifull natured Dog 🐕. Called him " Shadow "

Can my 1 year old gsd still be trained

[@vinniedixon1140]

Had many GSD's over the years. Had males and females together with one female in particular that had a ferocious appetite who one day decided to try and help herself to the big males food while he was eating it. This male we had was 28 inches to the shoulder and weighed 126lb of solid muscular build and gave little miss greedy the shock of her life when she tried to stick her nose into his feeding bowl. Least to say she never tried it again LOL

My 2 month year old German shepard is very gelous of me petting other pets she tends to attack the other pets if i pet them and dont pet her, but she cant fight back just running in fear of other smaller dogs like a pikinezer, but i love her!

My uncle had a male German shepherd. It was gentle around children an even kittens.

So you saying, gsd male will take care of cubs more than a female gsd? I'm just curious 😖

Miss my German Shedder's. Last one passed last fall. Owned three consecutive males with a few over lapping yrs. Everything said about the males is true! If you are inexperienced dog owner please remember with a male Shep YOU have to be the pack leader!

[@Lemondrop157]

I have a male right now, and he’s great! But I personally prefer a female, they have a more calmer nature, while males are so goofy and clumsy sometimes 😁😆👍

[@rockmcdwayne1710]

From personal experience, male german shepherd can be very dangerous dog to own, if poorly trained. Dont get me wrong, he is loyal to you to the death but, he doesnt treat other people too well, especially strangers. I would argue that, this is the number one reason why you should properly train them. They will attack strangers if they even remotly sense any danger... or they think some stranger is dangerous. In either case, its bad.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Yes very good point

[@chrisxshock]

Or just be crazy and get one of each like us! I didn't want any, but they choose us. The male protected my middle daughter from all the other ones nipping at herand the female wouldn't leave me. With 3 kids it was the best decision because they keep each other in line. I've had so many different breeds of dogs, hence why I never wanted another dog, but these pups are so easy in relation to them. Best decision! We live in the country and have bears, coyotes, and bobcats in the backyard, so I also like that having two allows them to have to back up, as well as a work buddy since they will be herding our goats and chickens. I now see the craze... Oh quick edit: I also notice my girl beats the snot out of my boy, so if he acts up she puts him back down, so he never acts a fool to the kids. I just think that's cool she make's sure he isn't too hard on any of them.

[@KerryFairbanks]

Unfortunately also because of their looks, GS are often adopted or bred and sold to people who can't handle them and don't have appropriate space and the dogs can become neurotic, destructive and aggressive. Same with huskies but a husky prob won't get aggressive generally. They'll just tear your house apart and not listen to someone they don't respect.

[@danielwells1734]

After seeing "I Am Legend" a long time ago, I've always wanted a female GSD. It won't happen right now though, as I have a cat, and he wouldn't take it well if I brought a dog home.

[@jennifermiller7856]

I had a brother sister team. The exact opposite. is true. Female shepherds are people most likely one person protective ; male GSDs are property possessive. Females are more likely to attack; males wait until muscle is needed for the situation

[@joshuachu2445]

What about size?

[@angelakorang816]

We have a male and a female, and this is totally opposite. Male is laid back, affectionate, and goofy. Female bonds with only with her handler and family, much more intense than the male, and always on guard. She is the guardian and dominant one of the house. Female quicker to train with specific tasks.

[@frankrizzo4460]

That's not necessary true my sister has had male German Shepherds most of her life and they were much calmer than the female ones she's had in the past. She definitely prefers the male.
