[@jinkx7573]

Nice to hear truth and not poverty shelter talking points about fixing dogs at 1yr old. Always knew that was a bad idea.

[@15xgg80]

Yup once i got my dog i could not even imagine having someone cut off his balls cuse id be super pissed if someone did that to me. Also to me it didint make much sense because clearly there are bigger factors at play w the hormones and stuff other than just reproduction. My main concern was that if my dog was gonna be misreable because he is not getting any and its not like he takes can take care of himself like we humans can if you catch my drift. I was thinking maybe by actually thinking i am doing him a favor by keeping him intact and not breeding i am actually giving him diservice a life of hornines and missary

[@jusmymysticwithin]

Learning much from You! Catching-up w my 1 year old GSD/Malinois. Had no idea I was giving him too many choices, w past dogs I didn’t have 2 kids, it’s a diff dynamic w a litter + when biting & herding is so strong. Your e-collar training was BOMB, he’s chasing chipmunks much less & so eager to train when its fun. I appreciate your no bullshit no feelings explanations. Not enough hours in a day, so discerning away all the useless fluff ass dog trainers was half my battle!

[@15xgg80]

Exactly i remember literally yelling at my computer screen listening to these "positive trainers" on youtube say just give your dog treats when your dog notices a dog to get the dogs attention off the other dog and im like i would have to starve my dog for days and he would still be more interested pulling toward the dog than any treat i have infront of him. Also you will see some videos and you just know that they put only the best parts of the video on their yt channel and they cut out the parts when the dog dont listen. Ive seen on his videos when his dog makes mistake he proudly shows that and i respect the ish out of that.

[@yes-ev5pj]

⁠@@15xgg80you just need distance lmao, punishing a reactive dog doesn’t get rid of its feelings, it just hides them

[@wendymueller8709]

Super nice pups! Another great video. I like how you inform people by saying "this is what I do" not "this is what you should do". My shepherds are fed raw only and it works for us, but it doesn't work for everyone. There is no need to make anyone feel like they are bad by feeding raw or kibble. Only if they are feeding garbage. I also TOTALLY agree with your view on neutering dogs, especially if it's done too early. I have fostered puppies and dogs for the Ottawa Humane Society many times. I know that there is an issue with many unwanted pets period, not just dogs. The problem is not with neutering, it is with irresponsible owners and breeders. Keep up the good work Haz ;0)

[@Erin_29]

love this comment 🙌

[@1packatak]

Very true!!

[@DinFL]

Hi Haz, having a hard time listening to you. All of my attention is focused on those four (4) adorable puppies. Hi Mary, congratulations on the addition (orange collar) to your home. I’m so envious. 😊

[@TC-ep5hy]

Oh wow this was fantastic. These puppies are adorable!!! And so confident and curious and playful. Curious to see what's going to happen with the mystery site...

[@What2B]

Shield K9 Thanks for sharing your hard won advice 👍 Don't let the 🧟steal your thunder 💪⚡

[@_stillyellowsnow]

My neighbour was sad because he got the last pick in a litter, the smallest puppy (male) . He was small but feisty. Now he has the biggest dog from the Litter😂and he's still a character.

[@15xgg80]

I never knew that wanting a big GSD was a thing tbh but even so when you look at human babies you have some that are born heavy and big that dont grow that big and vice versa cant ever imagine someone seeing a puppy and thinking i will get that one because its gonna be a big one. First no way to tell how big its gonna be and tbh not sure why you would want to pick a puppy based on how big its gonna be. Personally my main concern is a happy healthy puppy that is not gonna have behavioral issues if he she happens to be on the smaller side who cares.

[@JKnight911]

Amen! Thank you for saying “Do not fix your dog!” So many people believe neutering a dog will calm them down, and it’s the total opposite. They need those hormones and testosterone! The females clean up themselves during their heat cycles. Every now and then you may see a drip on the floor, but they do an awesome job of keeping themselves clean.

[@LadyGeckoFoot]

Most important part of the raw - you're feeding organs, which are byproducts. Thank you for including that

[@pamelagay12]

I totally agree with you. My female GSD is intact, and yes twice a year it's a pain. But no more of a pain as when she blows her coat twice a year. With stallions, however...I've had horses all my life and ride stallions on trail. The tricky part is when you encounter a mare in season... an extremely well trained stallion will ignore her, but if not EXTREMELY well trained, it is a train wreck waiting to happen. Also, I can handle a stallion...calm or not so calm...but make sure the person that rides your stallion is a very accomplished rider. Just my opinion! Have fun!!

[@15xgg80]

LMAO i am just imagining someone riding a horse and the sees another horse in heat and the horse is doing everything in his power trying to kick you off so he can go do his thing. I can see it being very dangerous. Is that what happens?

[@bjbumblebee5324]

Lordie, I got my gsd puppy fix. Nothing more gratifying than watching a gsd grow up and learn. My gsd just turned 3 and I did not and will never neuter him. He is obedient, happy, gets to train and work every day.

[@1packatak]

Be aware that some intact males can develop prostate issues, and can require neutering to cure that.

[@nightk3717]

@@1packatak Haz literally addressed that in the video

[@deborahperry3449]

100% agree with not “fixing/altering” dogs before they are 3 years old, if then.

[@susanwoodman2996]

my GSD is very skinny, but lately he has been catching up. He is on a dry that seems to work ok with him, and I do add lean but cooked extra, he does get abit of raw but can only tolerate a small amount. It has been a trial of different foods. If the food has too much fat it gives him a loose bowel. He is around 75 pounds last month when we checked. Thanks for the information. Those pups are just beautiful!!

[@mikethefz07guy79]

I love that age, it seemed my GSD grew overnight. I miss when she had floppy ears.

[@Trek2539]

I've seen a shelter offer puppies who were 9 weeks old, all fixed.

[@garyleppanen6617]

Great insight! I always pick up something from your videos I didn't know. Always watch them 2 or 3 times. Thanks for sharing your experience and honest thoughts.

[@susanwoodman2996]

thank you also about sharing not fixing your dog and how fixing will not be a solution for bad behaviour. My last male Golden was 13 when he passed, never fixed him and he was just beautiful. My pup i have now absolutely not fixing.

[@legendofzelda2324]

So many Americans do it unnecessary. Dogs that get fixed whom barely interact with other dogs. So sad.

[@soyyo143]

"Its not a carp" hahaha love it!😂

[@lakers4life454]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I always enjoy hearing your opinions on all matters dog.

[@jewelsbarbie]

Those puppies are absolutely gorgeous; they are so adorable! I have also had great success with adding raw to kibble when my dog needed to gain a little weight.

[@michelleturner6865]

I agree. This obsession with spay neuter goes not apply to responsible pet owners. When I was breeding I did the same with my contract was null and void with an early spay neuter. Vets love unhealthy pets. That’s how they get rich.

[@oo7chicken112]

Enjoy your content and intake your advice. I will take your online course very soon.

[@johncspine2787]

I was actually on the way home from dropping of a deposit check at the post office for my new GS puppy, and I saw the hugest, hugest German Shepherd I’ve ever seen in my life! Super dark coat, this thing was equal or taller to the man’s hips as he was walking it, if it stood up it would’ve been taller, I swear, looked like “Hound of the Baskerville” thing..I stopped and talked to him about it, he said it was an awesome sweetie, but wow..scary looking!

[@johncspine2787]

Maybe the guy was smaller, or there were other genetics involved, but..my first thought was “”German Shepherd,” and that’s what he said it was..

[@zackattack91000]

Thank you Haz! Information that I’ve been waiting to hear for a long time

[@wakeandtraink9837]

Great stuff. I didn't fix my boy and if he is not in his crate he is with me. love the puppies.

[@15xgg80]

Is there a benefit to having a crate. My dog has the whole house to himself and he has a big bed that he goes to as his "safe" space. If i am playing w him and when he is done he will just run there and i swear he thinks nobody can get to him when he is on his bed lol.

[@MetalMotivation]

Excellent as always, Haz.

[@joeyprince2910]

As a horseman I will tell you this Haz, The life of a stallion is a lonely one. If you have lots of land with multiple paddocks, or don’t plan on getting another horse, then it doesn’t matter. But I believe that horses enjoy life a lot more when they get to spend it with other horses. There are exceptions to every rule and I know that you are aware of that. I have owned stallions before that I was able to turn out with other geldings. But out of nearly 1000 horses I have trained in my life I can only think of 2 studs that I could have done that with, and in both cases it was only with geldings Of there liking. This comment was supposed to be one sentence but for some reason I felt like I had to explain. Good day to you sir 😉

[@stainsygc3172]

I feed my boy a combination of high quality kibble, with a bit of raw food mixed in.

[@15xgg80]

Dood i love this guy. Almost all the stuff you find on the internet says fix your dog because too many dogs in the shelter blah blah . I remember reading and watching them say that and thinking what kind of unresponsible idiot you have to be for your dog to actually have unwanted puppies. I feel like it would have to be some miracle for that to happen considering what all has to be in place for it to happen.

[@selvakanagarajan9900]

[@k4vms]

WOW!!! Someone finally get it. Know how to feed a German Shepherd. Know how the body should look like and be proportioned. German Shepherd over weight is hard on their joints especially on the back end. Good food is very important but not to much food. If you can’t see the outline of the ribs and they do not have kid of an hour glass shape they are over weight. Ricky from IBM, Ret

[@elizabethburke2751]

Haz, how do you feel about the performatrim line? It’s made locally with (most) locally sourced ingredients. I try to buy Canadian when I can.

[@etienneetienne4752]

Raw diet can be dangerous, I’m a vet and can tell you your choice of royal canin is great but raw is dangerous. I have seen dogs with salmonella poisoning die. I can also tell you that raw also has less digest-ability. I’ve seen dogs with nutritional deficiencies from raw. I understand and respect your decision to feed raw, I feed my dogs cooked chicken breast by cooking the outside but the middle stays rawish. That’s my medical advice. Great content thanks.

[@jacintawick2392]

Just love listening to you! I have learned so much!!! I am very interested in getting a puppy from you. My biggest question is male versus female. Which are generally better for hearding, protection work, family dog, and guarding property and animals? I will probably be the one handling this dog most. Which are easier to handle? We will be getting our animals next year and also hoping to get the puppy at the same time so he/she can get acclimated to them and the animals can acclimate to the pup. Waiting to hear back from you with excitement!! Blessings!

[@tyrusoyalo6287]

Hello Haz, is cooked food(Cooked beef or chicken) ok for dogs, or should one give raw food?

What’s your view on “Culling” puppies? And is this practice still relevant in the sport dog community?

[@AdventureswithLycanmyGSD]

Out of interest sake, what is your opinion on a male GSD who is Bilateral Cryptorchid? I have a 2.5 year old, still intact, unfortunately Bilateral Cryptorchid. Not actually planning on neutering unless a health issue crops up. Just curious on your opinion on this condition. (His breeder has not been helpful despite this particular dog coming from really good lines and my vet just wants to operate), thanks.

[@1packatak]

Leave him alone. Obviously don’t breed. He will be fine.

[@stewartashling]

My poor dog after getting fixed her health went down quickly diseases I've never seen before. Then death. Mali/Alsation Cross.

[@1packatak]

I’m sorry you and she had to go through that

[@15xgg80]

There is a vet that was thought to fix dogs early in her career and by vet school and when she opened her own practice she strongly encouraged her clients to fix their dogs asap so much so that she would nicely tell them to find another vet if they didnt want to. She noticed that alot of the dogs that got fixed developed so many more serious health issues compared to her few clients that insisted they stay w her and didnt want to fix the dogs. She actually ended up crying because all those dogs that had all those issues were a result of her strongly pushing for fixing. Now she strongly encourages her clients not to fix their dogs.

[@jl6757]

Who does your puppy training you or someone that works with you? I'm assuming someone else and I'm ok with that cause I know you probably only have good trainers with you. You think you could help with a 4 month old Coonhound, pretty good dog just loves to sniff and does not walk well on leash, starting to jump alot.

[@ijustdocomments6777]

There's a shocking amount of virtue signaling related to fixing dogs, at least in the US, it has the same vibe as a lot of politicized things, language policing, mask wearing and the like. Last time I tried to explain to someone why my dog was in heat, their eyes glazed over.

[@johncspine2787]

[@ebenezerscrooge9164]

Haz… please…. Why do you advertise Royal Canin? And then just describe raw like it’s similar to that garbage? I dont hate kibble, but royal canin is NOT good. Orijen, Fromm’s, kinetic dog food isn’t bad. Anybody that’s looking into their dogs nutrition please search farther than this. I’m an elite member, not hating.

[@15xgg80]

He clearly states that he has tried many different type of food including raw only diet and the best brand that has worked for him. Not sure why you are mad if you disagree or think he is wrong thats fine but he is just going off by his experience and the results he has had. Its not like he is sponosored by the brand and he is trying to shill it he is going by the results he has had with having fed over 1000 dogs and i completely trust him.

[@hardcorek9510]

@panzertoo, I would concentrate on your own channel by the looks of it. Trolling is a huge turnoff for most people and you are not very popular now. The goal is not to teach 8 - 12 week old puppies tricks. When it comes to.protection, they either have, or they don't. Socializing and letting them be a puppy is important. You can train a dog to sit and stay at any age. Stop with the stupidity, because it is not helping you.

@panzertoo, like many people, I come on here to enjoy the videos and comments and even the mature debates, but people like you offer zero contribution to the discussion. Apparently , you make it a hobby of trolling other accounts and doing the exact same thing. If all you have to add is negative comments in an effort boost your ego, it is not working.
