2008-11-29 06:03:00
One most frequent question that I usually come across is: ?How often should I bath my German Shepherd?? Most of the dog sites state that dog doesn't need so frequent bath. True indeed! They do not need frequent bath. But I am sure you don't find this answer quite satisfactory. Well, a lot of things are to be considered to decide how often if you should bath your German Shepherd. Frequent bathing washes off the natural oil of their skin, making it dry and produces dandruffs, which can be one of the major reasons of seborrheic scurf and other dermal infection. Over-bathing your German Shepherd Dog should be avoided to avoid drying out of his skin.The first thing to be considered is how well you maintain him.Secondly, the country you live and it's climatic condition are of the next prime imporant points to be considered.Thirdly, seasonFourthly, regular brushing keeps your dog clean.Fifthly, the place you keep your dog is the last point... but not the least!A well maintained dog usu...

Many a times I've been hit by querries, as to whether there is only these colors in GSDs that we usually find in localities and dog shows. Nah.... a lot more are there that are not seen in general dog shows, nor in our localities. Some of the pigments have been declared to be conformation fault; some are really rare genes. But, hey...

2008-02-06 16:13:00
Versatility of Alsatians is beyond question! A well bred German Shepherd Dog is an all round canine companion of his master, although it's true that not all shepherds are equally versatile. If bred properly a German Shepherd puppy will grow up with all the desirable and mandatory instincts that would make it a real royal dog and truly a protective companion of his owner.Captain Max Von Stephenitz emphasized more on the working ability of the breed than the look. When it comes to the working ability (Schutzhund protection work) of the breed we need to know all about the 5 Basic Instincts of well bred German Shepherd Dogs . These five instincts are genetically inherited by a puppy from it's well bred dam and sire. Selective breeding is hence essential.Wondering why I'm using the word "Well Bred" so frequently over and over again?

Captain Max Von Stephanitz Speaks About Horand Von Grafrath SZ 1
2007-11-10 21:14:00
Here's what Mr. Stephanitz said about Horand -- the father of all GSDs."Horand (Picture on the right) embodied for the enthusiasts of that time the fulfillment of their fondest dreams. He was big for that period, between 24" and 24 1/2", even for the present day a good medium size, with powerful frame, beautiful lines, and a nobly formed head. Clean and sinewy in build, the entire dog was one live wire. His character was on a par with his exterior qualities; marvelous in his obedient fidelity to his master, and above all else, the straightforward nature of a gentleman with a boundless zest for living. Although untrained in puppy hood, nevertheless obedient to the slightest nod when at this master's side; but when left to himself, the maddest rascal, the wildest ruffian and incorrigible provoker of strife. Never idle, always on the go; well disposed to harmless people, but no cringer, mad about children and always in love. What could not have been the accomplishments of such a dog ...

But the most inspirational thing about it was that, it was another great inspiration for Mr. Max Von Stephanitz to form the Verein für deutsche Schäferhunde (shortly known as SV ? the ?Club For German Shepherd Dogs?). So there was now a club authorized to register the wide range of sheep dogs that used to exist in Germany.Founded in 1899, with the first president Mr. Adolf Meyer the Verien had a smooth sail.

This is a continuation of the first part.Both the Thuringian and Wurttemburg sheep dogs were first exhibited in a show held at Hanover in the year 1882 ? the year that marked the beginning of the evolution of a dog that was having a mind blowing ability to control herd of sheep. Drastic steps were taken to synchronize these varieties of typical sheep dogs in one single breed. Intelligence and Utility were the watch words for the breeding program. Selective breeding was one of the determining factors in the project. The Swedish sheep dogs were rejected at the very first sight, since they light built body, and lighter bones.Those dogs were selected that had the typical shepherd qualities, such as expressive heads, moderately lighter weights, good bones and good gait. The dentitions were to be quite strong. The bites were to be quite resistant and such that it would redirect the sheep ...

Well now, I was thinking of what should I write on this time. How if I write something about the history of the German Shepherd Dogs ? This is a very long story indeed. So I've planed to present it in a series of a few distinctive volumes. Just read on. And I'm sure if you are a real GSD fancier, this will be a topic of your real interest.Germany is the birth place of the breed. The very name gives a very clear cut indication of the fact. The look and the glamour of the German Shepherds Dogs that we find today took almost a century to develop. It was not until the late 19th century that emergence of the breed was noticed. And it?s beyond all doubt that it was due to the far sighted vision of the Prusian cavalry captain Rittmeister Max Emil Frederich von Stephanitz (commonly known by Captain Stephanitz or Captain Max von Stephanitz) that we dogs lovers got such a great gift.Shepherd dogs were truly wonderful natural working dogs that were used by the shepherds of 18th and 19th centu...

GSD Acclimatizes To Warfare
2007-10-09 22:18:00
Friends! Lend me your ears please. I?m talking about something regarding Alsatians in wars. Alsatians played a real vital role in the wars, although other breeds such as Airedale terriers, Rottweilers, Collies, Lurchers, Giant Schanuzers, Bull Terriers etc. were also trained to become used to gunfire and bangs of exploding grenades and shells. Training up the war dogs was as important as giving guidance for loading of rifles and hitting the target.Dogs ? especially GSDs used to be the invaluable assets to the European regiment in World War I. The funny thing is that the services of dogs were not appreciated during the early years of the World War I. But they started to gain high respect when it was realized that dogs can accomplish great things. With the demand rising high, the War Office had put forward an appeal before the dog shelters and dog owners to give their dogs for war training. To meet the ever rising demand for a true courageous, intelligent and powerful breed of dogs, a...

Let?s have a brief look on the history of the breed, spanning back to 18th - 19th centuries.VARRIED NAMES FOR ONE BREEDAt the end of the World War I, it was feared that the German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs) would fail to maintain its glory and would fail to flourish further if the word ?GERMAN? had appeared with its name. This is because, during the World Wars, anything with a reference to Germans was not favored in UK. Hence, to avoid the word ?GERMAN? in the name, it was decided to use the name ?ALSATIAN WOLF DOG?

Responsibilities Of A Dog Owner

The responsibility of an owner or in the other way round, responsible ownership starts before purchasing a dog and never after bringing the dog home. After bringing the dog the responsibility only magnifies. The sense of responsibility starts with at least a short term study about the dogs to know the pros and cons of the story.Ask certain questions to yourself before you bring the little pooch to your home.1. Is the breed I am looking for really suites me?2. Is the home I live in apt for a dog?3. Do all the members of my family love dogs?4. Dogs cant be left alone for a long span of time.
