  • Have you thought about making a home for a former Greyhound Athlete?
    photo credit: Marianne Perdomo Greyhounds are excellent animal athletes. As they race and perform throughout their professional careers, they usually race until they are between 1.5 and 4 years old. During this time, they become adjusted to being walked and lead on a leash, so upon retirement from their professional careers, they make gentle pets! […]

Even if you don’t bath your German Shepherd often, regular grooming is essential. By maintaining proper grooming procedures you can reduce your dog’s chance of having skin problems while keeping the coat shiny. It is best to maintain grooming every night, but first do eight to twelve weeks of moderate grooming. To manage the double coat present on a German Shepherd it is best to comb at least twice a week.

It is the last long weekend before fall. And, it is going to be picture perfect weather for the next 5 days! Ya!!!

But, there is one problem. Everyone will be out:
- families
- kids
- bikes
- rollerbladers
- dogs (both leashed and, unfortunately, unleashed)

A friend of mine went to the waterfront yesterday afternoon. I had my black lab, and he was walking my golden retriever. She is not a strong woman, but my golden is very friendly, good thing, because, out of nowhere comes this teeny weeny little dog, running full speed towards my two dogs.

Now, my black lab is a good dog, but, she does have an issue at times with a strange dog running “into her face”.

I tried to shoo the little monster out of the way, but no go. She was determined to come and attack my black lab, so, I very gently, but firmly, used my foot to keep her at length from my lab.

The owner finally came out and got his little dog, and said “she does love to go after big dogs”… So, why the heck keep it off leash?????

Now, what would have happened if a frail person was walking a determined Shepherd, who may have wanted this little morsel of a dog as an appetizer?

Again, leash training is so important that I can’t say it often enough!!

If you are the owner of a Shepherd, then you have to consider commitment to training so that you have happy, well behaved and SAFE dog…
