  • 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.

If you are thinking of adding a German Shepherd to your family, make sure that this is the right breed for you. This breed of dog is a very strong dog, both in body strenght, and in spirit. They require attention, love, and training.  And, they function best within a family unit if you do have some purpose/job for you shepherd.  Just as kids need chores, so will your dog.

Secrets Of: Dog Training Your Shepherd:  This comprehensive guide is written
by renowned dog trainer Daniel Stevens, who currently heads the Kingdom

Puppies grow fast, and at the awkward stage of a growing puppy, German Shepherds can be very strong, and very awkward, able to knock down the elderly, weak and young.  Also, puppies love to cheew…they could damage your furniture of not lovingly trained.

The first few years can be difficult for you and your dog.  He will need firm, loving training and handling. They also love to run, play outside and learn to do “stuff” outside. An active owner is best for this breed of dog.  On the other hand, owning two dogs and a large fenced in yard also helps.  Remember, dogs are pack animals.  They love company and activity and purpose.

German Shepherds have the very nature of being sociable. They love attention and companionship.
If you will leave your dog alone all day, perhaps you need to think of a different breed. Do your homework!

A well trained dog will make an amazing family dog.  If you raise your dog with kids, you will see that these are one of the most tolerant dogs for beeing poked, squeezed and prodded.

Often your growing puppy will use his teeth with the kids and toys and this can result in scratches. Young children can get the puppy excited, and then your puppy will want to wrestle and even chase — this is what they would do with their own litter pups.

You will need an extra dose of patience, love, firmness and training, but, to the owners of these beautiful, majestic dogs, it is all worth it.
