Red and black German Shepherd puppies are large and intelligent working dogs needing daily exercise and mental stimulation. They love water, walks, runs, games of fetch and catch the Frisbee. Make sure you have the right home for this soon to be large and energetic dog.
Working dogs bred to herd and to guard sheep, today they're show dogs, family pets, military and police dogs, search and rescue canines. They're prized for their strength, intelligence, courage, and loyalty. Wary of strangers, they're gentle with children they know. Socialization and obedience training are a necessity to ensure their guarding instinct doesn't turn into aggression.
German Shepherd puppies need a 25% protein puppy food to develop strong bones. Mealtime should be 20 minutes then put food away. Don't burden developing bones with excess weight. Feed three times a day for six months, then reduce to 2 meals per day.
Collect recommendations from parent breed and local kennel clubs. Attend a show or talk to veterinarians, groomers, and obedience trainers. Don't look at any puppies until you've selected a breeder you trust, one that's knowledgeable about the breed and its health issues. Good breeders guarantee their puppies. They're committed to the welfare of their litters and take back a dog of any age if the owner can't take care of it for any reason.
Visit with the parent dogs. They should be healthy and display a stable temperament. Check their registration papers. Meet and play with the litter. The breeder can help you pick a puppy with the best temperament for your family. Ask if the litter has been dewormed, and what shots they've had.
Find out what has been done to socialize the puppies. Continue to socialize by regular exposure to new sights, smells, noises, and social situations. Take your dog on car rides. Introduce your new puppy to a variety of people at your home and away from home.
Expect the breeder to ask you questions. They want to place their puppies in a forever home. Expect questions about your understanding of the breed, make-up of your household including other pets, living space available, plans for obedience training and exercise.
There are several bloodlines with different purposes such as working, show conformation, or police and military dogs. Long hair is considered a fault by the American Kennel Club but is accepted in Europe. Where ever you live, you'll find long coat German Shepherd breeders that love and breed German Shepherd long coat puppies. Some have the traditional double coat. True long hairs lack the undercoat resulting in a smooth, silky look.
