What are the differences between a male and female German Shepherd?
This is a common question for many families. The general differences are males tend to be larger in both weight and size than females. Male dogs will bond easier with a female owner and females tend to bond easier with a male owner. Male German Shepherds can be more aggressive than females, but both can be socialized and trained. |
Are all German Shepherds aggressive?
The German Shepherd dog is bred for protection and companionship and aggression in some form is part of their DNA. It is their instinct to be the enforcer and protector. A temperament test during a puppies early weeks will give a clue of the level of aggression that puppy may have. The responsible owner will train and socialize their German Shepherd puppy to re-enforce this instinct or to subdue it. German Shepherd puppies need more socialization and for a longer period of time than those of other breeds. As a responsible dog owner you can minimize your puppies aggression to strangers, and small animals by reinforcing socialization and good manners. Socialization and training does not stop when the puppy completes puppy classes! This is an ongoing skill you must practice with them their whole lives.

Why does my dog drink from the toilet?
Dogs that like to drink from the toilet do so because they like fresh, running water more than the stagnant water in their dish, and toilets are frequently flushed to refresh the water!!!
