Kauf eines GSD-Welpen The first project is to research the breed thoroughly. Is this breed right for you and your way of life. Speak to owners, trainers and breeders. You need to understand the costs, vet fees, food, training and equipment such as indoor crates, collars, leads and bedding. Do you have the time to commit to a a German Shepherd. It`s not just the training and exercise involved but the German Shepherd is a very sociable dog and loves nothing more than time to spend time with their family. If he will be home alone for hours and hours every day this could cause the dog some anxiety and could become destructive. The German Shepherd is a double coated breed and this does need grooming and they shed hair. Finding a breeder and litter is next. Ensure you have a list of questions ready when contacting breeders. Avoid text messages and try to actually speak to the breeder. Some may prefer an e-mail in the first instance as they may be holding waiting lists. Be prepared to answer questions from the breeder, a responsible breeder will what to know about you, your family, work life and so on, do not get offended, it is a big decision for both parties. Vital points to look when looking for a litter. Learn to decipher adverts and buzz words. The price does not always reflect the experience of the breeder and the quality of the breeding. Straight backs are not linked to health and longevity. If the colour is "rare" it is probably not a recognised GSD colour and as such is not worth more money. Both parents are Kennel Club registered or registered in their country of birth. Some dogs are imported and some make take their females abroad to use certain bloodlines. You also want to ensure that the litter will be Kennel Club registered. Pleases note to hear that Kennel Club registration does NOT mean the parents are health tested. Only buy puppies from health tested parents. Ideally both hips and elbows. Ideally both hips and elbows. There are no excuses and if the breeder cannot supply the documentation the health tests can be verified on the kennel club health test finder website. There is no limit set on health tests but the GSD League recommend the hips are below 20 (maximum of 12 on one side) and the elbows are a maximum of 1. There are other tests available such as PD (Pituitary Dwarfism), DM or CDRM (Degenerative Myelopathy, or Chronic Degenerative Radiculomyelopathy) The current test for DM applies only to the EXON 2 gene and is no guarantee your dog will not develop DM at a later date. Haemophilia test is available and is currently required for a male to pass a UK breed survey. A UK version of DNA testing is also available for proof of parentage. Many and increasingly so, with international recognition of the scheme required for breeding and competition, have their dogs health tested under the SV Scheme, Parents should be Normal, fast normal or noch zugelassen on both hips and elbows . DNA test is also required . NB Although the SV scheme is used and recognised worldwide the Kennel Club does not acknowledge and record these requirements and do not appear on Kennel Club pedigrees. DNA is for proof of parentage. Absolutely is a must is to see the mother with her puppies (not many breeders own the stud dogs so you wont always be able to meet the father). Some females are sometimes very protective when they have puppies but should never be aggressive. Watch her behaviour, is she shying away, avoiding the puppies, avoiding the breeder. Is she in good physical condition (even feeding a large litter , if she is cared for properly and healthy she will have good body and coat condition). Some breeders may not allow visitors to the home so use technology where you can. You need to be assured the person owns the mother and if they will not show you live videos of her and the puppies then walk away. Next is viewing the litter. A responsible breeder will want to meet you and the whole family that will be caring for the puppy. If the breeder has other dogs meet them too. Look how confident the dogs are and their general condition. This will give you an insight as to the breeders care and experience but also as to the size your puppy will grow to. Depending on the age of the litter when you first view them, will dictate how interactive you can be with them but you must always be guided by the breeder. Again make sure you see the mother with the puppies, there is no excuses not to. Does she interact wit them, are they healthy, playful (puppies do sleep a lot), there shouldn`t be any odours and there skin should be clean. The most common practice is to leave a deposit once you have viewed them and both you and the breeder are happy. Make sure you receive a receipt for this. GSD`s are advertised in various places and can differ much in price. An expensive puppy is no guarantee of quality, homework should be done, minimum criteria must be good hips and elbows as described above. Puppy identification via microchipping is now law and puppies must have this form of ID before they are sold. Tattooing is also a form of identification but this is now done together with microchipping. If there is anything you are unsure about, then you must walk away. Do not accept any excuses for lack of health tests or not being able to see the mother with the puppies. No matter how much or how little experience you have with owning a German Shepherd, it is vital to chose a breeder that will give you ongoing support in the future. Paperwork and puppy pack should be supplied with your puppy. Many breeders differ greatly in what is supplied but Kennel Club registration and microchipping details are a must, Worming details, the puppy should have been wormed as a matter of course and information given as to any possible future treatment. Dog food should be supplied with your puppy, again this will help you determine a good breeder, a high quality should have been fed to your puppy to give it the best start in life. Four weeks free insurance is often given by good breeders. KENNEL CLUB REGISTRATION - the kennel club holds the history of all breeds of dogs registered with it. BEWARE of puppies advertised as simply REGISTERED. This may mean they are registered with another organisation and parentage may be dubious with little or no history of the ancestors and health tests. Buying a puppy needs to be a positive and joyful experience so ensure you choose your breeder carefully. Now the fun begins!!!

Spielen Sie Beißen Play biting Tolerance to touch Toilet training Puppy teeth Crate training Heatstroke Adolescence Nutrition Dogs and toys Dwarfism Dog friendly garden Christmas time Fireworks Physical games including play biting are natural games puppies play with each other and when you bring your puppy home he may try to play the same games with you. Pups which are highly motivated can charge at owners, jumping up, nip hands and bite and tug on clothes. If this is directed at a child who starts to cry or run or tries to push the pup away this may be misinterpreted by the puppy as being a playful response from the child who is now joining in the pup`s game. Trying to cope with the pups increasingly rough attempts to initiate play, demand and dictate play by giving and doing what it wants will make it more likely that the pup will increase its play biting to get what it wants in the future, which can soon become a never ending battle of nipping, biting and jumping up. Trying to hit or grab the pup will probably make him become rougher as to him you are responding and joining in his game or he may feel he has to defend himself against your increasing anger. It is very important to avoid the stimulation and excitement escalation that go with physical punishment or restraint. Resorting to distraction tactics during a play biting situation like throwing a ball or waving a piece of food in front of the pups face to end the nipping can actually reward the pups demanding behaviour and rough style of play. In fact is learning to be even more pushy when he wants to play or get attention because it always works. Just ignoring him whilst he continues to chew on your hand or grab your clothing or leaving the room while he changes his target to someone else or decides to have a wonderful time rearranging the cushions or pruning the house plants will be completely ineffective in changing his problem behaviour. Using any form of harsh punishment is also counter productive. It may indeed stop the biting attack at the time. However it holds no instruction to the puppy to encourage and develop more acceptable behaviour for the future. So what to do to control puppies masquerading as sharks. It is quite a common problem with pups displaying a varying degrees of the behaviour with some becoming more difficult to cope with especially for the companion dog owner. The relationship and bond that a dog has as a family companion is special with most puppies given sensible guidance early on, unruly behaviour gives way to a more controlled, calmer attitude as the pup grows up. But some are more persistent and intervention is needed to communicate to the puppy in a way it can understand amore more acceptable behaviour and relationship. One method is to use the consistent application of an interrupting sound to temporarily supress the problem behaviour every time it happens combined with an immediate procedure which encourages the puppy to engage in acceptable play or behaviour. There is an important difference in communication to the puppy which behaviour we want between using distraction tactics or interruption tactics. For example with distraction tactics the puppy is fully engaged in still chewing on your hand at the same time being rewarded for it because a toy or food is being offered to him. With interruption tactics he has stopped or not quite even started chewing on your hand before being offered the toy or food so he is now being rewarded for the behaviour we want "NO BITING" An interruption sound is most effective if it happens just before the pup launches a mouthing attack on hands or clothes. To do this carry or place around the house a noise making device such as a small container with some pebbles in which can be shaken to make a loud noise, or a commercially bought "pet corrector" which is a small cannister that gives off a loud hiss when the top is pressed-handy to keep in a pocket. The intention is to startle the pup not to hurt him. His reaction will be one of surprise on hearing the sound causing him to temporarily stop his actions. At this exact moment you must fill this moment of inaction (otherwise he will go back to whatever he was ding before) by encouraging the pup to play in a more acceptable way with a toy by wiggling or rolling a ball along the ground close to him, keeping his attention on the toy. If he shows interest in your hands again, quickly repeat the interrupting sound and re encage him onto the toy. With some puppies just a stern "ah ah" can interrupt an unwanted behaviour, before giving an incompatible behaviour to focus on, he cannot be tugging on a sleeve if he is being rewarded for a sit. Some experimentation may be needed here because of individual differences between pups in their reactions to various sounds. It should not be difficult to find something that is effective. The sound should be enough to stop the problem behaviour immediately and every time but not so severe the puppy becomes extremely fearful and reluctant to approach at all. Always remember once a problem behaviour is interrupted you must reward an acceptable behaviour immediately. The puppy must be able to associate his rough behaviour with the consequences the sound he finds unpleasant. Therefore he will learn that his action-nipping and biting causes a reaction the startle sound which he will want to avoid. The moment he starts to get too pushy and rough the interrupting sound will pin point the exact moment he must stop. Any lack of clarity or consistency on your part about the threshold he must not cross will make improvement in his behaviour very slow, because he will not understand what he can and cannot do. For the pup to learn to inhibit the force of any mouthing, bites or rough interaction you must be consistent with the timing of the interrupting sound and very importantly remain calm while showing the pup the behaviour he can engage in. It can take some time but the better you are the quicker he will learn. To satisfy the pups motivation to play and be active in the games you teach him, such as find the toy hidden just out of sight encouraging him to use his nose as well as his eyes. Make it easy to find to start with to keep him interested. Include mental stimulation of highly rewarded gentle obedience training. Call him to you, calmly tell him to sit then reward with a titbit or resume play interacting with a toy. Teach him to lie down, wait, come when called, there is so much your clever puppy can do, giving him a positive outcome for his energy. Just something to bear in mind when trying to stop play biting. In a litter of puppies all is peaceful as they sleep, but one is awake, bored and wants to play. So he rushes up, pounces on an unsuspecting litter mate and gives a sharp nip. The other puppy responds and chases the attacker. The game is on. The very game your pups previous taught him how to get you to play. For play biting to decrease it is also important to follow some general management rules. Adding more opportunities for the puppy to take part in controlled interesting physical and mental games (suitable for his age) where success can stimulate the rewards brain chemistry and change his emotions to be more relaxed, instead of driving everyone crazy with unruly behaviour and continuous pestering to play. No more games of rough and tumble encouraging the puppy to bite and grab hands. Always supervise young children with the puppy. If your puppy does something you don`t let it happen again. Plan the incompatible rewarding behaviour. Concentrate on conditioning a well behaved puppy. Notice and reward desired human - puppy interactions. Locating and joining a good puppy class can be extremely beneficial. If possible find a GSD club. Overtime as other suitable behaviours are reinforced with clear calm instructions the puppy will abandon rough play to gain attention or hard nipping to try to push the family as he would his litter mates. All puppies and households are different and any behaviour modification especially rough play biting is an on-going process and should be appropriate for the individual situation.

Junior handling at WUSV/GSDL-BRG regional events. Deutsche Schäferhundliga von Großbritannien Junior Handling Seit seiner Einführung bei den WUSV/GSDL-BRG-Regionalveranstaltungen erfreut sich das Junior-Handling immer größerer Beliebtheit. Die Klassen werden in zwei Altersgruppen eingeteilt. 6-11 und 12-16 Für jede Altersgruppe wurde eine eigene Liste mit Fragen erstellt, und einige dieser Fragen werden jedem Nachwuchsführer vor der Vorstellung seines Hundes gestellt. (Das Erlernen verschiedener Körperteile und des Rassestandards des Deutschen Schäferhundes hat sich auch als sehr lehrreich erwiesen.) Anschließend führt jeder Junior-Führer den Hund auf genau die gleiche Weise vor, wie dies auch für alle anderen Klassen der Fall wäre. Die Richter erwarten in dieser Phase keine Perfektion und helfen dem Jugendlichen bei der Erziehung. Die ersten regionalen Veranstaltungen begannen im Jahr 2013 und haben dazu geführt, dass viele der Nachwuchsführer sich mittlerweile weiterentwickelt haben und ihnen von Züchtern und Ausstellern die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, in den wettbewerbsintensiveren Klassen zu kämpfen. Jährliche Top-10-Auszeichnungen Unser Ziel ist es, unseren jungen Handlern größtmögliche Aufmerksamkeit zu verschaffen und sie alle über die Website der GSD League zu bewerben. Können die Eltern unserer Junior-Handler bitte ihre Fotos beim Handling bei verschiedenen Veranstaltungen zur Verfügung stellen? Damit erklären Sie sich mit der Veröffentlichung der Fotos auf der GSDL-Website einverstanden. Kontaktieren Sie dinura@hotmail.co.uk

Gesundheit & der Deutsche Schäferhund Im Großen und Ganzen ist der Deutsche Schäferhund ein robuster, kräftiger und gesunder Hund, sehr kontaktfreudig und freundlich mit einer guten Langlebigkeit. Diese Tatsachen gelten sicherlich für Welpen, die von seriösen Züchtern gekauft wurden, die sich über viele Jahre hinweg konsequent darum bemüht haben, ihre Zuchttiere einem Gesundheitstest zu unterziehen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Röntgenaufnahmen der Hüfte und neuerdings auch des Ellbogens. Es ist jedoch unvermeidlich, dass bei der Diskussion von Gesundheitsthemen die mit einer einzelnen Rasse verbundenen Probleme im Vordergrund stehen und nicht die allgemeine Gesundheit dieser Hunderasse. Ein in der breiten Öffentlichkeit weit verbreiteter Irrglaube ist, dass die Schauhaltung des Deutschen Schäferhundes zu Problemen mit dem Hinterteil beiträgt. Das ist völlig falsch. Bei der Ausstellung wird der Hund nur für einen Bruchteil der Zeit, vielleicht 30 Sekunden, platziert, während sein Körperbau beurteilt wird. HÜFTE & ELLENBOGEN-SYSTEME BVA/KC HD & ED - Das im Vereinigten Königreich anerkannte Programm, das ursprünglich von der GSD League eingeführt und betrieben wurde und nun auf alle Rassen ausgeweitet wurde. HD Die Werte für jede Hüfte liegen zwischen 0 und 53, was einen Wert zwischen 0 und 106 ergibt. Je niedriger die Punktzahl, desto besser sind die Hüften. Die ED-Werte liegen für jeden Ellbogen zwischen 0 und 3. Je niedriger der Wert, desto besser. Abweichend von der HD-Wertung beträgt die Höchstpunktzahl insgesamt 3. Seriöse Züchter befolgen die vom GSD-Zuchtrat aufgestellten Richtlinien. Bei HD sollte für die Zucht kein Wert über 20 mit einem Unterschied von nicht mehr als 4 zwischen beiden Hüftseiten verwendet werden. Für ED sollte für die Zucht kein Wert über 1 verwendet werden. SV HD & ED - Dieses Schema. wird vom SV in Deutschland betrieben und ist durch die WUSV weltweit anerkannt und anerkannt. Sowohl Hüfte als auch Ellenbogen werden geröntgt und bewertet. Für die Zucht sind drei Klassen zugelassen: „Normal“, „Fast Normal“ und „Noch Zugelassen“. Übersetzung – normal, nahezu normal und immer noch akzeptabel.
