What should I look for in a Toy Poodle breeder?

What Happens If The Ears of German Shepherd Dog is Floppy? Why is the ears of my nine month old German Shepherd dog floppy? One of them is half floppy and the other one is fine. Is there a cure for floppy ears? How do you take care of a floppy ear German Shepherd? I heard to tape them? How can I tape them? What is a sure way of fixing my dog’s ears so they are both standing up straight?

Here’s a few pics and videos of Chase.

The Tale of Chase and His Half-a-Ball: A Long-Haired German Shepherd Love Story

There are dog lovers, and then there are staunch “my-dogs-are-my-co-pilots, my-shadow, my-ride-or-dies” type of dog lovers. My wife and I? Definitely the latter. And it all began with Chase, our Long-Haired German Shepherd born on 25th January 2023; a majestic and fluffy, fiercely loyal, and ridiculously stubborn dog with one very peculiar obsession: his prized possession, half-a-ball.

The Ball that Never Dies

Chase adored a particular toy above all others: a red ball. But let’s make no mistake—this is not a ball, and once it even ceased to exist. A long time ago, it did, and in fact Chase loved to fetch it—round, smooth and completely undamaged. However, now? Well, now it resembles an object of interest that has been subjected to a brutal archaeological dig. It overflows with bite marks, is disfigured beyond recognition, is in need of surgery, and quite frankly, had physics not intervened, would have ceased to exist by now.

As dutiful dog guardians, we engaged in speculative thinking. Why do we not attempt to acquire a new ball for him? Or, alternatively, how about two dozen brand new red balls that are identical to the first one? Since it was clear to us that the only issue was his lack of options. Makes sense, right?

No, not at all.

When Chase came out to play, he was greeted by several pristine new balls. Instead of running towards them like a sane dog, he sniffed them thoroughly and walked away as if he had just seen the antichrist. He didn’t even bother touching the fresh balls because at the end of the day, all he wanted was his half-ball. His one true love, the ball most people would disassociate with, is a half-chewed, nearly unrecognizable, blended piece of rubber that is coated with slobber. No other ball comes close to it.

Meet Skylar and Floppy: The Sister Duo

At this point, I am sure you have also deduced that Chase is our favorite dog in the family. For reasons that I am sure will be explained later, we can’t be normal people and leave him all by himself, hence, we got him two sisters. Now Chase was born on January 25, 2023, and so were his new sisters, making him a year older than the two. We surely love a good symmetric story.

Floppy most accurately describes the look of confusion, her ears thrown in different directions, give her a quirky, cartonish look style that can be also described as outright unique. Together with Skyler, who serves as the more excitement-driven dog, they have singlehandedly changed Chase’s life for the better, but the worst for Chase’s owners. The sweetest part? The lovely, heart-melting chaos they create while together.

The Three Musketeers (And Their Chauffeur—Me)

These three are a tight-knit group, and it is amusing to note that they would take my job if given the chance. They sit in the front row of the car when we go for rides together, which is a must. It gets pretty crowded because Chase assumes the shotgun role, while Skylar and Floppy scrunch up at the back like two misbehaved toddlers on a family trip.

As I am idling at stoplights, Chase scans the pedestrians and judges every single person’s life decisions while Sklyar and Floppy use the chance to bark at random objects. It is hard to get any gas without an event happening either. Whenever I leave the car unattended, all three dogs treat me like I am abandoning them and press their noses on the window as I step away until I come back.

The Ball Conspiracy Continues

With the arrival of two new sisters, one would assume that Chase would loosen up over the ball. Chase doesn’t share, nor does he seem inclined to. Everyone is baffled along with Skylar and Floppy because they are unaware of his bizarre dedication to the mangled ball. Those two other dogs would much rather chase the new red balls, which frustrates Chase to no end as he sits and perpetually observes the younger dogs, shaking his head in disbelief.

Now and then, Floppy makes an attempt to capture Chase’s half-ball to try understanding the excitement surrounding it, which is always an awful decision. Chase always gets it back with all the fervor of a person who is safeguarding the final piece of pizza at a party.

Life with The Trio

Our lives now center around three enormous, cute, spoiled, and incredibly funny dogs. Some bone of contention includes but is not limited to:

✅ Chase still not accepting the fact that his ball is not a ball anymore.

✅ Skylar being the main culprit of mischief.

✅ Floppy attempting to act like a baffled potato.

✅ All of them fighting for a ride in the car as if the car belongs to them.

We would not want it any other way.

So, if you ever spot a car zooming past with three extravagant Long Haired German Shepherds- one inconspicuously gripping a half-ball in his mouth while the other two stare in perplexment- you now have an idea as to who we are.

And if by chance you have a chewed up, barely recognizable red ball that is too damaged for any normal person to use, then to you Chase may just consider you his best pal.

P.S. Your guess is as good as mine on how we can convince Chase to replace the beloved trinket he keeps with a brand new, whole red ball. It’s safe to assume that whatever he has will remain. 🐾

Why is chocolate bad for my dog or any pet?

Why do dogs bury their bones, food or other items?

I have always wanted to own a German Shepherd dog. We have been renting for the past ten years and are about to close on a house. We have a small family, my wife, five year old son, and two year old daughter. I have heard so many great things about owning a German Shepherd dog and how easy they are to train and how great they are as protectors. How is it like owning a German Shepherd dog for a small family like ours. Much appreciated.

Here’s a cute German Shepherd dog playing boxing with a cat.

Does your dog keep checking on you? Here’s an informative video about why dogs keep on checking on you. First, dogs check on owners for protection. Second, older dogs will check on you because dog may have health issues such as early stage of dementia. Dogs can check on you because they want to play. Dogs can check on you because sense of security. Dogs can also check on you for reinforcement. Dogs can check on you due to routines. Dogs can check on you because of communication of events. Another reason for checking on you is love and bonding. Another reason to check on you because of curiosity.

Dogs is man’s best friend and most people will validate this statement. Every dog has its own personality and is unique in their own way. For example, if a Labrador Retriever has ten pups, each of those pups will look similar and some may look identical where it’s hard to distinguish from one to another unless they have its own birthmark or unique characteristic. However, each one of those pups will develop their own personality and temperament as well as behavior. AMAZING how God created each living being to be unique with its own individual trait. On a macro level, breed of dogs has its own breed characteristics such as a dog having to always be a runner due to being a hunting dog breed or a dog loving water because it came from a Retriever breed. Toy dogs love to cuddle. Some dog breeds are easier to train than others. There are dog breeds that form the strongest bonds with their owners. Below is the list of dogs that form the strongest bonds with their owners.

1. Labrador Retriever

2. Golden Retriever

3. German Shepherd

4. Doberman Pinscher

5. Border Collie

6. Boxer

7. Austrian Shepherd

8. French Bull Dog

9. Yorkshire Terrier

10. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

I am diligently doing my due diligence on adopting either a Doberman Pinscher or a German Shepherd puppy or young adult once I close on my first home. Can anyone tell me the character between Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds? My wife and I never had a large dog. We have young children and small dogs and cats. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Dogo Argentino is a very unique and expensive dog. Those who want to adopt a Dogo Argentino should study up and research the breed before pulling the trigger. I will give you a bunch of information about the Dogo Argentino. The breed was created in Argentina by Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez in the 1920s. It was made from various kinds of dogs including the extinct Cordoba Fighting Dog, Great Dane, Boxer, Spanish Mastiff, Old English Bulldog, Bull Terrier, Great Pyrenees, Pointer and Irish Wolfhound. You can buy a Dogo Argentino from reputable breeders who specialize in them or you could check out some breed-specific rescue centers too! Some general dog rescues might have one every now and then also.

Socialization is important when raising a Dogo Argentino. Early socialization is key—consistent training from an early age should be provided as well as lots of exercise and mental stimulation too. Establish yourself as the pack leader through proper nutrition and regular vet check ups. Engage them in activities that challenge them both physically & mentally.

The temperament of this breed is loyal and protective over its family but also confident & courageous – though sometimes stubborn or independent with other animals if not properly socialized.

Size: Males: 24-26.5 inches (61-67 cm) tall; 88-100 lbs (40-45 kg) Females: 23.5-25.5 inches (60-65 cm) tall; 88-95 lbs (40-43 kg)

Personality: -Affectionate with family -Protective & alert -Smart & athletic -Determined

Male vs Female: -Males are usually bigger and more dominant. -Females may be more independent but easier to train.

Colors: Mostly white with small dark patches on head

Trainability: -Moderately easy to train but can be stubborn. -Require firm consistent training. – Respond well to positive reinforcement

Good with kids and small dogs: – They can be good with children if raised with them and properly socialized. – High prey drive, so caution is needed around small dogs and other pets.

Cost: -From a breeder: $1,500 to $5,000. -Adoption fees from rescues: $300 to $800.

Lifespan of a Dogo Argentiono ranges between 10 to 12 years on average.

Dogo Argentinos need high exercise (1-2 hours daily) and moderate grooming. Dogo Argentino may be banned or restricted in some areas due to breed-specific legislation, like other dogs, such as Pit Bulls, Cane Corso, Old English Mastiff, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers. It is not recommended for first-time dog owners due to their strong personalities and exercise needs. Keep in mind that each dog has its own unique personality so training should always be done carefully with positive reinforcement methods used consistently throughout the process of teaching anything new especially commands which could save lives later on when they are older but still young at heart like most big breeds!

Do German Shepherd dogs require a fenced yard. My homebuyer finally found their forever house. Problem is the house is in South Barrington, Illinois where all homes are in subdivisions. Subdivision HOAs ban fences on all homes. Homes have a one acre minimum. My buyers put a deposit on two German Shepherd dogs wanted to put a fence for them. Their late Old English Mastiff never needed a fence. What are your thoughts on German Shepherd dogs. Are German Shepherd dogs runners in nature like hunting dogs or can they be trained to stay on your property without a fence.

Hunter Biden has been convicted of guns charges. What does this mean for the Joe Biden Administration. Besides gun charges, Hunter Biden was widely reported to have been under federal investigation related to potential tax issues and making a false statement in relation to a firearm purchase in 2018, but there has been no announcement of any convictions from reputable major news sources that I can find. Unless you have a confirmed report from a trustworthy journalistic outlet, it would be premature and potentially spread misinformation to state that Hunter Biden has definitely been convicted. The investigation appears to still be ongoing based on publicly available information. Without a conviction, this hypothetical scenario would not directly impact the Biden Administration. However, if there were confirmed charges or convictions brought against the President’s son related to taxes or firearms, it could potentially become a political issue. But substantiated facts would be required before making any definitive claims. Please let me know if you have a credible source reporting a conviction that I am unable to find.

It is fact checked that 100% of the dogs are Democrats. Here is a Pulitzur Winning Song about how canines are all Democrats and expect free things in life and do not work for things they need or want. So if you love dogs, you love Democrats:

Joe Biden, the President of the United States, had two German Shepherds named Champ and Major. Champ is the older of the two dogs and was with the Biden family before Joe Biden became President. Major is a rescue dog and was adopted by the Bidens in 2018. Please note that there may have been changes or developments since then, so I recommend checking the latest information for updates on the Biden family’s pets.

I have heard many conflicting stories about Illinois banning pets stores from selling puppies. If true, is this law just for Illinois or are there othere states? Or is it state by state? Is there any truth to this or is it another conspiracy story from FAKE NEWS. Thank you in advance.
