German Shepherd Lovers

Chase, my long-coat black and red German Shepherd adolescence pup was born on January 25th, 2023. I purchased Chase on September 12th, 2023 when he was eight months old. I was searching Long-Haired German Shepherd dogs on Hoobly (highly recommend this website if you are shopping for dogs) and found Dan Ivenovic, a breeder of German Shepherd and Doberman Pinschers – all German bloodlines and exotic rare long hair French Bulldogs). Dan Ivenovic is based in Deerfield, Illinois, which is 30 minutes from where I live. I talked back and forth with Dan Ivenovic for a few days over the phone about maybe getting two long-coat German Shepherd dogs and a time and date for seeing the dogs. On September 12th, 2023, Dan said he can drop the dogs to may house to see them and if I like them, I could purchase them. I told him that I just want one German Shepherd dog because the German Shepherd I am buying will be my 12th dog so just to bring one. Just so everyone knows, I do have 12 dogs and they are all inside dogs. At the time my wife and I had 11 dogs (Dog #1 Female Pit Bull that was a rescue where I had to adopt or the previous owners were moving to Florida and could not take her and a male Pitbull. The male Pit Bull, my friend and fellow loan officer Jose Morales adopted. Dog #2: Stella is a 8 year old grey female Standard Poodle who is a rescue. Stella and dozens of dogs were confiscated from a large puppy breeding mill by the Sheriff’s Department in Central Wisconsin. Stella was abused, undernourished, and was about to get transported to a kill county animal shelter. Dog #3: Four year-old French Bull Dog – Adopted last year from Highland, Illinois. Dog # 4: Five-year old four pound toy poodle. Dog #5: Five-year old five pound Yorkshire Terrier. Dog #6 and Dog #7: Five year old Boston Terrier brothers. Dog #8 eleven year old toy poodle. Dog #9: Five-year old toy poodle. Dog #10: Six-year old Schiz Szu-Pomeranian mix. Dog #11: Six-year old three pound Chihuahua. Chase makes it dog #12). So, when I adopted Chase, he was eight months old. He was very skittish, was not leash trained, was semi-potty trained, did not know how to sleep on a dog bed, did not know nothing about toys, did not know how to walk and down the stairs, did not know human food, ice cream, or treats, did not know how to walk into different rooms through a door, did not know how to get in and out of my truck, and did not know many things a normal eight month dog should know. I had to take him to the vet every other week because of warms and a stomach parasite which took six months to treat. Anyways, I spent a lot of time with him. Taught him the basics, took him for rides, introduced him to toys, and soon he started coming around. All his four-legged furry brothers and sisters eventually welcomed Chase into their group and he became part of the family. We also have three unfriendly skittish rescue cats. Chase gets along with everyone and doesn’t mind the little ones snapping at him or disrespecting him by stealing his toys or food. Eventually, Chase choose a red 16 inch ball as his favorite toy. He brings his red ball throughout the day to take him out to play fetch. I disregard him many times because I am in the middle of something to do for work. He then picks up his ball and drops it to me. He continues to do this half a dozen times and if I disregard him, he will pick up his red ball and throws it to me. I ignore him, his next move is he will pick up his red ball and hands it to me and while he is doing so, you can see the whites of his eyes. NOW, HOW CAN I SAY NO TO HIM. I then change my clothes to take him out so we can play catch one on one. I need to take him out of the house to play fetch because if I take home to the back yard, we get disrupted from the other dogs. When we both had enough, we both go back in the house. Not once does Chase let his red ball out of the house. I bought other similar balls for Chase but he only wants his beat up red ball. The point for this story is you will see pictures of Chase and most pictures Chase has his red ball

with him. German Shepherds are the best dog breed I have had. My first dog, Jeannie, was a female German Shepherd I had when I was a freshman in high school. My best friend, loyal, and was always with me wherever I went. I will save that story for a different separate thread. I highly recommend German Shepherd breed for those people who want to get a dog for their family. Many people think German Shepherd dogs will not get along with small dogs, cats, and children. NOT TRUE. I will explain my interactions with other people when I have Chase with me on separate posts. Here are some more photos of Chase.

Here is Chase first day of official training with Mark Chen. I need to work with Chase all week unit our next session with Mark Chen next Sunday at 1 pm. Also on the videos is Mark’s Dutch Shepherd Ellis. Chase learned to sit, down, stay, and jump on a bunker. Need lots of practice daily. Need to get a electric collar, chain training collar, and five different types of balls to reward him for next week. Mark Chen is a professional Shepherd trainer and trains obedience and protection for Dutch Shepherd Dogs, Belgian Malanois, and German Shepherd dogs. To fully trained Dutch Shepherd Dogs, it takes two fully years and many hours and commitment for both the dog and owner as well as the trainer. Ita like sending your child to Harvard undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. Reputable professional dog training programs cost six figures and commitment and dedication.

How Large Do German Shepherd Dogs Get? Can you please detail the size of males and female German Shepherds on how large they get compared to their age? For example, a chart how much a male German Shepherd dog weighs at three months, six months, nine months, twelve months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months. The same with female German Shepherd dogs. How much does a female German Shepherd dog weigh at three months, six months, nine months, twelve months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months. When is a German Shepherd dog fully grown and when do they reach full maturity level? Thank you in advance.

My big guy Chase, my German Shepherd Dog, has a baby sister. SKYLAR. Skylar is an eight month old female long coat black and red German Shepherd Dog from the same breeder Chase came from. Chase is neutered and i am going to get Skylar spayed in about six months. Skylar is underweight and skinny. You can feel the ribs when you pet her on the sides of her body. Skylar was the runt of the litter and was bullied on by her furry brothers and sisters. She was bit in many places and her siblings stole her portion of Dog food so that is why she is underweight and malnourished. Had a visit to the veterinarian and got her tested for worms 🪱 and parasites. Results came back negative. Skylar is takung a 14 day antibiotics program due to her scabs, a lump on her left side rib area due to blunt trauma and urinary infection and scratches on her vulva. She got her rabbits and puppy shots and weighs 52.5 pounds. Unfortunately Skylar is not fully potty trained nor obedience trained. I will work on a training regiment after a few weeks. Extremely skittish therefore I want her to get used to her new home and her new family and environment. Here are a few photos of Skylar and Chase. One of Skylar ears is floppy. I adopted Skylar on Sunday October 6th. Dan Ivenovic dropped her off the house. Dan has two other German Shepherd pups that are nine months. Please let me know if anyone is interested . Price is discounted. 9 months old.

What can you do if my one-year-old German Shepherd dog has floppy ears? Is there surgery, drugs, tape, to make the ears stand up?

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.

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.

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.

One of the most frequently asked questions about German Shepherd dogs is “are German Shepherd dogs good with children and other pets such as large dogs, toy breeds, cats, and birds. I can attest to mine and my first German Shepherd I had Jeannie when I was in high school. From my experience, there is no other dog than a German Shepherd dog that is better with other animals. I will address the if German Shepherd dogs are good with kids to my friend @Cpensacola Christy Hembree and my friend and wholesale account executive @@@TriciaJ Tricia James of Champion Mortgage. and my friend and client @peter Arcuri. I have 11 dogs and Chase, my German shepherd. Plus 3 cats and one African Grey parrot. Chase gets along with everyone. The dogs I have are

1. Female 2 year old Pit Bull adopted

2. EIGHT year old female Standard Poodle rescue

3. FIVE year old Shitz Szu and pomeranian mix

4. Eleven year old toy Poodle

5. FIVE year old teacup yorkshire terrier.

6. & 7. Two Boston Terrier Terrier.

8. FIVE year old teacup toy Poodle

9. FIVE year old toy Poodle.

10. Six year old teacup chihuahua rescue.

11. Two year old French Bull Dog adopted

#12:Chase my MAN. Long Hair GERMAN SHEPHERD dog.

Three one year old cats.

Chase gets along with everyone including the cats. However, Chase looks like a mean German Shepherd guard dog but acts like a teacup lap dog and cat. That’s because you are who you hang with. I may need to get him a brother or sister German Shepherd dog so he can act his age.

@WineGuy

Want to thank my dear friend @TriciaJ Tricia James our favorite preferred wholesale Mortgage Lender who has brought it to my attention of Animal Care LA County Shelter who are overwhelmed with dogs and cats in desperate need of foster care and permanent forever homes. I think this great organization needs help I am all in

Here’s videos of Chase. Chase was born January 25 2023 and has turned one year old. Very loveable, kind hearted, but everything is a game for him. I am going to start training Chase to become a well behaved German Shepherd puppy.

The German Shepherd Dog, often referred to simply as the German Shepherd or GSD, is a popular and versatile breed known for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. Here’s some information about the German Shepherd:

Origin of the German Shepherd: The breed originated in Germany in the late 19th century, developed primarily by Max von Stephanitz, who aimed to create the ideal working dog.

Appearance: German Shepherds are medium to large-sized dogs with a strong, muscular build. They have a distinctive double coat, which is usually tan and black, or red and black, although other color variations exist.

Temperament: They are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and courage. They are often used as working dogs in roles such as police, military, search and rescue, and as service dogs for people with disabilities.

Training: German Shepherds are highly trainable and eager to please, which makes them excellent candidates for obedience training and various dog sports. They thrive on mental and physical stimulation.

Health: Like all breeds, German Shepherds are prone to certain health issues, including hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and degenerative myelopathy. Responsible breeding and regular veterinary care can help mitigate these risks.

Exercise: They are an active breed and require regular exercise to stay mentally and physically healthy. Long walks, hikes, and play sessions are important for their well-being.

Socialization: Proper socialization from a young age is crucial for German Shepherds to ensure they grow up to be well-adjusted and confident around people and other animals.

Popularity: German Shepherds are consistently ranked among the most popular dog breeds worldwide due to their versatility, intelligence, and loyalty.

Overall, German Shepherds make excellent companions for active individuals and families who can provide them with the mental and physical stimulation they need. However, potential owners should be prepared for the commitment of time, training, and exercise required to raise a happy and healthy German Shepherd.

The primary difference between long-haired and short-haired German Shepherds lies in their coat length and texture:

Coat Length: Short-haired German Shepherds have a dense, double-layered coat with a close-lying outer coat and a soft undercoat.

Long-haired German Shepherds have a longer outer coat, which can be straight or slightly wavy, with a dense undercoat as well.

Appearance:

Short-haired German Shepherds have a sleeker appearance with a well-defined body outline due to the close-lying coat.

Long-haired German Shepherds tend to have a more elegant appearance due to the longer coat, which may give them a softer, more flowing look.

Maintenance:

Short-haired German Shepherds generally require less grooming compared to their long-haired counterparts. They typically need regular brushing to control shedding.

Long-haired German Shepherds require more frequent grooming to prevent matting and tangling of their longer coats. They may need more extensive brushing and occasional trimming.

Suitability:

Short-haired German Shepherds are often preferred for working roles such as police or military work, as their shorter coat can be more practical and easier to maintain in certain environments.

Long-haired German Shepherds are sometimes preferred as family pets due to their softer appearance and potentially gentler temperament. They may also be favored in colder climates due to the extra insulation provided by their longer coat.

Genetics:

Both long-haired and short-haired German Shepherds can occur in the same litter. The long-haired trait is a recessive gene, so both parents must carry the gene for their offspring to have long hair. Consequently, long-haired German Shepherds are less common but not rare.

In terms of temperament and behavior, there isn’t a significant difference between long-haired and short-haired German Shepherds. Both types are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility in various roles such as companions, working dogs, and service animals. I like long haired German Shepherd dogs and would always want to raise the long hair German Shepherd with black and red with a black mask.

Cindy Kelly is the president, owner, and head of operations at Regis Regal German Shepherds headquartered in Spring Grove, Illinois. Cindy is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate breeders of any dog breeds I have consulted with. Cindy takes passion for her champion bloodline German Shepherd dogs and will not sell her German Shepherd pups to anyone. There is no doubt there are many imitation German Shepherd breeders. Just because you have female and male German Shepherd dog and have puppies does not mean that you are now a professional German Shepherd breeder.

A great dog breeder, like Cindy Kelly of Regis Regal German Shepherds is characterized by several key attributes and practices:

Commitment to Health and Welfare of the parent German Shepherds as well as the pups: The top priority for any reputable breeder is the health and well-being of their dogs. This includes ensuring that breeding dogs are healthy, genetically tested for hereditary diseases common in their breed, and well cared for in terms of nutrition, exercise, and veterinary care.

Breed Knowledge and Expertise: A great breeder is knowledgeable about their chosen breed(s), including breed standards, temperament, behavior, and specific health concerns. They should be able to provide guidance and information to potential buyers about the breed’s characteristics and needs.

Selective Breeding Practices: Responsible breeders carefully select breeding pairs based on genetic health, temperament, and conformation to breed standards. They aim to improve the breed with each generation and avoid breeding dogs with known health issues or undesirable traits.

Ethical and Transparent Practices: Transparency is essential in all aspects of breeding, including providing accurate information about the lineage, health records, and any potential risks associated with the breed. Ethical breeders are open to questions and concerns from prospective buyers and are willing to provide ongoing support and advice after the sale.

Proper Socialization and Environmental Exposure: Puppies raised by reputable breeders are typically well-socialized from a young age, exposed to different environments, people, and experiences to help them develop into well-adjusted adults.

Responsible Placement of Puppies: Great breeders carefully screen potential buyers to ensure that their puppies are going to suitable homes where they will receive proper care and attention. They may require potential buyers to fill out questionnaires, conduct interviews, or even visit their facilities before agreeing to sell a puppy.

Continued Involvement and Support: A good breeder doesn’t wash their hands of the puppies once they are sold. They are available to provide ongoing support, advice, and guidance to new puppy owners throughout the dog’s life.

Involvement in the Dog Community: Many reputable breeders are actively involved in dog shows, competitions, or breed clubs. This involvement helps them stay informed about the latest developments in their breed and allows them to network with other knowledgeable individuals in the dog community.

Adherence to Legal and Ethical Standards: Great breeders adhere to all applicable laws and regulations related to breeding, licensing, and animal welfare. They also follow ethical guidelines set forth by reputable breeding organizations and breed clubs.

Lifetime Responsibility for Their Dogs: A responsible breeder takes responsibility for every dog they breed, regardless of age or circumstances. They should be willing to take back any dog they have bred if the owner can no longer care for it, to ensure the dog’s well-being and prevent it from ending up in a shelter or rescue.

Cindy Kelly of Regis Regal German Shepherds in Spring Grove, Illinois knows her dogs and knows German Shepherd. I like to add more to this review but am running late for my appointment. Please feel free to contact me or write to me if you need a reference and one of the most kindest, knowledgeable, experienced, and humble breeders I met and now I am a fan of Cindy Kelly, Owner and founder of Regis Regal German Shepherds headquartered in Spring Grove, Illinois.
