A Dog thread

That's a pomeranian? That thing's huge. For a pom, of course.

Blue Heeler. Rides in the truck, (currently sleeping by my feet at my office) and sleeps with us. Housebroken, obviously.

Both muts but Black lab (mixed with?) and Golden retriever (mixed with chow)




Both really good with the little man. Couldn't ask for better dogs

2 dachsunds

This one is mine. 5 years old Dackel (as we call them in Germany).

What breed(s) do you currently own? Is it house trained? How many dogs do you own? Are the indoor? What kind/brand of dog food do you feed it? Blah blah blah

I have a 3.5 month old male Great Dane. He is house trained for the most part, occasionally he has an accident although they are getting a lot more infrequent. He is our only dog and stays indoors.

Great Danes are tough to feed, due to the fact that they grow tremendously fast. It is detrimental to a GD puppy to feed them normal puppy food, as it has way too much protein and can cause bone/muscle problems for them. We feed Marlin Blue Buffalo Freedom

I have a GSD, he just turned 2..I wasn't a dog fan at the time, while my girl is an avid dog owner(she works in the field, too), so she convinced me..I was converted, pretty easily, tbh..

He was house trained quickly, only had a few accidents..he's smart as , he learns everything quickly..he's one of the biggest GSDs I have ever seen, tbh, and we hear about it from strangers at virtually any park we visit..

Unfortunately, he has even worse social issues than the typical GSD, particularly with protecting his territory..he has improved immensely in the past year, though..being self-employed has aided in his training and overall improvement, he has a nice temperament..

He's currently a 100 lbs, he's still lanky, though, he'll probably peak at 115-120, based on the size of his parents..






First pic is at 4 months, the other 2 are at 1.5 years old..he isn't nearly as big as the 2nd pic, but I enjoy how it turned out..

nice looking GS, HH.

i'm a bit weary of german shepherds tbh..too many unstable bloodlines due to rampant backyard breeding. can't stand those ones you can't trust to not ing randomly flip out and bite someone everytime you have company. like many other breeds, they SHOULD be great dogs but too many dumbasses have bred and owned them over the years.

I was very selective when I picked my GS because of those concerns. Many GS breeders in my area are subpar in that they don't ensure the utmost temperament. These temperamental inadequacies range from lack of socialization with humans/other animals, lack of order in household (Alpha is not identified leading to more aggressive GS), and not having a firm hand on your GS in its puppy years.

As you can tell though, those reasons all have something in common with regard to the underlying root of all problems: a ty/coward owner.

I wasn't alone in raising my GS, and I have my family to thank for that.

Dogs are copro es. All of them love to litter box dive.

Also be careful with bloat when feeding with the Great Danes. My mom has lost two to it and it can happen very quickly.
