PLAN FOR OUR ZEAL ...

6/24/2020

0 Comments

 
Zeal will be 1 year old in the summer 2020. Shortly after we will begin preparing for his first trial to earn his BH title, followed with confirmation show at the end of 2020.  In the winter he will travel to Europe, where he will receive continued breading survey training and title completion. After participating  in several confirmation shows, he will return back to us to US as a stud to approved females and sire to our summer 2021 litter, while he'll continue his career of earning working and show titles.  
​We are sitting on the edge of the seat, watching him grow with excitement!

PROTECT THE JOINTS

6/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Be sure your puppy gets plenty of exercise for his body and his brain. A German Shepherd puppy under a year old should never run long distance. ... No running up and down stairs, until your puppy is a year old. Remember, your puppy is still a baby and is growing fast. You need to protect its joints, so hopefully you can avoid any future problems like hip displaysia and elbow problems. Exercise/play for 10 minutes every hour or so is better than 2 hours at a time. Natural movement, playtime with you or other dogs and gentle flirt pole is a great activity time. 

And mental exercise will tired up your puppy as well :)

HOW CAN WE HAVE LONG COAT DOGS OUT OF SHORT COAT PARENTS?

6/17/2020

0 Comments

 
It is all about genetics ... German Shepherd long hair is caused by a recessive gene that any dog can carry. In fact, many breeders might not know that their dogs carry this gene until the puppies are born or till they have it tested.

NUTRITION FOR YOUR PUPPY

6/15/2020

0 Comments

 
Nutrition is the main foundation of your dog's heath that you can control. We feed with premier granulated dry dog food Royal Cannin/ Gold / German Shepherd Puppy and here is why.

When considering what to feed a dog with - decision is made based on what is the best for the dog's health and what is going to be the best choice to sustain chosen lifestyle of nutrition in the long term. We look at it in the same way, as we look at our own nutrition. Food prepping and great diet plans are fantastic, however not realistic for everyone. It is time demanding and it requires expertise, as well as it adds to the cost.

For more information - see NUTRITION section under Info For You.
