  1. Health Issues
    Hi all, my GSD has been combatting allergies for the longest time. Recently, I noticed a “blister” between one of his toes. It's not the first time he gets one of these, but I don't remember them bothering him this much. He doesn't seem to be licking, but he is limping. I know the blister is...
  2. General Information
    Is it necessarily to have a yard for that breed? If I'm at work and a few errands and can be back after 10 hours of absence, can the GSD stay occupied and entertained while that happens? If adopting, how difficult it is to train (let's say) a 5 year old GSD who had little to no training? Is it...
  3. Health Issues
    Hi all, my GSD's allergic reactions have begun once again. Nothing new, but, I would like to help his wounds heal before they become infected.

  4. Health Issues
    Hi all, My GSD has been battling allergies for nearly his entire life, from itchy & flaky skin, to reoccurring hot spots and infections. I have not been able to get a straight answer from the vet or his dermatologist on any of his allergy-related treatments, which may be understandable since...

  6. Aggression (the good, the bad & the ugly)
    Hi all, My GSD is quite reactive towards his vet, he doesn't let her take blood samples, give vaccinations, examine his ears, paws, etc. We've tried a couple of vets, with no luck. My dog had an aural hematoma a few weeks ago, and he would not cooperate with the vet. Additionally, when he...
  7. Health Issues
    Hi all, My 5 year old Gsd has an aural hematoma on both ears. One side is bigger than the other, so that ear is drooping. His vet prescribed some prednisone to help the ear's blood vessels reabsorb the blood. My concern is that his ear won't go back up, what are your thoughts on this, and how...
  8. Basic Care
    Hi all, During the hot summer days, my dog gets skin issues quite frequently. He gets lots of hotspots. They usually go away after applying certain creams/sprays, but occasionally they become major infections. Additionally, even when they don't become infected, it bothers me that he gets them...

  14. General Information
    I've been wanting to get a German Shepherd for a long time and I was just wondering if I bought a female puppy for myself and if she would be okay to (of course with boundaries and carefully introducing each other) meet the family dog Bailey who is a Westie. Any thoughts?
  15. General Information
    Hey guys, I recently purchased a 2-month-old GSD puppy from a breeder a couple of days ago and people suggested that he might not be purebred. So I decided to ask on here and see what you guys think on whether he is a purebred GSD or not, thanks!

  20. General Behavior
    I have a one year old white German Shepherd that loves to eat her own poop. I can’t let her off the leash because she will literally sniff out poop to eat when we go on walks. It scares me that one day she’ll eat infested poop and she’ll get sick. She hardly eats and when she does it’s only at...
