Doggiedad no wheres is safe if Jamaica there is alot of theives gun men etc. trust me every day at least 3-4 people die in Jamaica ,and i meant how to make it protective i just realised their totally different things ;[ i spoke to a trainer and he should be training for protection in the next 1- 1 and a half years
Brandon, could you put your location as Jamaica in your profile? That way it will appear below your username in all your posts and people will see that you're in another country when they go to give you advice.

If my brother kicked my puppy, he would have my size 9-1/2EEEE shoe implanted on his backside!
Isn't it nice that the internet has shrunk the world, and no longer is being from a different country or culture an excuse for not having information available?
The reason we get on a message board and ask a question is because we think that what the people around us are telling us about something might not be right or the best way to go about something.
Kicking a puppy can make it fearful and unpredictably aggressive. Train and socialize your puppy so that he has plenty of experiences to draw from, if he in an ok but strange experience he will not do something that is not wanted. When he is old enough he can be trained for protection work, though I like the idea of geese in the yard much better.
I agree with everyone else, a GSD is no match for a gun-toting bad guy. My GSDs determ house breakers, as they are looking for an easy buck. They will generally see the dog and find another house to break into. Having a dog that will bark its head off every time anyone comes near the dwelling is worth something.
Lastly, GSDFan, I would rather people say directly what they mean, and not find a nicer way to say something. I think that befuddles stuff too much. Giving a one liner saying that the OP does not deserve a dog, or writing three paragraphs that boil down to the OP does not deserve a dog, well the one-liner can easily be agreed with or disagreed with. And the chances are the longer sweeter post is much more likely to be misunderstood by one or more people.
I think that we cannot judge by the post whether he deserves a GSD for the following reason:
Let's say I just bought my first working line shepherd from a well-known working line shepherd producer. It is nine weeks old, and I intend to train it for schutzhund. Should I wait until the dog is 18 months old to ask what I need to do? I should be on the Schutzhund thread NOW asking how I should raise this dog differently than my pets, what games to play, what situations I should avoid, what early training I should do.
This guy bought a puppy he intends to grow into a good guard dog from guard dog sire and dam. He is asking how to go about getting him to that level. It kills us to hear how do I make my puppy aggressive. But if the same question was framed differently, I intend to train this puppy for schutzhund, specifically protection work, what do I need to do with him, I think the answers would have been different.
He is not kicking the puppy, his brother is. Nothing wrong with us telling him to put his brother in a coma for then next eighteen months. But what he wants to know is whether this will be a problem when it comes time to train the puppy for guarding. And many of you did say that the pup will be fine so long as it stops NOW. And I tend to agree. The puppy will likely forget this first traumatic week.

From what I've read, the puppy may become aggressive if you don't protect him. But not in your favor.
You got a puppy. To protect you. That's like hiring a baby to be your body guard. How much sense does that make?
Even if this dog does grow up to love you and lives for you and breathes for you, that doesn't mean that he'll have the drive to do what you want him to do. Yes, he'll probably protect you if a certain situation calls for it, but he may not. If he doesn't have the right drive, you most likely won't be able to TRAIN him for it.

Great response.
This dog needs to be rehomed to a responsible and intelligent owner.

I've read the OP's other posts. He is trying to be responsible, keep his puppy safe, and he is on here asking questions so he can raise his puppy correctly. He's on here asking for medical advice, and is actually seems a bit of a worrier when it comes to that. And he's taking his puppy to the vet when he thinks something is wrong.
Sue and Konotashi's posts are the most helpful on this thread. I hope Brandon reads them and learns from them.

If he would kick a 9 week old pup i would hate to see what he would do to a baby crawling round the house
No one would be game to even raise there voice to my dogs, not that there aggressive, but i am when it comes to them lol
But as said above, socialize him and make sure if your brother comes near him you step between the dog and him make a fuss and dont let him any where near the pup, pricks like that need more than a good slap around the head.
Most of the time a GSD is a good enough deterrent to bad dudes will protect its family without training as long as its looked after, some times i think there is a little to much information available out there:help:

Brandon, you might want to navigate down into the section here on Schutzhund and protection sports. That is not my thing. But, there may be excellent posts on how to start a puppy, what to do with the puppy.
My guess is you want to build the puppy's confidence. Play tug with the puppy, use a flirt pole -- I am sure there are posts down there about this. It will improve drives and get the puppy more confident.
A protection dog needs to be healthy, athletic, obedient, and have natural drives and energy -- again I am not an expert on this, people down there will be better, and have better stuff to say.
Right now, learn all you can, read all you can, love and play with and socialize your puppy.

Please return your puppy to the breeder or give it to a home that can give him a good situation. Your dog is going to turn out to be the "dreaded" dog of the neighborhood. Which you may want, but is a huge liability. Do the right thing and research something before you buy. Obviously you know absolutely nothing about this breed. Poor dog.

This post can't be real? Is this a joke? OK, I'll bite.....first of all if anyone kicked my dog they would loose their teeth, second the cop is an IDIOT. Your dog will be protective when it is older if it is raised the right way but it seems it won't be, as for now it's 9 weeks old? Not even close to being protective, you could have gotten a poodle and a gun, when the poodle barks get up and grab your gun. Ughhhhh I have heartburn now....I'm done with this post.
Because you're speaking about the GSD, I don't think you need to worry too much. Due to their extensive use by police and military, any criminal worth his salt will know what happens when a GSD gets ahold of ya. Those dogs can take a six foot 280 pound man armed and dangerous and treat him like a rag doll. If a crook sees one in your yard or home, due to the dogs well earned reputation as a fearless canine, most will move on to an easier score.
My male GSD is only 7 months old and already when playing fetch with him when he gets barking and carrying on, I ask myself if I were a crook would I enter a yard with this guy in there? LOL. Nope. He's my first GSD and I must say that sometimes when he gets barking outside during playtime it can be very loud and intimidating. He gets dogs waaay down the street barking in the distance, lol. It's a very confident authoritative type of bark.
