Hello /an/, I'm planning on purchasing a German Shepherd sometime in the next few months and was curious... Do any of you know a place where I could download a "German Shepherd's for Dummies" Book? My friend loaned me his Dummies book, but it was for Chihuahuas, so I was able to look at the layout of it, and liked it very much.

Thanks!

One thing you need to keep in mind is that German shepherds, while they are very loving animals, need to build a relationship of trust with their master. Start by scratching him behind the ears, sometimes dragging your fingernails down his back and eventually just scratching the base of his tail. As time goes on, you will have built a firm foundation of interspecies trust which will enable you to begin stroking his penis. Understand that a dog's penis is ten times more sensitive than a human's penis so you must be very gentle. If you attempt to fellate your GSD be wary that your dog doesn't think you are attempting a dominance posture. You might want to try letting him sniff you and lick you. If you play your cards right then he will be certain to mount you.

Oh, thanks for the tip... Well, the first section of it.

As for the rest... It won't be applicable, it's a female.

Well, I can't tell you where to get the book, but in learning to take care of your dog it's good to avoid people like>>265538.

Haha, I figured as much.

No, but Shepherds aren't that complicated. They're very wolf-like in their attitudes.

Obedience training to establish your place above him in rank. Good large breed dog food. A leather leash and a prong collar (just in case). A good brush that can remove the undercoat in the spring when it sheds. And naturally, a good vet. Socialize him when very young.

Be kind but be strict, and you'll have a partner for life.

Thanks for the tip!

Another question I had... Should I get it as a more mature dog or just as a puppy to ensure that we'll have a strong bond?

Forgot to post a picture of mine. Bi-coloured female, 4 years old. Absolutely magnificent, I love her to pieces.

Samefag as before.

In my personal experience, I'd reccomend a puppy.

But ONLY if you can handle teething, difficult training, and up to four years of hyperactivity. Shepherds are active as hell, so plan on one to two hours of rigorous excersice daily until they're matured.

My dog I posted above is four and she would still chase a ball until she dropped dead. Be aware that they will never, ever, ever be completely calm and 'mature'. They're goofy and lovable and loyal, but not a couch potato like other dogs when they hit maturity. They're working dogs.

Thanks again! It's good to hear more about what I'll be facing. I don't mind the activity, at all! Although I think I would be comfortable with something a big larger than a puppy... Is there perhaps an intermediate area between the two? Perhaps after their first heat? What age is that usually at? Would that be a good time to adopt one?

My dog's first heat cycle was at around 7 months. I haven't seen her go through another, despite her not being spayed.

Nevertheless, heat cycles don't mean squat except that they can breed. There's no maturity levels besides that accompany it.

If you want a dog that is more mature, get a year or older. HOWEVER. You would not have the dog trained-which I believe is best done under a year, preferably aroud three or four months. Training establishes a bond between dog and human, and establishes you as alpha dog. I've personally used it as a fantastic teaching excersice-for example, my dog sits before she gets fed or goes through doors, out of respect for me. I taught her this at three months, and it's ingrained in her memory. Still, old dogs can learn new tricks.

As for size, Shepherds grow quickly. If I felt like scanning, I'd show you how large my dog got within a year-at least to seventy pounds. They do not stay small for long, and /typically/ by one year they're fully grown.

Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps five months old might be ideal for me age wise? Not old enough to really rebel, but young enough to train relatively easily?

Five months would be fantastic if you want past the teething stage. The puppy should be around 30 pounds (depending on DDR orGerman or American lineage) and frisky.

Not to mention cute as hell.

Good luck, you'll have a blast with her!

Thanks for all your help! It's really been appreciated. Beautiful dog, too.

German shepherds are more than big enough that you can get your penis in her vagina, you just have to spend some time stretching her out first. Buy some water based lube and start with a single finger, play with her and gain her trust.

If you are sexually active with her, you can keep her stretched and lubed enough that you can have sex outside of her seasons with no problems, and she'll love you for it :3

I suggest that the nomenclature by which you refer to your dog liken it to a small parcel of baked starchy food.

Also, IF you decide to get your dog spayed, do it AFTER the first heat cycle's worn off. They can feel tired or meh after the first one for up to a few months (though not sure if this is with big dogs as well), but after that it's the perfect time to get her spayed.

My very excellent vet (teacher) told me this. :D

Dude, have the male fuck the bitch, then you can fuck her too, or vice versa.

Sloppy doggy seconds are AWESOME.

Also, missionary the female and let the male fuck you.

If you're into the gay-beast thing, anyways... I'd have to stretch my assholes somehow before I would even CONSIDER trying something like that.

And I don't even know HOW to start stretching my assholes.

Wouldn't that lead to rippage and a Synthetic Mr. Hands incident? Perhaps something smaller than THE THOR?

Never start off with Thor.

In fact, start with something small. I took in more than I could handle for my first try and paid with my blood [nothing major].

The handle en of a toothbrush? Might want to try something around the house before I go and invest in something to specially put up there.
