thanks for tagging me @blackberrysummerblog @run-for-chamo-miles and @forabeatofadrum!

it's been a while since i've posted from this account, huh? i'm working on my sequel to Shoulder To Shoulder again! hopefully i actually finish it this time.

“Custard cream?” Niall offers me, handing me four before I can answer. I found out he didn't have to crash the barricade and scare his passengers out of their wits, and biscuits seem to be his peace offering. “Only eat one.”

“What are the rest for, then?"

He motions across the road to the police and K-9s. “The dogs are very easily bought.”

a new addition to this series means new songs added to the playlist!

and quick question, if i say Alsatian, do people know what that is? particularly non-brits? no, not the people from Alsace. it's another name for German Shepherds, but i have no idea how common it is!

Facts About the German Shepherd Dog Breed

One of the most well-liked dog breeds in America is the German Shepherd Dog. The ever-popular German shepherd is intelligent, simple to teach, highly active, and wants to be busy. They generally require a lot of daily movement; else, they develop mischievous or high-strung behaviour.

Breeder Overview

Weight: 75-95 lbs

Height: 23-25 inches

Coat: Medium Length Double Coat

Color: Most colors other than white, Black, Black & Tan, Sable, Red & Black, Black & Silver, Grey

Features: Naturally Upright Ears

Energy Level: Average

Tendency to Bark: Low

Age: 10-13 Years

Hypoallergenic: No

Personality

German Shepherd personalities tend to be distant but not typically hostile. If they were reared among kids and other animals, German shepherd dogs get along well with both. German shepherd dogs should begin socialising and obedience training early in life to help prevent over-guarding and aggressive behaviour. The breed is thought to be intelligent and simple to teach.

Health

The majority of German Shepherds are healthy, however like all breeds, they are prone to some health issues. It's crucial to be aware of these diseases if you're thinking about getting a German Shepherd even if not all of them will affect them. Hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, gastric dilatation-volvulus, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, degenerative myelopathy, and allergies are a few of these conditions.

Care

German shepherds need weekly brushing because of their double-layered, thick coats. German Shepherds are bred for action and were first developed to herd flocks all day. They must exercise every day to expend all of their energy, which they have a lot of. A early age should be chosen to start socialisation and training for your German shepherd due to their protective nature.

Feeding

Your dog's diet will vary depending on its size, exercise level, age, and other characteristics. German Shepherds need a minimum of 22% protein during growth phases and 18% protein for adult dogs in their diets. To meet their energy demands, puppies require 8% fat, while adults need 5% fat. Give your German Shepherd a high-quality, protein-rich diet that includes meats like beef, chicken, lamb, pork, eggs, fish, and plant-based proteins found in foods like grains, beans, and vegetables. The food should also be rich in minerals, vitamins, and fats.

History

In the late 19th century, German breeders developed the forerunners of the German Shepherd as working dogs, notably as sheepdogs and farm security dogs. Max von Stephanitz recognised the first German Shepherd dog, whom he named Horand von Grafrath, in 1899, after much debate over the traits to emphasise in the breed.

After World War I, the German Shepherd was renamed the Alsatian wolf dog (or just called an Alsatian) in the UK and the US, and this practise continued until 2006.

Getting a German shepherd from a breeder

It's easy to get a German Shepherd, but you should be ready. If you purchase a German Shepherd puppy, you should expect to spend a lot of time training it on critical behaviours like sleeping through the night and going pee outdoors, as well as preventing biting and barking.

Contact a reputable German Shepherd breeder, pay a visit before committing to the purchase, and make your own decisions to help you find a German Shepherd puppy or adult dog.

[negativepeanuthoarder]

sorry i saw your tags on the pitbull post and i have so many dog thoughts that i need to share constantly: german shepherds probably don't have as much of the same stigma around them because. well. theyre the most common police dog & an ""american"" dog (re: very often owned by white families when not used as a weapon for police work) (german shepherds were - for awhile - renamed "Alsatian" / "Alsatian wolf-dog" post WWII for. obvious reasons) alongside golden & labrador retrievers. anti-pitbull talking points are often also racist - pitbulls are usually associated with lower-class families, and lower-class neighborhoods and black neighborhoods are. usually the same. so a lot of the pitbull stigma also comes from racism. and the r/banpitbulls idiots looove their racism

Oh yeah that unfortunately makes a lot of sense :/

And it’s really really sad that pitbulls have such a stigma around them - I volunteered at a shelter for a while and the dogs there were mostly pitbulls/pitbull mixes and they were all pretty friendly - the biggest problem was that they pulled on leashes lol.

I also think a lot of my personal dislike of German Shepherds comes from the fact I’ve had them unprovoked lunge at me before and their owners will brush it off as “oh he’s just playing!” - considering a lot of that happened when I was really little and they like weighed the same as I did it was really terrifying haha

obviously not all German shepherds are like that but they still make me kind of nervous

Update On Tesla / Service Dog Stuff

I haven't made any updates in a while about Tesla's training progress. Nothing too ground shattering had happened, just working through his adolescent stuff. It was all going fairly well, he was doing well at doctor's appointments and in public, fine in pet stores and anywhere else we went. Bracing well, starting to retrieve objects in public, more challenging scenarios. But then there was an incident involving a pack of nasty reactive dogs belonging to an irresponsible neighbor of family we visited. They were constantly fence fighting trying to antagonize Ember and Tesla, who ignored them.   At one point the bad dogs started fighting with each other right next to the fence, and because I was near the fence when it happened, Tesla ran toward me and them, to defend me. I stepped in to stop him, grabbing his collar to hold him back, because the other dogs were small and I was worried he would be blamed for hurting them or of him getting hurt. I lost my balance and used my hand to steady myself on the ground. The most aggressive of those bad dogs pushed through/under the chain fence at that point and nailed my hand while trying to get at Tesla, and the whole thing got Tesla real upset. I actually ended up having a pain induced syncope episode and passed out after I managed to stumble deliriously inside with partial tunnel vision.  I had to go to the emergency clinic and report the incident. Then went through a horrible experience of having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics they gave me as precaution for the animal bite. Ever since that happened, Tesla has been reactive to other dogs and more protective in general.  Any time he sees dogs in public, he has outbursts.  I have been working for months trying to re-socialize him, and just when it seems like we have progress, something happens to undo it. Like the amazing day of Tesla going with me to the hospital for doctor's appointments and radiology stuff. Got all sorts of comments on how well behaved he was, etc. Then we stopped by our local pet store to see friends and get his claws ground, since I was having bad wrist trouble. He was fine with dogs already behind the counter, peeking over to see them curiously while we waited our turn. A man suddenly comes in despite that I was right against the door and there was clearly no space with big Tesla standing there too. The guy had some sort of Pekinese or similar, and the dog was straining at the leash panting like crazy pulling to get into the salon... right into Tesla's face.  Which triggered an outburst. It's difficult. I now feel like I am "that person, with that kind of dog".  I have worked with dog reactivity, but none of my own personal dogs have ever been this bad off. I am at a point now where I don't have much choice but to consider Tesla a washout. Unless I can drastically change the behavior to where it wouldn't be a liability.  I don't have the money for taking him to repeated long term reactive dog classes to try and sort the issue out, and I am not sure it would fix things enough to allow him to ever not have that liability. Unfortunately assistance dogs cannot be reactive in the way he is acting. He'd be perfect for Schutzhund IPO work.  Which is the next thing we are going to try, to see if putting the reaction under controlled environment and command will help him understand he should not react that way unless asked to do so, and only in the IPO "game" situations. It's sort of like a kid going to karate.   They learn discipline and skills and time and place for using those skills and energy, in controlled environments or situations. Even with the specific training, there is no guarantee it will work well enough that I can keep working Tesla as my assistance dog. Even with the right training, he probably never will be 100% again.  There might be too much liability if there is even a slight chance he might become reactive at the wrong place and time.  Granted, this could happen with ANY dog, even one who has never shown any reactivity.  They are animals, not machines. At this rate I don't have many options. I will probably need to get another dog, if by some miracle I can't make Tesla work out. I run into the same problem as before.  As much as I want to keep Tesla and I am really attached to him, I don't really have the financial means to keep 3 large dogs ( Ember, Tesla, and whoever new dog is ) if I do need to start all over again and get another dog.   Especially since we'd be looking at a larger breed like a mastiff type dog. I'm just not sure I can try owner training again,between the financial and emotional strain. Raising these dogs from tiny pups and then them being perfect except for some random fluke reason, too much emotional hurt in it and feeling like a failure when I have been forced to rehome them. I am still on CPL's waiting list, but have not heard anything back besides forms to update my information periodically.  I am not hopeful I will hear anything anytime soon. I am at a point where I am ready to give up if this working dog training doesn't work. Maybe I'll just become a hermit and not leave the house anymore. This week starts the Schutzhund IPO training with someone I was introduced to who has experience with police K-9s and military working dogs. He is familiar with the most high drive of working dog lines, which will be a valuable asset in trying to reshape Tesla's behavior. Fingers crossed this will all somehow work out. I will post more updates along the way.  Positive thoughts for us are greatly appreciated.
