How can I get my 4 year old lab and 4 year old shepherd mix to stay off the sofa when I am not home?
Q. How can I get my 4 year old lab and 4 year old shepherd mix to stay off the sofa when I am not home? They are never allowed on the sofa, they never have been. We moved not too long ago and I have the sofa and a chair in front of the window(its a small house) with a space in between for them to sit and look out. I am trying how to figure this out without totally having to rearrange my house!

A. Probably going the uncomfortable route is best, they will look elsewhere for a cozy place to lay down. A board long enough to reach across all the cushions should work, and you can keep it under the couch when not in use.

is a yellow lab, shepherd mix a good dog for a family with small children.?
Q. I have the oppertunity to get a puppy. But I have small children and don't want an aggressive breed. I noticed there are alot of them for adoption and I don't know why. Do they have a tendency to bite. The dog I am considering is a yellow lab shepherd mix female 2 months old.
Asked by Maryanne - Sun Dec 23 12:39:05 2007 - - 22 Answers - 0 Comments
A. ANY puppy at 2 months old is going to nip &/or bite. That is what puppies do. Labs are particularly mouthy. Keep in mind, this is not to say they are aggressive breeds. Labs and Shepherds are both great family dogs. You also have to consider that at 2 months they are most likely not completely housebroken if at all. You might want to consider a slightly older dog, maybe 2 years old. If you go through a rescue such as PetFinder, you can get a dog that has been fostered for a while so they know the dogs temperament, the dog will be housebroken, up to date on shots, either spayed or neutered, and the foster may even how well they get along with children. Consider rescuing rather than supporting a back yard breeder. You will never regret it.… [cont.]

Is a yellow lab german shepherd mix puppy a good mix for children?
Q. I am getting a yellow lab/german shepherd mix puppy on friday and wonder if people think that this puppy will be a good mix for the kids-ages 15, 9 and 7
Asked by Nikki S - Tue Sep 4 11:21:54 2007 - - 7 Answers - 2 Comments
A. I would think probably so... Yellow Labs are good pets, and German Shepards are protective. The mix should be a great blend for a wonderful pet. Shepards tend to be a bit snippy, but I think the Lab should tame that... Just remember, a pet is what you make of it, treat it will love and it will return the favor. Remember to teach your children about pet care, and loving an animal, and not to pull tails and ears and your family should come together nicely with the new pup.

A. Not very likely that there IS a Yorky-German shepherd mix. Female Yorkie is too small to breed with male GSD, and couldn't carry the large pups, Male yorkie, even with help is not anatomically large enough to "lock" with as female GSD so impregnating a female GSD by a Yorky would be virtually impossiple. Artificial insemination is probably the only way it could happen. I think you'd better look for a different mix dot...one where the dogs are closer to the same size.

A. I DID, he died early this year. but there is no way to compare the two, because they are mutts, so there could be any combo of genes in there. one thing that is almost guaranteed, you will need to exercise that dog! EDIT: my dog was medium, about 50 lbs, and he was a very good dog. yours can be anywhere from 27 lbs (low end of BC standard) to 85 lbs (high end of GSD standard) I would guess she would be between the BC and GSD in both height and weight.

Will a german shepherd mix's ears stand up?
Q. I am looking into adopting a german shepherd mix because I want to adopt and save a puppy but I love german shepherds. And I know I sound picky, but I would prefer if the ears didnt stand up. I want a floppy eared dog. So I wanna know if they always will stand up, or if there is a specific cross breed that will make the ears stay floppy.

A. I would guess that if it is mixed with something with floppy ears, it will probably have a 50/50 chance of having floppy ears. If mixed with another erect-eared dog, it will likely have ears that stand. If you adopt an adult or puppy over 8 months, you will already know if it is important to you.

How can I get my shepherd mix to quit licking his paws?

Asked by scmounty - Tue Jun 23 17:52:51 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Dogs lick paws for lots of reasons, including anxiety and allergies. If you try giving him benadryl (2 mg per pound of body weight every 8 hours) and the licking decreases or stops, you're probably working with an allergy. Only your vet can sort out what he is allergic to. Did the licking start when you changed the food? Did anything in the environment change?

Contrary to popular belief, blue/purple/black markings on a dog's tongue are NOT an accurate indicator that the dog is a chow chow mix.

It's often a fault in the show ring for breeds other than chows or shar pei, but it's not uncommon.

Do not search kijji.com. Too many backyard breeders and puppy mills advertise with this site. It's an "online marketplace." You should buy shoes online, not dogs. Petfinder.com is far more reputable and lists dogs *for adoption* as opposed to sick puppies *for sale.* The difference? Rescues that have adoption fees are not for profit, backyard breeders and puppy mills are strictly for profit.

A. Health issues include epilepsy, hip dysplasia, eye problems, and some heart problems. This dog may or may not get these problems. Yes mixed breeds can get health problems from their parents just like purebreds do. I'm not sure what you mean by your second question. You can keep your dog from rabbits by providing it a fenced in area, a tether, or by keeping it as a house dog. To train the dog not to chase rabbits sometimes is difficult but it can be done. I would recommend that you contact a trainer in your area. Depends on the cat and the dog. Some dogs can be aggressive towards cats. At first I would not allow the dog to be alone with the dog until I know how it will act with the cat. Both of these breeds are herding dogs so… [cont.]

Q. My brother found this really sweet dog. Its an Australian shepherd boarder collie mix. Before we adopt for sure we need to know 1. What are health issues that happen later in life for this kind of puppy? 2. How can we manage it so its not around rabbits? 3. Will my cat be okay? 4. How do we manage it when we aren't home? 5. What does it need as far as exercise and things to do? Thanks. =]

How do we teach our 2 year old german shepherd mix commands?
Q. Like leave it, Drop it, and NO! LOL. He is always hyper no matter what and listens when he wants. He knows to stop he just doesnt sometimes.

A. If he's hyper maybe he has too much testosterone in his system. Get him neutered if he hasn't been that usually works to calm him down; also try getting a trainer if you don't know how to train him yourself or at least try watching Animal Planet's "It's Me Or The Dog" with Victoria Stillwell. She has can get even the most stubborn of dogs to do what she wants in no time flat. Also a german shepherd is a working dog and need to to be exercised at least 2 hours a day, have you tried that yet? Take him running on the leash, throw a disc for him to jump up in the air and catch, play ball with him, take him for a good walk. If you had done your research on the breed you would have known that. I didn't even have to research them and I know… [cont.]

Border Collie/German Shepherd Mix Size and Herding Instinct?
Q. I recently bought a border collie/german shepherd mix and they said it should be around 40-50 pounds and a "medium" size dog. Is this going to be the case? And will the border collie's herding instinct be suppressed by the mixing of breeds?
Asked by manntastic - Tue Apr 21 14:32:25 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. 50 pounds and up I would say. My border is very lean and weighs 45 pounds, GSDs are typically larger I would guess her to weigh more like 65 pounds grown. As for herding instinct borders have VERY high herding instincts you can mix anything you feel like in there its still going to show. GSDs typically are not as drivey as borders but they are a herding breed and its definitely there and its not going to suppress anything. I had a rescue who was border GSD mix (maybe with a little lab) she weighed in at around 65-70 pounds, she was territorial and had herding instincts not as strong as my working lines border collies but she could herd if I put her on stock and would chase small animals outside the home (if I where to let her)
