Questions & Answers
It depends on what you want the pup to do, but peppermint and lavender oils are both commonly used for calming dogs. Be careful with certain oils like clove, which may cause skin irritation. Start off using half a drop or less of each oil and add more as needed to get the desired effect; I find that 5-10 drops total is good initially for a bath. When in doubt, ask your vet!
Our breeders in Houston TX will have their very own processes and standards when it comes to who they allow adopting their puppies as well as when that can take place. Depending on the timing in the breeding season, there might be a puppy ready, there might not be.
Generally, people feed their dogs commercial pet food. But keep in mind that all dogs are different and what works for one may not work for another. You'll have to monitor your German Shepherd puppies closely for any type of allergy or intolerance, then adapt their food accordingly. The best way to start is with high-quality dry commercial puppy food.
How far your German Shepherd should be walked depends on the size of the dog, how old it is, their breed, and also where they are living. A healthy adult GSD could typically walk between 1-2 miles per day. Or typically one or two 30 to 60-minute walks.
German Shepherd puppies pricing typically starts at $200 to $500 for pet qualities. Our breeders in Houston TX are happy to answer any general or puppy-specific questions you have, so be sure to get in touch with the breeder of your choice if you have anything specific in mind.
It depends what you mean by "good guard dogs." Most German Shepherds are not aggressive. However, these puppies will need training before they reach six to twelve months old. That's when many of their instincts will kick in and reveal their true personality. But GSDs are known for an intimidating presence and could at least ward off an unwanted visitor.
Our Texas Puppies network spans the large state and gives you plenty of options when it comes to buying a puppy. If you have changed your mind on the breed you are looking for, we have many others available but if you just need a different location we have that as well.
German Shepherds can cope in hot weather by having breaks to get cool indoors when they're outside for a long period of time. If you see your dog panting, he may be too warm and would appreciate a fan in his favorite spot. There are also cooling vests for dogs that provide water-soaked pads around the neck and belly that release icy coldness to help with high temperatures.
Yes, most dog lovers know that German Shepherds are the most loyal of all breeds. Indeed they are the perfect family dog for people with larger families who want their pet to be a part of shared activities and spend time with everybody. There is something about the intelligence and strength of this breed that allows them not only to work side by side with an owner but also protect him or her without question.
To produce German Shepherd puppies in Houston, the breeder must comply with the American Kennel Club (AKC), Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), United Kennel Club (UKC) and Dog Registry of America, Inc. all of which have less restrictive breeding guidelines, as well as the Houston Police Department's Animal Control Dept., which regulates animal cruelty.
