Thank you!
Thank you! she is lovely.
You need to get the socialising and training in place well before they hit puberty and grow so strong and big that you really need to already have the basics in place.
When she was 6 weeks, she looked like a little rottweiler puppy. Very broad head, and the markings. That was back in August. Now in November and people say they can't see rottweiler in her at all. We thought she'd never properly resemble anything close to a GSD. we have owned GSD's and GSD crosses all our lives, and I'm doing my best to train her. She's very clever.Oh how beautiful is she? She looks pretty close to being full GSD to me, but then again dog I know that I would swear is a GSD when looking at him was (I know for a fact) born to a wolfhound/greyhound mum and a timberwolf dad. His sister looks like her mother but when she had her own puppies (to a rottie) the babies all came out with full wolf mask patterns. Doggy genetics eh?
If Milly has half of the normal GSD bitch dominance then you'll be in for a rather interesting few months coming up, but just remember the golden rules of GSD ownership:
1 Socialise
2 Train
3 Socialise
4 Stimulate
5 Socialise
6 Exercise
I wouldn't say she's a very dominant dog - yet. She's well behaved in the house, and was housetrained in a month, she's excellent with children and old people, but really wary of people when we're on lead. Her hackles are up 60% of the time when we have to walk past someone she's never met before. so cute though. Can't resist a good wolffish looking pup!Thank you!
She's still quite small and was 6 months yesterday. :-/ do you think she'll grow very big? Her being a rescue dog we didnt see her parents, and we aren't sure if she was maybe the runt of the litter :/?
