Meet the Breed – German Shepherd
[Music] as a child I watched rin-tin-tin so it always was my dream to have the shepherd I have actually had other breeds of dogs and I just keep coming back to the German Shepherd I like the personality I like the bond that I can have with the dog when we started dating he took me to his aunt’s house one of her dogs came to the door I just stopped and looked at this dog and just fell in love with it I definitely have a passion for the breed I’ve never really seen another breed that can do as many different things as a German Shepherd can do they are the most intelligent dog on the planet she’s scary intelligence training a German Shepherd is easy training the new puppy owner is the hard part I have one right now who has fun to open my kitchen door and let himself in and out there a police dog they make excellent seeing-eye dogs they were the war dog messengers the German Shepherd is a guard dog is a protective dog it’s a family dog from a security standpoint I work a lot of late evenings I feel so comfortable now with the adults at home kind of like our little security system the German Shepherd was originally developed as a sheep herding dog in Germany but they also were a protector for the sheep herder and so they were very loyal to him you don’t need to train a German Shepherd to protect its owner they do that instinctively when the boys go out we just say take the dogs with you and the boys will be playing and those Shepherds will be laying right at the bottom of the bed I had to spend two months in bed to stay by my side the whole time and we kept me comfortable to Shepard has the appearance that hey I’m here if it cost me some issues I’ll respond to them otherwise I’ll let you do your own thing if you start out with a good animal you’ve got to feed him a good product it’s like you know you can’t put trash gasoline in a race car when you have a dog that works as hard as mine does nutrition definitely makes a difference well when we started with shepherds we were using different brands and we just got on the Eukanuba we’ve been with it ever since we were just experiment with some different types of dog food and my aunt suggested trying to canoe but we didn’t realize that they had a specific food just for shepherds so we went and got a bag of it just to give it a shot and it’s the only one that she’s really done well with I’ve had other companies say have your dog try this they’ll sniff and they’ll always move to Eukanuba their digestive system is very sensitive they need to have things that are gentle further stomach beet pulp is a key ingredient for the nutrients absorption in our breed since we need it so much because of that adjusted problems that’s a good thing something like glucosamine you have to add that with any other dog food and with you can know but you don’t have to do that it’s very important in our breed with the activity level that they have and all the versatility of jobs that they have that they have l-carnitine to help burn the fat and make lean muscle German Shepherd has a double coat which has longer hair on the outside and then a furry undercoat unquote has to be healthy to keep the dog healthy this coat has been fantastic you can see right now it’s got a really nice shine to it I didn’t have that before I just can’t believe how luxurious go goes it’s really good I attributed that to the German Shepherd you can do the diet you can just see it in their eyes they look more full of life their coats are shiny their eyes are bright well the Eukanuba breed formula is rate or their teeth for tartar usually we’d have to scale or teeth almost every show and our teeth stay nice and white and clean which is really different it’s just worth it if you love your dog you want him to be healthy from the inside and you can do better helps you do that I love my German shepherds I couldn’t imagine any other dog with our family would be honest with you Axl is definitely my best bud my pal my friend they’re my everything I don’t know how I would get along with that one I really don’t you can’t find somebody that’s gonna love your family so much he’s my best friend and he’s my soul mate also this puppy is the most important dog she’s gonna have a real good life aren’t you just wonderful companions I adore my dogs I think they show it to me as much as I do to them [Music] you’re a good boy you’re a champion you
