1. Four-legged kleptomaniac
Little puppies are happy to privatize the thing they like, which they did not neatly put in a prominent place. For example, a TV remote control will quickly turn into its toy. As for food, the puppy is practically born with the skills to steal it. And he takes it for granted, so that the feeling of guilt in this case is absolutely not familiar to him.
2. Loneliness
For the German Shepherd, loneliness is too difficult. Yes, he will survive for a couple of hours. But if his owners lingered somewhere, the German will look for something to do. At this point, there is much for that: you can, for example, eat new shoes, gnaw on slippers, a baseboard or a door, and tear a pillow. Or you can smash the apartment. The goal is to make sure that one is never left for a long time again.
3. Owner
We are talking about property, and not only about that which belongs to its owner. It could also be the bag of a friend who briefly dropped by for an hour. Well, shepherd dogs really do not like it when things are taken away from their house, protected area. Well, the fact that this is a personal thing of the guest does not matter at all.
4. Molting
A common procedure that takes place twice a year. The process is natural, but not the most pleasant for the owners. During this period, the wool lies in a solid carpet, scraps of it can be found everywhere. There is a feeling that it will always be so. But this phenomenon is temporary.
5. Specific flavor
The Germans have a really special scent - a pronounced dog scent. And it doesn't matter how often he takes water procedures, how often you comb him out. This is a kind of difference between the breed - a passport.
6. Independence
Representatives of this breed are inherently independent. At the first opportunity, they will try to manifest it. If the owner is a strong personality, then everything will be as it should be. Otherwise, the dog will dominate, not the person. Although it may not be that bad. By the way, raising the tone will not help, the German will start barking without stopping.
7. Everyone will enter, but no one will come out
German Shepherds have very high guarding abilities. If there are undesirable for the "guard" visitors who violate the established boundaries, even when the territory the dog is not guarded, but is in the immediate vicinity (the shepherd dog still considers it as his own), they do not go out will be able to. In order not to provoke the dog, the owners first close it in another room or aviary, and then they see off the guest.
8. Diseases of the breed
Almost every second German suffers from dysplasia. In representatives of this breed, the joints and limbs are rather weak. It happens that the rear part starts to work with violations, the dog can skid on turns and so on. You do not need to panic, but it is important to monitor the condition of the pet. If alarming symptoms appear, it is very important to see your veterinarian quickly.
9. Old puppy
In German shepherds, there is a huge difference between physiological and psychological maturation. If outwardly it is a beautiful, fully formed dog, then on the inside it is still a foolish puppy with appropriate behavior. Therefore, it is very important to educate and train a German from a very young age. Otherwise, you will have an over-aged child, naughty and ill-mannered.
10. Short life
It seems that quite a few years have passed since the appearance of the German in the house, but he has grown old. In every dog, as well as in humans, the first signs of old age appear at different ages. This moment is individual. But if we take the average indicators, then this age is 8 years. Activity gradually disappears, the dog leads its observation lying down. The problem is that large breed dogs don't really live long. It hurts for the owners, but nothing can be done about it.
