Informational Breed Pages
We'vecompiled many great informational articles here for you,
in an effort to educate
GSD Lover about the
German Shepherd Dog.
Below you will find articles
providing information of all types
about
German Shepherd Dogs
and their history...
You will find very helpful articles for first time puppy owners,
as well as training of GSD's.
Additionally, If you are interested in titling your dog
you will find useful information on these pages about
the required criteria for doing so.
Every effort has been made to insure the correctness
of the information these pages contain...
Unfortunately I cannot guarantee these articles to be free
of informational errors...
In an effort to educate the GSD Enthusiast,
they are compiled only FYI .
As such, do not hold me responsible for information
which you may find to be incorrect.
In the event you do find an error,
please send me an email with the corrected information
for inclusion to these pages.

Important Health Warnings
for your pets...
*** ANTIFREEZE.
Antifreeze smells and tastes sweet, and cats and dogs love it.
The problem is, plain and simple, it's
POISON.
A small quantity can kill your best friend.
***
Also, beware of
transparent
Christmas tree ornaments that have clear fluid in them.
These
may contain similar ingredients to antifreeze, and could pose a
serious health risk to your dog, even DEATH... if they ingest this liquid.
*** CHOCOLATE KILLS ... And I'm not talking about your waistline.
Chocolate, ingested
even in small quantities
can kill a dog.
Animal Owners should also
*** Beware of
yard mulch made from Cocoa
Bean hulls
. This is HIGHLY TOXIC to dogs if eaten,
and usually results in kidney failure and
death when ingested. .
***
Raisins and Grapes can be toxic to your
dog...

here
*** Lawn Pesticides
. Use EXTREME CAUTION
when using chemicals
for
lawn pesticides and garden sprays . Remember that your pet walks on your lawn,
and will routinely lick it's paws... ingesting
some of these chemicals.
Use only what you believe would be safe
for your animals..
Keep pets off the lawn after using fertilizers or weed killers, until
after a thorough watering
has been done to cut down on
their exposure to these chemicals.
Exposure can result in Immune Disorders, Allergies and other serious health risks for your pets.
***
Small Rodent Poisons..Regarding Rodent Kills, remember that these vermin often don't
immediately die when the poison is eaten. They can crawl to another location and then die.
If your dog finds and eats a mouse or rat that has eaten a poison, such as
"D'con"..
your animal can become very sick and even DIE if he eats this rodent.
If you have animals that may find/eat a dead rodent, traps may be a better alternative
to catch these vermin, and to insure safety of your pet...
Remember that neighbors can also be using these poisons,
so be very mindful of any dead critters that you may
find,
and discard them properly into the trash immediately.
*** Signs of Poison ingestion are
Hemorrhage from ears, eyes, nose, and most
often
result in kidney failure and death
