Yea they’re loving the outdoors i see. Its like they’re smiling with each other as they run . Goooo shepherds
We spend 50 % of every day doing that, im retired
YES, very tight knit family, they love to play and all super super healty and fit. I run them about 10 miles a day on my Ebike. Since they were pups(not 10 miles as pups,lol)
Sooo kool… I love the pup pictures… They’re awesome indeed
They all look great, but this guy. Wow!
@Jetdro cool , the dogs and such nature , sounds like soul medicine for me.
shepherd dogs (not only German and Belgian) are distinctive with the mind. I have a local , aboriginal breed , I didn’t even imagine before , what they are , until I didn’t
raise one myself
Bad ass looking dog! Love the puppies
Shes a beautiful monster… Awesome guard doggie… . congrats
Thanks guys.
weed and dogs , I can talk about them whole day lol
They guard mainly sheep. Sheep farming here is from ancient times and because of many predator animals , loss would be great, without these dogs. mainly protection necessary from wolves , you know how clever they are. thus who do not understand wolves strategy, will not survive. most of breeds fear predators , but not these. they even fight with them. also with bears. but beside strength and courage , very important is mind. e.g if dog will follow wolves and go far from sheep , this mean drawback of dog. poor dog will become dinner for wolves and sheep will attacked with other group wolves.
Necessary also high tolerance - Traveling 30-40km a day , because of the seasons (to the mountain and back) and there is not suitable food. ~8 year life when work , ~15yrars if you keep them at yard.
over time genetics become strong. natural selection because of like this environment. weak ones will not survived , strong and smart yes…
Also our ancestors crossed their dogs with wolves , for better I know this is true.
Today there is very rare old genes, because of dog rings, because of money. Mixed-up with other breeds, mainly for more weight… did anything reminds this situation? lol
These puppies become like this
This is my puppies grandpa , lost her eye in fight with bear , do you believe?
Does this breed have a name? Beautiful looking dog. Big, what do they weigh?
Nagazi. Under this name , I consider only the genes , preserved by shepherds , Until started the massive mixing with other breeds.
They are Not heavy , Aboutt 50-65kg rarely 70…
Thats a pretty big dog in my opinion. Very interesting.
Beatiful dogs , why do they cut their tails?
I had one and she laid herself in front of the opening to the goat barn after she put them in for the night.
My female sleeps with the goats. Haha. Crazy
Chompy McGrowleyFace has made it to 8 weeks and to celebrate he flipped out the other day and very fittingly managed to get 7 punctures between my two hands for his 7th biting episode. He was sitting right beside me when he snapped, so it was fun trying to extricate myself; apparently he was very emotionally attached to the piece of fuzz on his lip from destroying a toy. So it’s been a pretty quiet week while I heal enough to get back to the norm, I’m currently taking bets on when the next freak out will be: it was 20 days between chomps this time, 24 last time which is still the standing record.
