This is not the whole of Germany, love this.

Want a dog in Germany? Better study up—new owners need to pass both written and practical tests first.

Herding Behaviour in an urban setting 🐾🐾

Im so lucky to be able to work with so many special dogs, my breed obsession is a herding type so i really do have the T-shirt !
Complex, super inteligent, herding dogs especially if farm bred so no early socialization to urban life, sheepdog genes not show line genes.
And i love the challenge.
Meet my new client !

Are you meeting your dogs needs 🐾🐾

for most dogs this is more that a stroll around the block twice a day, breed needs are an important consideration to help your dog have a happy fulfilled life. We offer Scentwork at Longham on Saturdays, its a fun non competitive group.

Often working with dogs with behavioral problems, even though i put great emphasis on the Wholistic approach its hard for guardians to see the whole picture because they focus on the behavior that is a problem to them, forgetting or not realizing the whole picture has created the problem. Im not sure why some people don’t get it but obviously this is also the case for us humans too.

Behaviour doesn’t happen in isolation. To truly understand animals, we need to look beyond cues and reinforcers, and consider the whole picture.

No matter what breed you choose the right breeder 🐾🐾

makes a whole world of difference.
A badly bred and badly reared puppy can cause you and the dog years of problems that can cost you a fortune.
If you pick a good breeder you are not causing problems to the rescue center’s because an ethical breeder will take the dog back.
Dont buy from bad breeders / greeders/ puppy farms because you feel sorry for the puppy, you are encouraging them to breed more. 🐾🐾

🐾 Why Choosing a Good Breeder Matters More Than You Think 🐾

When you bring a puppy into your life you’re not just buying a cute face, you’re welcoming a living, breathing family member who will depend on you for everything.

That’s why where your puppy comes from matters so much. 💛

A good breeder doesn’t just “make puppies.”

They carefully plan every litter with love, knowledge, and responsibility.

They health test their dogs for genetic conditions, ensure proper nutrition and prenatal care.

They only breed parents with sound temperaments who have valuable traits to bring forward to their breed.

This kind of care dramatically reduces the chances of future issues like hip dysplasia, heart problems, allergies, or behavioral struggles. 🩺💪

A healthy start ultimately should mean fewer vet visits, fewer heartaches, and more years of joy together.

Good breeders also raise their puppies in nurturing, stimulating environments by exposing them to sights, sounds, and gentle handling from day one.

That early socialization builds confidence and trust, helping your puppy grow into a happy, balanced adult. 🐶✨

When you choose a responsible breeder, you’re not just making an ethical choice you’re investing in your puppy’s lifelong wellbeing.

You’re supporting someone who truly cares about the future of the breed and every life they help bring into the world. ❤️
So...

Ask questions.
Meet the breeder.
See where the puppies are raised.
Meet their dogs.

Because a good breeder doesn’t just sell dogs, they invest in their breeds entire future.

I have had no support mentally, physically, or financially, in fact i have been shot at several times, i have made some silly decisions, i have not and will never reach the end of the learning.
Still the best goal ever !
