Did you know? 🐶
Cuddling with German Shepherd puppies isn't just adorable; it's also scientifically proven to boost your mood! Studies show that spending time cuddling and loving on your pup releases oxytocin, the "love hormone," which reduces stress and increases feelings of happiness for both you and your furry friend. 🥰🐕
So, the next time you snuggle up with your German Shepherd pup, know that you're not only creating a bond but also spreading heaps of love and joy! 🐾

We love hearing from our Mittelwest Families! Thank you for sharing this fantastic news with us, Julie! We’re beaming with pride and can’t wait for next year's adventures for Lucy and Mercy. 💙
“Good morning Julie,
Just wanted to let you know we just got back from competing in agility at the German Shepherd Nationals in Missouri. Lucy and her daughter Mercy did outstanding!! Lucy competed in Master Standard and Master Jumpers with weaves and received 3 second place ribbons and one forth place. She also had some qualifying runs as well. Mercy competed in Novice Standard and Novice Jumpers with Weaves and received 8 first place ribbons and both titles. I cannot be more proud of them. This is the first time I have competed at the national and Lucy sure gave a good running for the Agility Victrix title! Can’t wait until next year!!

Did you know that German Shepherds are prone to hip and joint problems? Providing joint supplements, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding excessive jumping can help reduce the risk. ⭐
Curious what our adorable bundles of joy have been up to lately? 🐶💕
From fluffy cuddles to epic water games, our pups are making the most of every moment. There's nothing quite like seeing those wagging tails and sparkling eyes as they embrace each new adventure.
Stay tuned for more updates from our little explorers as they continue to create memories that warm our hearts! 🌟🐾

Nothing makes us happier than hearing from our Mittelwest Families! Thank you for sharing, Lydia! 🥰
“Hi Julie!
Hope you’re all well! I just wanted to share Rafa with you! She’s such a beautiful dog! Everywhere we go, people fawn over her! She is also super smart, loyal, and incredibly affectionate. She lives to swim, fetch, and play search and find. She has learned when the kids come home from school and watches for them from her favorite spot – like clockwork! She is the BEST cuddler, and her favorite thing to do in the morning is to get into bed with us.
I’ve never had such an affectionate dog! Wondering if this is typical of the long coats? Our last shepherd was not affectionate at all. In fact, she was all business. Curious if Jolie or Bruce are that way?
All that aside, I hope you enjoy the pictures! Rafa says hello :).

Training Tip: “Here” Command
Teaching your German Shepherd to come when called is a crucial skill. But have you tried it from the plutz position? Here’s how:
✔️Start with your pup in the plutz position (lying on their belly)
✔️Get their attention and say “Here”
✔️Gently pat your leg to encourage them
✔️When they start moving towards you, offer praise and use an enthusiastic tone
✔️Once they reach you and you want to end your training, give the “Free” command
Practice regularly in a safe and enclosed area, gradually increasing the distance. Remember, patience and positive reinforcement go a long way in creating a strong bond with your furry friend.
