THE ROTTWEILER BREED

The Rottweiler is a large and powerful breed of working dog originating from Rottweil, a town in Germany. This breed is known for its strength, loyalty, and intelligence, and it has been used historically for various tasks, including herding cattle, pulling carts, and serving as a guard dog.

Key characteristics of Rottweilers include:

Size: Rottweilers are large dogs, with males typically weighing between 95 to 135 pounds (43 to 61 kg) and females weighing between 80 to 100 pounds (36 to 45 kg).

Appearance: They have a robust and muscular build with a short, dense double coat. The coat color is usually black with well-defined tan markings on the face, chest, and legs.

Temperament: Rottweilers are known for being confident, loyal, and protective. They are generally good-natured and affectionate with their families, but proper training and socialization are essential to ensure they are well-behaved and friendly around strangers and other animals.

Trainability: Rottweilers are highly intelligent and trainable, which makes them suitable for various roles, including obedience, agility, and search and rescue work.

Exercise Needs: Rottweilers have moderate to high energy levels and require regular exercise to stay happy and healthy. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation are necessary to keep them content.

Health: Like all dog breeds, Rottweilers can be prone to certain health issues, including hip and elbow dysplasia, heart problems, and certain genetic disorders. Responsible breeding practices and regular veterinary check-ups are essential for maintaining their health.

Lifespan: On average, Rottweilers have a lifespan of around 8 to 12 years, although some may live longer with proper care.

It's important to note that Rottweilers, like any large and powerful breed, require responsible ownership and appropriate training. They are not recommended for inexperienced dog owners, as they need consistent and firm leadership to ensure they become well-socialized and well-behaved companions. Additionally, early socialization is crucial to help prevent any potential behavioral issues.

As with any breed, individual temperament can vary, so it's always a good idea to meet and interact with several Rottweilers before deciding if this breed is the right fit for your lifestyle and family.

"GSD dogs" refers to German Shepherd Dogs, one of the most popular and well-known dog breeds in the world. The German Shepherd Dog (GSD) is known for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility, making them excellent working dogs, family pets, and service animals.

Here are some key characteristics of German Shepherd Dogs:

Intelligence: German Shepherds are highly intelligent dogs and are often used in police, military, and search-and-rescue work due to their ability to learn and follow commands.

Loyalty: They are known for their loyalty and devotion to their owners and families. They form strong bonds and are protective of their loved ones.

Working Abilities: German Shepherds have a natural inclination for various jobs and tasks. They excel in obedience training, agility, herding, and protection work.

Physical Appearance: They are medium to large-sized dogs with a sturdy and muscular build. They have a double coat, usually a combination of black and tan, black and red, or sable color patterns.

Exercise Needs: German Shepherds are active dogs that require regular exercise and mental stimulation. They enjoy activities like walking, running, and playing fetch.

Socialization: Proper socialization is essential for German Shepherds to ensure they grow up to be well-adjusted and confident dogs.

Health: Like all breeds, German Shepherds can be prone to certain health issues, such as hip dysplasia and certain genetic disorders. Responsible breeding practices and regular veterinary check-ups are essential to maintaining their health.

Hip Dysplasia
Unfortunately, hip dysplasia is common in the German Shepherd breed, and many breeders will run tests on the parents to keep it from affecting their puppies. Hip dysplasia is a condition where the hip joint doesn’t form correctly, and the bones do not move smoothly in the joint. As the dog ages, the bones begin to wear down, affecting your pet’s ability to bear weight. Symptoms include difficulty getting up and an aversion to stairs. Weight management, medication, and surgery can help to manage Hip dysplasia.

As with any breed, it's essential to consider the individual dog's personality, training, and socialization when bringing a German Shepherd into your home. Proper training and care are essential for a happy and well-behaved companion.

THE BELGIAN MALINOIS
The smart, confident, and versatile Belgian Malinois is a world-class worker who forges an unbreakable bond with his human partner. To deny a Mal activity and the pleasure of your company is to deprive him of his very reasons for being.

About the Belgian Malinois
Belgian Malinois are squarely built, proud, and alert herders standing 22 to 26 inches. Strong and well-muscled, but more elegant than bulky, there’s an honest, no-frills look about them, as befit dogs built to work hard for their feed. A breed hallmark is the proud carriage of the head. Coat colors range from a rich fawn to mahogany. The black ears and mask accentuate bright, questioning eyes the color of dark Belgian chocolate.

If you have ever seen a Mal perform an obedience routine, you know firsthand what a smart and eager breed this is. Problems set in, though, when this people-oriented dog is underemployed and neglected. Exercise, and plenty of it, preferably side by side with their adored owner, is key to Mal happiness.

NUTRITION
The Belgian Malinois should do well on a high-quality dog food, whether commercially manufactured or home-prepared with your veterinarian’s supervision and approval. Any diet should be appropriate to the dog’s age (puppy, adult, or senior). Some dogs are prone to getting overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treats can be an important aid in training, but giving too many can cause obesity. Learn about which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. Check with your vet if you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times.

GROOMING
The short, waterproof coat of the Malinois is quite easy to take care of. Occasional brushing with a medium-bristle brush, a rubber grooming mitt or tool, or a hound glove will keep the dog looking his best, and promotes new hair growth and distributes skin oils throughout the coat as well. Malinois do shed twice a year; during these periods, a daily once-over with a slicker brush will help to remove the loose hair. As with all breeds, the nails should be trimmed regularly, as overly long nails can cause the dog pain as well as problems walking and running.

EXERCISE
Highly intelligent, athletic, and muscular, and exceedingly devoted, the Malinois need to be actively engaged with his owner, both mentally and physically. This is not a dog who can be left in the backyard, and daily walks are not enough, either. Exercise, and plenty of it, preferably side by side with his owner, is paramount to the breed’s happiness. To deprive a Malinois of activity and human companionship is to deprive him of his very reasons for being. Malinois make great running, hiking, and biking companions, and they excel at agility, tracking, herding, obedience, and Schutzhund (protection) competitions.

TRAINING
Like most herding breeds, Malinois have a high prey drive and are strongly interested in moving objects. This trait can lead to chasing children, vehicles, or other animals and so should be directed into acceptable activities through training. Early socialization and obedience training are musts.

Mals are still prized as herders of all kinds of stock, but their versatility and high work-drive have opened careers in many other occupations and activities. They are highly sought after as police and military K-9s.

10 TRAINING TIPS FOR YOUR NEW DOG

Once you bring your new dog home, it’s smart to begin training immediately. But where should you start? What’s the best way to train a puppy? And how do you train an adult dog?

There are a number of options for training your new pet. Whether you opt to train your puppy or dog yourself, take classes or hire a private trainer, you can implement the following basic training tips right away to make the process easier.

Top 10 Dog Training Tips
These top 10 tips from professional dog trainers will help get you and your new pal on the right track.

Tip 1: Choose Your Dog's Name Wisely
Part of the fun of bringing home a new puppy or dog is finding the perfect name for them. But did you know certain names are better for training? It helps to consider a short name ending with a strong consonant that they can always hear clearly. A strong ending, like in the names “Jasper,” “Jack” and “Ginger,” perks up puppy ears — especially when you place emphasis at the end.

If your new pet is an older dog, they’re probably used to their name at this point. However, changing it isn’t out of the question. And if your new pal is coming out of an abusive situation, a new name may even represent a fresh start. Dogs are extremely adaptable. If you decide to give them a new name, use it consistently and soon enough your pup will respond to it.

Whatever their name, be sure to associate it with fun, pleasant experiences as much as possible, rather than negative ones. Ideally, your pup should think of their name in the same way they think of other fun stuff like walks or dinnertime.

Tip 2: Decide on the House Rules
Before your new furry pal comes home, decide what they can and can’t do. Are they allowed on the bed or the furniture? Are parts of the house off limits? Will they have their own chair at your dining table? If the rules are determined early, you can avoid confusion — for both of you.

Tip 3: Set Up a Private Den
Like humans, dogs need their own space. As early as possible, give your pup their own private sleeping place, such as a crate. Your dog will benefit from short periods left alone in the comfort and safety of their den; it can also be a valuable tool for housetraining. Be sure to reward your puppy or dog if they remain relaxed and quiet in their den.

Tip 4: Help Your Dog Relax
When your puppy gets home, give them a warm hot-water bottle and put a ticking clock near their sleeping area. This imitates the heat and heartbeat of litter mates and will soothe your puppy in their new environment.

This tip may be even more important for a new dog that previously lived in a busy, loud shelter, particularly if they’ve had a rough time early in life. Whatever you can do to help your new pet get comfortable in their forever home will be good for both of you.

Tip 5: Reward Good Behavior
Reward your puppy or dog’s good behavior with positive reinforcement. Use toys, love and lots of praise — and don’t forget the treats, such dog biscuits. Let them know when they’re getting it right. Along those same lines, never reward bad behavior, as it’ll only confuse them.

Tip 6: Teach Your Pup to Come When Called
Come, Jasper! Good boy!
The first command you teach your pet should be to come. Get down on their level and tell your pup to come using their name. When they do, get excited and use lots of positive reinforcement. Next time, try the “come” command when they’re distracted with food or a toy. As your puppy gets older, you’ll continue to see the benefits of perfecting this command.

Tip 7: Train on "Dog Time"
Puppies and dogs live in the moment — two minutes after they’ve done something, they’ve already forgotten about it. So when your pup is doing something bad, use your chosen training technique right away so they have a chance to make the association between the behavior and the correction. Consistent repetition will reinforce what they’ve learned.

Tip 8: Discourage Jumping Right Away
Puppies love to jump up in greeting, and some adult dogs have learned bad habits. When your puppy or dog jumps on a person, don’t reprimand them; just turn your back on them, ignore the behavior and wait until they settle down before giving positive reinforcement. Never encourage jumping behavior by patting or praising your dog when they’re in a “jumping up” position.

Tip 9: Say No to Biting and Nipping
Instead of scolding your new pet, a great way to discourage your mouthy canine is to pretend you’re in a lot of pain when they bite or nip you — a sharp, loud yell should work. Most dogs are so surprised that they stop immediately.

If verbal cues don’t work, try trading a chew toy for your hand or pant leg. This swap trick can also work when a puppy discovers the joys of chewing on your favorite shoes. They tend to prefer a toy or bone anyway. If all else fails, interrupt the biting behavior and respond by ignoring them.

Tip 10: End Training Sessions on a Positive Note
Your puppy or dog has worked hard to please you throughout their training. Leave them with lots of praise, a treat, some petting or five minutes of play. This almost guarantees they’ll show up at their next class or training session with their tail wagging, ready to work!

Bonus tip: When your puppy is old enough, think about getting them neutered or spayed. The same goes if you adopt a dog. A neutered or spayed dog might be more docile, less aggressive and more open to successful training.

THE BANDOG BREED
It's a general term for a cross between an American Pitbull Terrier and a Mastiff (any kind) OR an American Bulldog and a Mastiff (any kind). Eventually, there became so many Pitbull, Mastiff, and Bulldog cross-breeds that man decided to group them all into one category because of their similarities: the Bandogge.

The Bandog originates from...
The true origin of the 'Bandogge' or American Bandog Mastiff is unknown, although it is thought that the hybrid breed came into existence in Middle England, around 1250-1300. The ancestors of the Bandog are believed to be the American Pit Bull Terrier and the Neapolitan Mastiff, however other contributing bloodlines may include the early Bullenbeissers and crossed breeds used in the Crusades. Strictly a working dog, the Bandog was primarily bred for hunting, fighting and guarding property - usually chained throughout the day and released at night to protect the homestead.

The Bandog is characterised by...
This intimidating breed boasts several distinctive characteristics, which is unsurprising as the modern Bandog has been developed from a variety of stock breeds, including the English Mastiff, Neapolitan Mastiff, Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier. Because of this, no unified breed standard exists for the Bandog and appearance varies greatly. The characteristic traits often seen include a powerful and stocky build, a broad skull and muzzle, strong limbs and upright, triangular ears.

The average Bandog...
Selectively bred for its strength, stamina, confidence and fearlessness, the Bandog of old is both imposing and independent-minded, requiring firm leadership and consistent obedience training from puppyhood. Not particularly suited to relaxed domestic life, the Bandog needs regular physical and mental enrichment in order to prevent boredom and destructive behaviours in the home. Compatible with other house pets only when introduced gradually or raised with them, the Bandog should be observed at all times, especially around children. On average, a healthy Bandog will weigh 35-65 kg depending on its classification and gender, with a life expectancy of 10 years.

Weaknesses...
Due to the relative rarity of the Bandog and absence of any unified breed standard, its health is difficult to ascertain. Genetic or breed-specific diseases cannot be determined.

Still on the fence about whether the Bandog is the right dog for you? Hopefully, this list of pros and cons will help settle the score.
The pros are this dog is large and intimidating, which means no one will want to mess with you on the street or homestead.
The Bandogge is very intelligent and easy to train if the owner is experienced and confident.
Very little grooming is required of this breed. It sheds minimally throughout the year and may only need a light brushing every now and then.
But keep in mind that it’s not considered “hypoallergenic.”

The downsides of owning a Bandogge are mostly tied to its parent breed’s aggressive backgrounds, especially the Bullies and mastiff.
This mix is not ideal for first-time dog owners as it could easily overpower you.
At home, the Bandogge may become destructive if left alone for long periods of time and many websites claim it’s too massive to have around babies and toddlers.
Lastly, because of its size, owning a Bandogge could get expensive. Think about all the food and space it needs!

The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the so-called bully breeds often labeled a pit bull. In fact, "pit bull" isn't a breed, but a term used to describe the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Some people say the American Pit Bull Terrier is the same as the American Staffordshire Terrier. Others, just as forcefully, say they're entirely different breeds.

But all experts can agree that the confusion started with a decision by the AKC in the early 1930s to give it a new name, American Staffordshire Terrier, to separate it from its pit-fighting past. The American Pit Bull Terrier has not been recognized by the AKC, while the American Staffordshire Terrier, which is slightly smaller, has been.

The bull breeds are often grossly misunderstood. The qualities that make these dogs tenacious players in obedience and agility games also attract highly unscrupulous people looking for strong competitors for their dog fighting rings. The sorry result is that bull breeds, in particular the APBT, have gained a reputation over recent years for being dangerous.

Nothing could be further from the truth. But rampant misinformation and fear caused by the actions of a minority of dogs kept by criminally negligent people have provoked legislation against the breed in a number of cities and countries around the world.

As the owner of an American Pit Bull Terrier you must be aware that you may be met with anger and hostility by people who are misinformed about your wonderful dog. This is not a breed for everyone, especially those who aren't willing to invest time in training and socialization and can't or won't provide consistent firm guidance.

When raised with the proper training and socialization, the American Pit Bull Terrier makes an excellent companion for children. He is loving and gentle with people and often makes a lousy guard dog because of his tail-wagging eagerness to greet the person at the door. American Pit Bull Terriers are devoted and loyal to their family and will, if necessary, defend them to the death.

These dogs are extremely intelligent and learn commands and tricks with ease. They have a zest for life and love to be involved in everything going on around them. They maintain a puppyish demeanor well into adulthood, and that vitality makes them a joy to live with. Once you have met and gotten to know this breed you will wonder how you ever lived without one.
