🤷‍♂️What the majority don’t realise and most won’t tell you…

When you take home your 8 week old puppies, please keep these images in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Basically you’re reversing the fusing process by overexercising your pup. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

When you're letting your puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

🦴 Many of your German Shepherds puppy bones are not fully fused until around the 15 to 18 months of age👌👌👌.

This how to introduce a dog to a new baby. When you bring home your baby you let you dog meet it right away. If they back away they will eventually get to know. Too many people come home with a baby and push the dog away, treat the dog like they are not part of the family, etc...that is when problems come. When I had both of my children we had a very large multiple dog home- I was in the hospital for a few days and knew they missed me. When we got home, I walked in first and was greeted and made over by the digs. Then my husband came in with the baby, and lowered the baby so all of the dogs could sniff, lick the baby etc. That started the bonding process. Over the next few weeks when visitors came they greeted the dogs, played a few etc first. Then the baby came out. They were never locked up esp when people came over. All of my dogs have accepted my 2 babies and my grandson this way. Now I am have new new grandson on the way and looking forward to my dogs snd my sons dogs meeting the newest family member.
