Day in the Life of a German Shepherd

  • Shadow is a pure-breed 2 year old German Shepherd around 38kg with hip dysplasia living in New Zealand.
    This is a snippet of what Shadow gets up to on a typical weekend so keep in mind you don't see every single thing he does that day. I specifically choose certain activities to show for entertainment purposes. I skip, fast forward and take out a lot of clips - all you see is 10-20 minutes of a day in his life. These videos are meant to be fun and lighthearted of a German Shepherd living in New Zealand who has a a lot of freedom. He is in no way 'perfectly' trained or is on the 'perfect' diet. I'm still learning every day and improving to provide the best life for Shadow.
    Kayno the bullmastiff who appears in these videos is not my dog. He gets fed, walks and receives a lot of love from the family. This is not normally shown because the focus of these videos is on Shadow the German Shepherd.

    Cartrophren, Montreal Rd. Animal Hospital in Ottawa Canada, I was going to put my girl down, she could barely walk, squat to pee etc... Vet recommended this fairly new treatment, 4 injections, once a week, cost me $140 and he came to our house.
    I'm not easily impressed, I'm old school, but this stuff, amazing, the difference in her, the change in attitude, she started doing stuff she had not done for years, almost playing like a puppy again.
    She was 12 years old and suffered from a bad hip all her life.
    But I will warn you, because she had spent so much time with bad rear hip, front legs carried most of her weight, a few months after she got the shots, because she was playing again, her front legs gave out..... but the last few months with her was well worth it.

    German shepherds are aweome. Knee and hip problems, but those are manageable.

  • @realalsenor
    @realalsenor 5 лет назад +2

    Hip dysplasia is caused by the stupid breeding techniques also practiced in the US. They give the dog that sloping back that ruins the health of that beautiful breed of GSD. In Germany they are bred with a straight line of the back and do not have that problem. Looking at Shadow it doesn't even show much of that damaging slope down the back to which I am referring and I am glad to see Shadow enjoy life despite his problem and wish him a fast recovery.

    My rescue showed signs with a limp and some moaning one year ago. Fortunately we had a very prolific deer hunting season and with all the carcasses my rescues all ate plenty of raw meat and bones. He is doing much better and stays on a high percentage raw food diet and loving it. Other two dogs are jealous but they don't have dysplasia. He will be 8 or 9 in a few months

      You get them used to it. Its not that big of a deal esp when they are also trained to guard the house. They like work and its not a toddler so unless you are working 10+ hours should be no problem if you make time for the dog afterwards and before.

    You don't need a ramp for this dog, cause he's big enough to step in. If you had a chihuahua, maybe it will be useful for the small guy.

    I laughed so much your dog sandwich joke. By the way you can add chicken's water in to the dog food.
