German Shepherd Tip of The Day

Brush your German Shepherd's coat more frequently during seasonal changes to manage shedding and reduce allergens within the house.

As the seasons change, your German Shepherd's heavy shedding can quickly turn your home into a furry mess. Stay ahead of the deluge of loose hair by brushing your pup's coat more frequently during transitional periods.

Regular brushing helps remove the undercoat and loose topcoat hairs before they have a chance to blanket your floors and furniture. Not only does this grooming routine cut down on vacuuming, but it also reduces the number of pet allergens circulating indoors.

Choose a slicker brush or deshedding tool and commit to 10-15 minutes of brushing every few days. With some extra attention, you can minimize seasonal shedding struggles.

Meme Of The Day

Trivia Answer

A) Flying Trot

German Shepherds were specifically bred to have an efficient trotting gait that allows them to cover long distances with minimal effort. This gait is characterized by a two-beat diagonal movement where the dog's legs move in diagonal pairs, with a moment of suspension where all four feet are off the ground.

The flying trot is considered the most efficient gait for German Shepherds, allowing them to move swiftly and smoothly over long distances

This gait is highly valued in the breed and is often showcased in show rings.

It's worth noting that while the flying trot is the preferred and most efficient gait for German Shepherds, they are capable of other gaits as well.

Some German Shepherds may occasionally pace, especially when transitioning between speeds or if they have physical issues, but this is generally not considered ideal for the breed"
