German Shepherd Breeder Tips
If you have made a decision to be a German Shepherd dog breeder, you should remember:
A good female dog is the initial base for successful dog breeding. In other words, the mother of a puppy should be from a successful pedigree family where they have many good litter with successful results. If you are getting a GSD puppy from a female dog's first littler, turn attention to her mother and grandmother.
The best littler are got from male dogs of the highest class who can keep and support the heritage of the female dog. Long list of champion dogs, winners of shows and special competitions is the expected result of a successful combination of this kind.
When you organize a German Shepherd dog breeding it is desirable to take 2-3 female dogs, not more, but they should be from one family. And in the future a GSD breeder should create their own lines. It is very important for a German Shepherd dog breeder to support quality and keep individuality of each line.
It is necessary to evaluate the heritage of the future pedigree correctly, be able to analyze pedigree of the reproducers, keeping to the principle: the more ancestors with high results and successes, the better it is for future litters.
It is important to remember, that the German Shepherd dog breed advances and improves from year to year. That's why the achievements of the latest years are important.

I bought 2 of these M4light muzzles one for my german shepherd and one for my german shepherd/huskey mix. Both muzzles are are great and fit the dogs perfectly. When I first put them on they tried to get them off but couldnt, now they dont mind wearing them. I got them so I could introduce them to each other with out fights breaking out between them, they are doing a great job. These muzzles are made of quality materials and the workmanship is outstanding. I'm planning on getting leather muzzles for them also. This site diffently has my business for all my future need. Great Products at reasonable prices
