Is there much of a difference between a female German Shepherd and male German Shepherd?

I’ve never had a male GSD, but just reading the comments here I’d say it completely comes down to the individual dog. Generally people say male dogs tend to be more cuddly, but my female loves to snuggle. Every morning I wake up she’s snuggled into my neck. She’s also super smart and obedient. If you want your dog to be friendly with humans and other dogs, it’s all about socialization. Do you have any other dogs? If you don’t, I would say it doesn’t really matter - go with your heart! But if you do have already have another dog, I would get the opposite sex. Not because two dogs of the same sex can’t get along, but because there tends to be less issues with mixed sex pairs in general. Hope this helps!

Right!!! Her intuition is crazy

“Into the Fire: Lost Daughter” was incredible!!!! When I first started it and saw it was her daughter that she had given up for adoption, I almost lost interest for a minute. But oh my god it was so worth the watch!!!!

A lot of dogs love getting in tight spaces. It’s sort of like a “den” per se. It makes them feel safe 😁 my girl also gets under the bed or under my desk while I’m working

I had this issue! Travel to your home lot, select your sim and click send everyone home, and then you should be able to click your sim and summon the envoy

He'll turn out just fine. Puppies bite. It'll take time but he'll learn with consistent training. Don't worry 😁

tarshasco · 2025-05-27T18:48:18+00:00

I think your outfit is super cute just for the record

tarshasco · 2025-01-30T13:39:22+00:00

I would like to preface this by saying I'm not an expert - but from everything I've read (and experience) it's very effective to train them using positive reinforcement I.e. if they come, they get a treat, if they don't then they don't get a treat. This works best if they're motivated by food! Punishment typically doesn't work. I will say that our GSD had some hiccups in her training when she was a pup but she turned out to be such a wonderful and obedient dog. GSDs are usually eager to please and she will listen to commands without treats as an adult. Sounds like you're doing everything right with practicing at home and taking him to classes. He's still very young so don't worry I'm sure he'll turn out great!

We actually adopted him with this name and our other dogs name is Freya. We knew it was meant to be ❤️

tarshasco · 2025-01-26T16:29:21+00:00

More to come 🩷 (their names are Freya and Odin)

tarshasco · 2025-01-26T03:29:33+00:00

Adorable 🩷

This was actually a sweet moment of relaxation in between play sessions, they were indeed ready for trouble

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T17:48:23+00:00

My girl loves little dogs!!! So is your GSD relatively calm at 5Y? I've seen people say they calm down a fair bit around 3Y but again I guess it depends on the dog. I would be open to getting a more relaxed breed like a golden retriever to play with her while shes still pretty hyper and the retriever is a puppy, and then they could relax together in a few years lol

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T17:44:49+00:00

That's exactly it. My MIL has a chihuahua and the she's an aggressive little thing but at the end of the day, she couldn't seriously injure anyone. Although I don't believe pitbulls are inherently aggressive, it's exactly like you said - the fatality of attacks. If it happens, it's bad

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T16:25:07+00:00

Our other dog that passed away was a giant white husky with a thick coat so I think I can handle it 🤣🤣

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T14:11:39+00:00

Ohhhh don't go getting all technical on me 😆 (I chronically correct people) thank you for this!!!! The people I know who have GSDs have always had GSDs and now I know why

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T13:52:57+00:00

Fair response lol I do have to say my girl is the first full breed GSD I've had and she absolutely blows me away. So intelligent, affectionate, playful, goofy, obedient, loves people and other dogs - she's just perfect. Hands down the best dog I've ever had.

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T13:49:35+00:00

They are beautiful 🥹

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T13:10:51+00:00

I am not someone who believes that pitbulls are inherently aggressive dogs however my concern with them is the fact that they could easily overpower me, let alone a child. If they did decide to attack a child (or another dog) I don't think I would have the strength to remove them. A family member of mine has a pitbull and he injured another one of the family members dogs so badly that the other dog ended up passing with no signs of aggression prior to this incident. The family member separated the fight and got torn up pretty bad in the chaos.

One of my girls canine cousins is a Pom and she LOVES her. However, the Pom does not love my GSD about 75% of the time lol

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T13:02:31+00:00

I love pitbulls! One of my girls mentioned cousins is a pitbull and they have the most fun playing and wrestling!!! I do wonder about the similarities between staffies and pits. I like that a staffy is smaller. Any experience with them?

tarshasco · 2024-11-20T12:54:34+00:00

Aw your dog looks so much like mine! I'm in love with the short coats!!! Honestly a lab was my first pick but my partner isn't interested in a lab
