German Shepherds

Posted : 1/7/2008 2:42:43 AM

I have a couple of questions that I would love to have answered if possible please.

1. My 22 month old shepherd tail never stops wagging. Ever time I turn around its moving is this a German shepherd thing or is just her?

2. I have never heard Sky growl once not even a playful growl. Is it the nature of the German shepherd to not growl?

I did a small chuckle when I read this, sounds like your dog is just happy, and some does just don't growl.

If she is happy and your happy, run with it.

1. Depends on the dog. Technically, the tail should not be carried above horizontal, but that's for showing. I don't think it matters whether or not it wags. My GSD has different styles of wags that mean different things.

2. My GSD does not growl ever either. There's really no reason why a GSD should have to growl.

I don't have a GSD but my husky has never growled in her life.

I feel silly now LOL I forgot that the tail displays different moods.
