Maltese dogs

Maltese dogs by Clemens

Care should be taken with Maltese and very young children. Since Maltese are small, they could be injured with rough handling. Care must be taken not to have this dog around kids playing roughly, because it is a fragile and gentle creature, it can get hurt easily. The Maltese coat requires daily brushing and combing to prevent matting. The coat is extremely soft and silky, so gentle care is highly recommended as the hair breaks easily. Bathe regularly, ensuring that the coat is dried thoroughly and the dog is kept warm. They may be intelligent, but they are one of the most difficult to train. Training sessions will only strengthen your bond with your puppy. It will make his life and yours much happier.

Gordon Setter dogs

Gordon Setters are very loyal and affectionate with their families, and make great family pets. They get along very well with children, but smaller children should be watched, not because the dog can't be trusted, but more because the dogs are so playful and puppy-like that they may unintentionally push the child down. Gordon Setter males measure 24 to 27 inches at the shoulder and weigh up to 80 pounds. Females are smaller, measuring 23 to 26 inches at the shoulder. Gordon setters have tan on their feet and lower legs, vents, and muzzles, and two distinctive tan spots on their chests. With a well-defined sense of smell, intelligence and keen ability to track the Gordon setter is a worthy companion for any small game hunter. Gordon Setters need training from an early age. Gordon Setters are protective of their family and children but are not aggressive unless they, or someone they love is being threatened. Gordon Setters love a good long run, however, daily walks will suffice.

German Shepherds

German Shepherds by Clemens

German Shepherds have erect ears, sloped back and long back scissor-like muzzle. German Shepherds are recognizable in a variety of colors. German Shepherds are working dogs and work is what they do. Their herding, intelligence, health and structure are not determined by coat color. Finding good German Shepherd dog names is no easy task. German Shepherd health is one area over which you have a lot of control. Long prized for its elegance, intelligence, loyalty, versatility and working abilities, the German Shepherds can be a very stoic animal that will play and work hard through a lot of pain and not easily show any underlying health problems. German Shepherds are generally used in the security services like in army and police. But they are also used at homes, since they show loyalty, love and affection to their owners. German Shepherd puppy ears can come up on their own anytime between 8 weeks and 6 months. German Shepherd breeders will also provide medical records and offer a guarantee against the dog developing hip dysplasia at least within the first year.
