Finally made up my mind and got myself a gsd. We named her wendy at 4 weeks old the dog isnt as fat as I want my puppy to be.the seller said we shouldn't feed it meat yet so I have started feeding it indomie and fish and also golden morn and milk . yesterday night I bought pedigree dog food but If seems not to like it. I live in a 3 bedroom flat with just my wife so we decided to use one of the bedroom toilet and bathroom as dog house for wendy but she just seems to prefer to be let loose so it can be following one around the house as soon as you put her in her room she starts barking until either she gets tired or you let her out. She is just 4 weeks old can I begin pot training her. As much I would love to allow her roam freely in the house I dont want her messing up the house with poo and urine.

Cute pup

As this is my first attempt at keeping a dog I would appreciate any input from more experience people in this field especially in areas of feeding and vaccine. I really want this dog to achieve its full potential

I do give her peak milk hope that is ok

Nice pup but its too early @4wks to disengage her from the bitch. The earliest recommended is 8wks cos the pup needs to learn some behavioural traits from the mum, litter mates and get the needed natural immunity boost.

Do ensure the pup stays warm and clearn and avoid all forms of rigorous exercises. Also locate a good Vet close to you for assessment, deworming and check up.

Congrats and welcome to the family.

Thanks for your input I had to collect it because the owner really wanted to dispose of all the puppies urgently as he wanted to travel. Have been trying my best to do all u mentioned I even went and bought bingo puppy dry food and pedigree canned food mixed it with puppy milk but she doesn't eat much or even drink much milk. Should I try tube feeding it milk or should I observe it for some more days

The pup is still very shy at 4 weeks old by the time she gets acquainted with her new environment she will eat well and then get multivitamin for her and force the pup to drink it she will be very hungry after that and eat well after you give the pup

Thanks for your input. I would do that

If u want to serve her dry food. Soak it in warm milk let the dry food soften

Wendy was six weeks yesterday so I called in the vet to check her out and probably vaccinate her. The vet fixed friday for the first round of vaccination and gave her two injections yesterday one around the neck and the other on the hinge leg. But as of this morning she refused to eat anything and seems to be in pain as my usually agile dog just stays at a place I noticed that the hinge leg it was injected on was still paining it.
Iam really worried now.
Please is this normal or should I be really worried.
I have called the vet and he said I should massage its leg and she wld be ok later.
The vet said the injection was for deworming and antibiotics

Pics of wendy at six weeks and 3days
Very playful sometimes I get angry at the rate she plays

More pics

kids love to play almost all the time, in dogs pups also love to play.

I have dewormed it it eats the dry food well if I mix it with either egg or titus but when I mix it with canned food or just give it canned foosf alonevit doesn't eat it.
Yes its a GSD a saber gsd they look different from the normal GSD in terms of colour. You can google saber gsd to educate yourself more.
Thanks for input.

I wan help you, you dey say make i educate myself more, besides Mr teacher it's not saber it's sable, I don't need to make any study, I've done enough research I need to know on GSD. That your dog is a cross breed I'm not quarrelling with you in anyway my dear. But to put things right, whoever sold this to you told you a big lie. I had a Caucasian mix who have exactly a sable colour but it's not GSD. just love the dog but just know it's not sable colour GSD.
