Hi, I have a male german shepard and a rottweiler, my german shepard goes wild when we feed my other dog in the yard. He also crouches down when anyone approaches him and then charges towards them.

My blue heeler had it, she would attack people who didn't have our house smell on them. To me I think you should get some serious help, or something.

I have a german shepard and he is the sweetest most intelligent dog I've ever had, but he doesn't like strangers. It's weird to think that he loves my family so much but that we're the only ones he likes.

I have a three yr old German Shepard, he recently has been more aggressive. He barks agressively at people walking by, on roller blades, bikes etc. Also, tends to be aggressive toward children. Can you give me tips on how to control this behavior?

When the infection starts the dogs will be really weak and lethargic and might stop eating or eat less, my aunts dog had it, and thats what she said happened to hers. But if you let it get bad the dog can develop anemia (low amounts of red-blood cells) which also aids in blood clotting.

It's organisms spread by ticks, it causes red blood cell destruction.Humanscan get infected. Infected pregnant dogs can spread it to their puppies. Also dogs can transmit it through biting another dog.
