I made a thread a while back regarding male vs female shepherd which had a lot of great information and helped good bit. Between the fiancee and I, we thought we decided on a male. However after two litters, and no males, we took it as a sign that maybe we should stick with our original pick of a female. Our breeder said we could go to the next litter, but at that time, we wouldn't have enough time to dictate to a 8 week old puppy that we would like.
Overall, done the research, i've had a puppy before. I've obviously going to change some things I did the first time around with my lab as a puppy (training and etc). Goal is to have a good family dog, but also a good guard dog (females seem to excel at protection). I know you can train early as a puppy in small sessions as well and break habits before they start. Hopefully contain that chewing with a Kong!
Any tips for raising a female shepherd puppy?
Thanks in advance
