Any health care links located here
are NOT to replace a veterinarian visit; please take your dog to a vet
immediately at any sign of odd behavior or any symptoms of illness or
injury. Call your vet and describe your dog's symptoms with any of your
concerns about the dog's well-being. Your veterinarian may discover
changes in your dog's health that you have overlooked. It is always
better to err on the side of caution
THIS IS WHAT WE FEED

Large &
Giant Breed Puppy
This formula is designed for those puppies
that will reach 50 pounds or more as an
adult. Its triple meat protein source builds
good solid muscle, providing optimum calcium
and phosphorus. In addition, there are
slightly fewer calories so that puppies
dont gain too much weight before their
bodies are ready to support it.
HOW TO GREET A DOG Click on photo for the
BEST INFORMATION YOU CAN EVER HAVE ON MEETING OTHER PEOPLES
DOGS-Children really need to learn this.
THIS is why you do not walk your dogs on asphalt or concrete
in the summer. If you see someone walking their dogs on
asphalt or concrete, PLEASE educated them and get the pet to
cooler ground. Original post was from Pet Ambulance Victoria
This should be sent to all the veterinarians including the specialists!
We have received two notices.
(1) Nails wrapped in cheese at dog parks in Chicago and
Massachusetts (see pic). (2) from some friends that in
Augusta Maine dog park, antifreeze is being found in doggie
water bowls. Please beware and be careful and PLEASE SHARE
and spread the word
Ever wonder where puppy mill dogs come from? Here's an
example. Many get cooked alive in the sun and freeze to
death in the winter. If you purchase your dog from a pet
store, I can guarantee your "AKC" certified dog came from a
place like this. This one is even better than the ones
I saw in Iowa and Missouri!
Do you recognize she is a Yorkie?
Please do not purchase your pet from a Pet shop, Backyard
breeder or Commercial Puppy Mill.
"The man who rears a
dog must complete what the breeder began..." Max v. Stephanitz; Father of
the German Shepherd Dog
This is a real
combination of symptoms that spells out EMERGENCY. These are the classic
symptoms of a condition referred to as "bloat" - a dog that is pacing,
restless and has unproductive attempts to vomit.
This is a common problem in large breed
deep-chested dogs but can also occur in smaller dogs.
Basically what happens is this - the
stomach twists causing the blood supply to the stomach to be compromised
then leads to tissue death. As tissues are damaged, toxins are released
and a sequence of events occurs that if left untreated, leads to death.
If you ever notice these symptoms in
your dog, call your local veterinarian or emergency clinic as soon as
possible.
This is a condition that is fairly
common and often occurs in the evening or nighttime hours. It is also a
very expensive condition to treat.

Dealing with Excessive Barking
The first step to stopping barking is to understand why it is
happening. Dogs bark for all kinds of reasons, including
anxiety, boredom and/or loneliness. Sometimes they bark just
because it feels good. Luckily, most dogs will respond to
one or other intervention to curtail their barking. Whether you
simply bring an outdoor dog inside or take the time to apply
behavior-modification techniques, you can cause a dog to be less
of a nuisance and to be more socially acceptable.
Removing Skunk Odor
No need for the tomato juice. Use a mixture of 10 parts hydrogen
peroxide to 1 part baking soda. Add a dash of degreasing
dishwashing soap and pour into a spray bottle. Spray liberally
over dry coat and allow to air dry. Avoid eyes. Works on other
objects, too!
We are small but we do big
things!
Our
GERMAN SHEPHERD
dogs are our
personal companions;
we respect
them for what they do for us.
They are true Ambassadors for the
German Shepherd Breed.
We are one of the very few
real
CERTIFIED BREEDERS OF MERIT!
and, we do
not make a profit on our dogs.
THIS IS WHAT SEPARATES GERMAN SHEPHERDS
FROM OTHER BREEDS

The German Shepherd Dog
originated in 1899. It originally was developed for
tending sheep. The breed structure and type was set in
the first 14 years. Once the war broke out in 1914 in
Germany our German Shepherd Dog breed became trialed as
'Police Dogs'. Hence the German Shepherd as we know it
today was developed. The standard by which he would be
forever judged and approved "Utility is the true criterion
of Beauty" was born.
Written by Dyan Merkel '
"...the Police dog fulfills also another role; he is not
only the pursuer of the criminal, he is also the champion of
the helpless." Stephanitz
(all rights reserved)
German Shepherd
dogs must be "approved" for breeding by
the SV
in Germany. The standard is a
comprehensive program of testing, trials,
evaluations and certifications (VA, V, SchH,
IPO, KKL, 'a' stamp certification.
Unlike the United States where
anyone can breed their AKC registered dog to
another AKC registered dog and receive
registration papers, it is not so in Germany.
This is why we adhere to the German
Standard of Perfection in our breeding program - Verein
fόr Deutsche Schδferhunde
(SV -
The founding registry of the German Shepherd. Established In
1899)
Our deepest sympathies go to the owners
and breeders of this great dog

The Ideal German Shepherd Male
in structure, movement,
producing ability, and work.
Support the breeders who work hard to breed
this ideal dog, not the ones who capitalize on others
hard work and short change this noble breed by backyard
breeding and running puppy mills. The puppy buyer is
the one who has the most influence on this breed.
Support the hard working, knowledgeable good breeders versus
the opportunists.
Haus Merkel
has over 43
years of
preserving and advancing the
German Shepherd Breed. We are IndependentProfessional Breeders
with a passion for the German Shepherd Breed;
gaining intricate knowledge of German Shepherds through many years
of hard work and study. Commercial breeders, puppy mills and
backyard breeders are only interested in profit and not the
welfare of the breed or the individual dogs in their care.
We as Professional German Shepherd Breeders care not only
for the welfare of the individual dogs we own but dedicate
our lives to promote the German Shepherd Breed for everyone
to enjoy.
The
German Shepherds of Haus Merkel that comprise our
World Class breeding stock speak for
themselves; all are 100% West German bloodlines, VA/V, SchH1, 2 or 3 and all
with the highest Breed Survey Koerklasse 1.
It is
important for us to maintain the integrity of our dogs
through strong working ability, stable
character/temperament, sound structure and solid nerves. All
these virtues are characteristic of what we strive for
in our breeding program.
Haus Merkel German Shepherds have been selected
based on their temperament,
performance, health,
hardiness, longevity and anatomy. With every breeding it is our
goal to improve and advance the breed.
Haus Merkel
