Just asking about my new pup, shes a GSD x Inuit, mother was GSD x Inuit father was GSD, She is a beautiful dog and seems to have a great temperment, but is only 8 weeks old. She gets on fine with my 2 other dogs, both bithes, one's a yorky x cairn and the others a yorky. This maybe a hard question to answer but what type of temperment will she develop as she gets bigger/older... I know GSD's are very active and very clever, i don't know much about Inuit's but she's about 3rd part inuit. Here's the way i am bringing her up, very sociable, she has met alot of my family already, and plays with everyone, i have 4 teenagers at home who all play with her, but she already knows i'm the boss. I will keep her active with regular walks (once shes had her injections on monday) she plays with my other dogs fine so far. I was thinking about going to dog training with her because i want to do this right. I have bought a clicker and will start this training next week. I have already taught her sit using treats as reward, and the old give me your paw works 75% of the time, i can make her give me eye contact for treats. And if she nips she is told No and responds by looking at my eyes and stops. So any advice would be great...
Did the breeder give you any clues as to adult temperament? What were the parent's temperaments like? With a cross like this the puppy could take more after either parent, so the parents behaviour would be a good indicator of possible future temperament. Any pictures of the little pup?
I posted a pic in the introductions The father wasn't their dog but was told he was a typical friendly gsd the mother I met and was told she didn't like men or strangers but I asked to meet her and he brought her into me and my sons and she was fine just sniffed us and that was it she then just walked around not botherd really the owner said that was unusuall for her to like us. They had young kids and never had any probs with the mother.
