LIVE--Dutch Shepherd meets my GSD...this is how to properly introduce 2 new dogs, be fair yet firm!! 

I want to give you credit but introducing males to females is not a problem at all. You don't need a 30-minute prelude. Just let them off. The worst thing that can happen is a female snap at a male couple of times. Males would never full attack females. Now, try this with male to male(Gsd to KNPV Dutch), and you would quickly find out that even if you train for 2 months straight, the second you leave them alone in the backyard, they are going to throw all of that training out the window and will start working out the hierarchy between them the "Old fashioned way."

It's a male and a female. Honestly, results should be expected. Show two males.

I've owned dogs for over 30+ yrs, and have introduced puppies to seniors, adult dogs to adult dogs, females to males, same sex. I've had Dobes, Shepherds, Labs and Bostons. What is THE KEY here is finding dogs of *similar temperaments.* I had two female German Shepherds where one was more alpha than the other. Yet, if pushed to far, the other would let her displeasure be known w/a bark and a snarl. When you're the leader in the home, the dogs' eyes are on you. They watch exactly how you are treating each of them. You cannot be viewed as favoring one dog over another. If I pet one, I pet them all and currently I have four dogs. You set the tone for the introductions, what you will tolerate and what you won't. When it came to feeding, playing, the new kid on the block was gradually worked in, and I would inevitably change around who came first so none of my pups felt they had the upper hand over another. I'm not afraid to raise my voice and use "the look" when is comes to discipline and expectations. Same as my mother did with me. Otherwise, your dog(s) can be running you.

You see these discussions a lot, about which one is bigger. Truth is, the three Western European herder breeds are, by an large, of pretty similar size. I have seen these so-called standard Dutch Shepherd sizes that makes them smaller than the other two, and they're bollocks. I've never seen a decent Dutchie being any smaller than the average Malinois. A full-grown GSD is often somewhat heavier than the other two, though. I Love all three, with the GSD being the least temperamental of the three. A Dutchie is the most intense and potentially the most "dangerous" if not handled right.

My GSD was socialized and went everywhere with me. She loved the dog park and going to home depot and the people loved petting her. She never had a problem meeting a new dog anywhere because she didn't have a mean bone in her body. This is what you do when the dog isn't or hasn't been socialized properly. There was one pit bull at the park where the owner let the dog have live rabbits. The problem isn't the dog the problem is the owner of the dog. And she never had a problem with that dog but she kept away from him too.

😂😂😂😂😂 a male and a female good job!!! Oeps great job😂😂

Great video! I have a 3 year old white GSD. And a 6 month old Dutch Shepard. Both males. It took a couple of weeks for the GSD to accept him in the house. But there now best friends. They get plenty of exercise I have an ache of land. They run around playing with each other through out the day. The Dutcie still needs some more training but can be very stubborn sometimes.

Good video and explanation/reasons for doing what you are doing. I agree with you and your responses to other commenters, that patience and time is most important, it is better to error on the said of caution, than it is to run in head first and regret the results that come from that. I never have owned a GSD, Malinois or Dutchie, the breeds I love and have owned for 30+ years have been the Dobermann (3) and the Rhodesian Ridgeback (1), Will be getting my 4th Dobermann and 2nd Ridgie soon, and the first time I will have owned both at the same time.

That's a nice x herder. Looks like a traditional working line out of Holland with some working line GSD in his line. His head is very nice for this reason. I wish they would start breeding the working line gsds the way the Dutch do it. Mal x Dutch x wl GSD.

thanx alot

Why does the German Shepherd look like a mixed breed?

Nice work brother.

I always thought german shepherds are bigger than dutchies

So much hate in the comments and no alternative. Keyboard worriors never fail. I have done basically the same thing with many dogs i dont see what the problem is.

Any tips on socializing the 4 month old dutch? Thanks😎👌

theres no way that would work for the dog aggresive GSD i had.

This could be done in a minute , this is way too much .

absolute overkill, over the top nonsense,

That Dutchie is way overweight
