Something else I've done with our hounds is to buy a larger wire crate and use a divider in it that I move back giving them more room as they grow. One time, I even used one large crate that allowed access through the top with two Installed dividers and four puppies. Always more than one way to skin a fox. 😊
I have been using the large Ruffland kennel for the past few months for travel. Couldn't recommend it more. It fits perfectly in my trunk and it gives me the peace of mind that my 10 month GSP is safest in that kennel during long drives. Also keeps your seats clean!
Thanks for the info. Also, it was great to see how active the 16 week old pup was. I have a GSP that is 18w this Monday and very comparable in energy and enthusiasm. Nice to see other dogs the same age to see how they act, what they look like, etc. just to give me, as a first time GSP owner, some confirmation that everything is going right so far.
Hey I’m getting a puppy tomorrow and she’s a lab Shepard mix. Dad is full freed and mom might be a mutt. I work 7-5 but will be home most days for lunch 12-1 so should I creat train in the morning before lunch and then again after lunch? Or second half of day outside on porch? Or other suggestions? Thanks
You totally do not have to listen to me but I am working towards being a dog trainer. I would do crate the dog before and after your lunch break yes. A lot of people overestimate the time a puppy sleeps but they should actually be sleeping 16-20 hours a day. 5 hours is a long time for a puppy to go without a potty break though. Is there any way you could get a neighbor to take the puppy potty in the morning? You could have them do a few lures (with food) into a sit and heel position for like 15 minutes and the puppy will be exhausted. Have fun!!!
YAWA Question: Do you think a GSP could make a good service dog for someone with PTSD and panic disorder? The dog's main tasks would be alerting to spikes in anxiety, performing deep pressure therapy, crowd control as well as high levels of obedience, and tons of socialization. What would be the cons of keeping this breed in a non-hunting home? I know they're not the obvious choice for service dog work, but I've loved the breed since I was a kid, and don't want to buy one for this work if it wouldn't be a good fit.
I wouldn't recommend the German shorthair for service work. It is a sporting breed with lots of energy and stamina. But I have seen service german shorthairs before so who is to say it can't happen
OP, did you pick a breed? I don't work a GSP but a friend of mine who's got a way more talented SD than I do works a GSP and is now training her GSP show puppy to take over for her SD when he retires. She keeps them well worked in birding and dock diving etc... So my interpretation of that is that she's meeting their hunting drives so that they're well exercised and able to focus on their jobs or even just chill when it's a several days in bed kind of week. Hope that helps!
@@enarcmcfly I decided on a Moyen (medium) Poodle. The size isn’t recognized by the AKC yet so technically she’s a small Standard, but the puppy I picked is the perfect dog for me. She’s medium energy, somewhat reserved with strangers, but very loving with me and my family. Even at 10 months old she’s already alerting to my anxiety like I trained her to do, and checks in on me when I do things around the house that trigger my anxiety. She has a little bit of an independent streak so playing with toys on her own if I’m in too much pain to play with her isn’t a problem. She isn’t going to get as big as I had hoped, she was the smallest puppy in the litter, but I actually really like her smaller size. She’s topped off at 15.5 inches at the shoulder and is 21.4 pounds, but needs to gain more muscle as she grows. I’ve definitely fallen in love with the breed and plan on getting a Miniature Poodle for the next SD, which is a little bit smaller than Harlow is, but I think it would be a great fit for my lifestyle and needs.
I used one that had an adjustable panel inside for puppy to mid size. But now my lab has outgrown that and I need a large one, especially airline approved so this helps
YAWA question: I got my first shorthair about 2 months ago. She is 4 months old and we have been working a ton on obedience training. Recently we have started collar conditioning to recall and her “kennel” (dog bed) thanks to y’all’s videos🤗 she is just about ready to start her bird/gunfire introduction and some more field type training. i have been thinking about becoming a NAVHDA member but I am very intimidated. (I live in Kansas btw) I don’t really know what I’m doing as this is my first upland dog and don’t want to look stupid😂. I guess my question is what should I do to get started in NAVHDA and what kind of monthly training and activities would I have the opportunity to be involved with?
I thought your dog should be able to stand up in their crate not be hunched over like your large dog. I just bout one for my cocker spaniel and just love it
I have a 15 month old gsp she is 64 pounds and we want a crate to crate her at home while we are at work. Would the XL be better for that or would the Large size be enough space for her for about 6 hours while we are working? She’s had a tough time with the wire crate and I want to get something that more so feels like a den! Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
Get a crate with a divider that is bigger than you need. Just make it smaller with dividers. when you figure out how big it will be you can get a better one
The energy of these dogs is amazing our gsp dixie is crazy and I believe they are best breed in the world ❤️❤️

i just ordered a large of the ruffland for my 70lb gsp i’m excited! i’ve heard great things about these crates
How did it go for your dog? was that size big enough for him?
Any updates
I love her stubby-waggy tail!! So cute!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@StandingStoneKennels :)
What’s the dimension for these sizes? Usually they are indicated in inches? 24, 28 etc.
This helped so much , thank you!
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!

Beautiful dog. How much bigger will a pointer get? (Never mind - I see the other dog now!)
Thanks for watching!
My setter is 35 lbs and full grown. Thinking intermediate would be the size for him.
Is that a new intro? I like it a lot!
Thanks from noticing and for being a fan!!
So I can gauge size, how much does the adult GSP in this video weigh? Thanks.
Vex is 60 lbs!
German shorthairs are the best dogs. I have one and her name is Joesy.👍

At what point if ever do you no longer need your puppy/dog to sleep in the crate and what does that process look like?

FUCK THAT!!! I have a GSP and she is a service certified dog... she is still wild but she knows my mood like the back of her hand
@@obi912000 What do you mean by "certified"

What size crate should I use for an adult Belgian Malinois and an adult German Shepherd?
Large at a minimum.
So is the orange crate a 24 or 36 inch?
This is the Ruff Land Intermediate size. Their website has the dimensions: rufflandkennels.com/product/intermediate-kennel-2/
I used one that had an adjustable panel inside for puppy to mid size. But now my lab has outgrown that and I need a large one, especially airline approved so this helps
What would I need to trying to train my dog will not get car sick will help it car sick how long do you think it will take
Can you gives us numbers on the different sizes are is it just small medium and large
Whats the beight of thw adult dog pls and weoght
60lbs
What size would you recommend for a german wired hair griffon male full grown? Trying to figure which one to to get for full grown
Large on average would be perfect!

The orange one is a large the brown one is an XL
Nope intermediate and large
great vid
do you sell labs
Thanks for watching!! Sorry no but check out Lone Duck Outfitters!
For a 45lb female shorthair, do you still go to the large at full maturity?
Intermediate would probably work!
I have a border collie x blue heeler and he's about the size of a blue heeler, he weighs around 40 pounds what size would you recommend?
We also have a heeler puppy and are looking for the right size when full grown
I have a 15 month old gsp she is 64 pounds and we want a crate to crate her at home while we are at work. Would the XL be better for that or would the Large size be enough space for her for about 6 hours while we are working?

Confused. I thought you guys liked Lucky Duck. I like this because Ruff Land is way less expensive.
Lucky Duck crates unfortunately only come in one size.
What would you recommend for 8 week pit mix to start with?
Get a crate with a divider that is bigger than you need. Just make it smaller with dividers. when you figure out how big it will be you can get a better one
How much does trix weigh at 16 weeks? How much does Vex weigh?
Vex is about 63lbs I’ll get a new weight on Trix!
Awesome! I have a male liver GSP he is 14 weeks now weighing in at 23 lbs. Have been watching all your videos they have been a life changer
Where can I shop for these crates
Or buy a crate that has dividers. Buying multiple crates for short term is, well, silly.
Thanks for watching. Dividers don’t work the same as they come with wire crates. Wire crates pretty much are the worst!
What kind of pointer ?
Ok so what are the sizes? 300 series? 500 series? 700 series?
What kind of dog is he the little fellow
Both GSP.

👍👍👍👍
Heck yeah!!

Doggie ADHD 😝
Those crates are way too small for those dogs
