I have a six year old male Malinois and now contemplating on getting a female GSD female puppy. Is it true that the GSD develops slower than the Malinois? My Malinois was biting on a rag at 8 weeks. I am told that I should expect a GSD to be interested in bite training on its sixth month.
Thank you.
I am no expert here, LOL, but we have a pup we bred ourselves here right now, she is just 10 weeks old, and the drive is awesome!
She will already take full deep bites on any rag or play tug, and has done from being 6 weeks old!
I personally think that some prey rive can be squeezed out of a dog that only has low-medium drive - the the most drivey crazy ass dogs are born with it from day one !
I think that Mals and Dobes mature quickly, GSD in between and Rotts and Giant Schnauzers slow. And that is my humble opinion <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ya, you may be right, but any one of those breeds should be doing play bite stuff at around 5-6 weeks. By 8-10 weeks they should be little alligators. (if the drive is there) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> We are not talking months with that kind of stuff. I wonder if someone told Mackie that because they were trying to sell some dud dogs with a five month return policy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
