gsd with water fetish Can't Post

from what i know german shepherd have problems with their hips. regarding this, i've a problem with mine a 7 weeks old. whenever i put her back in her cage at night, i notice she likes dipping her front legs in the water bowl which i provide for her. this have been going on for some time. is this normal? what makes ehr do it? becoz of heat? what i'm afraid is that, in future it might have some affect on her..

Yes ... GSDs as a breed have problems with hips ...

But I don't think this habit of dipping its front paws into the drinking bowl has anything to do with her hips ... Smile

It is a rather strange thing for your dog to do though ... maybe its just a little percularity that your pup has ... have no answers for you I'm afraid ...

Could be the heat and she finds it cooling to have wet paws ... You could watch her carefully and see what she does after her paws are wet ... and see if you can figure it out.

But maybe better to just take the water bowl away ... having soaked paws is not so good anyways ... Once your doggie is ready for bed, the water bowl can be taken away until morning.

Cheers

finally get to figure out what happen..

it's a case of addicted to digging..

well.. the little rascal learn this habit off my other dog, a labrador. whenever she sees the chance to dig, she will not be hesitate to do it.. see water on bowl, she thinks there's something underneath and starts digging. that's why she get her paws all wet..

smart dog eh? lol
