Question
QUESTION: 1)food feeding system to my gsd is,in the morning at 6.30-1cup pedigree or 4 slace bread or 6 rusk biscuits with 100ml milk. IN the afternoon at 1 '0'clock curd rice with 1 egg, continuosly for five days. AND weekly 2 days chicken or mutton. AND in the night at 9 '0'clock curd rice. whether i want to know this food system enough for my gsd? OR can i add to give some vegetables with curd rice?
2)i want long haircoat for my gsd, so what i want to do?

ANSWER: I would cut out everything but the Pedigree.  Cows' milk isn't good for dogs.  They can't digest it right.  Grains and vegetables need to be very carefully prepared for dogs.  They have trouble digesting them.  Cook them too little, and the dogs get no nutrition from them, and too much and you destroy the nutrients.  The Pedigree is carefully formulated, processed, and then tested to verify it has what dogs are known to need.  3-4 cups total a day of the Pedigree should be a good place to start.  You may need to feed a little more or less.  Some shepherds refuse to eat enough to keep their ribs from showing a little.   

Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest. You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog must have its food and exercise adjusted to its individual needs. Here is a link to a good illustrated guide, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx

Some German Shepherds have longer hair, but that is something they are born with.  There is nothing you can do if you have a shorter haired one.

QUESTION: 1) my female gsd is now 61/2months old,her height is 19.5inches & weight is 15.79kgs,whether this is an correct height and weight for her? if this is not an correct what is the remedies for that?
2) i want to know when gsd growth will stop?
3) whether some of the gsd have slow growth for gain correct height and weight?

ANSWER: The height of dogs within a breed varies.  It is mostly genetic and very little can be done.  A poor diet will slow growth and even leave a stunted adult.  too much and too rich of a diet will lead to faster growth, but not a bigger dog.  It will only be too fat and have weaker joints.  The weight is the same, but is also influenced be the body condition controlled by the feeding rate.  I have already explained about proper feeding.  Shepherds tend to reach their full adult size sooner than other similar sized breeds.  Is her rate of growth leveling off?  If so, she may end up smaller than the standard 22''-24'' for female German Shepherds.  If you made the diet changes I suggested, the improved nutrition may help bring more later growth.

Check the ends of the leg bones.  If they are still much knobbier than an adult's, the growth plates are still open and it is still growing.  If not, do not expect much more growth.

QUESTION: 1)how much time i want to feed for my female gsd for per day? she is 7months old. 2)and she is not eating egg rice, but if i give chicken she is eating, but before days she will eat both veg and non veg. so i want she to eat veg rice also. so what can i do? 3)chicken liver and legs are good for gsd? 4)i want to feed to my gsd whether cooked chicken or with uncooked?

Answer
After 6 months, I am feeding my dogs once a day.  Many people think twice a day is better.  

Once again, the best way to be sure your dog is getting the nutrition it needs is to feed a dog food.  Any one thing depends on what else the dog is eating and how it has been processed.  Cooking destroys some nutrients while making others available.  Dogs digest very little of raw vegetables.  Their digestive systems are very different from ours.  What works for people may not work for dogs.
