Question
I just got a puppy, a german shepherd.  Do I bath it regularly so it is used to water or what.
Also, what is requirements in caring for this breed for less hair and shiny coat.
thank you Jean

Answer
Hi Jean
Shepherds are no maintenance dogs.  A daily brushing like you do your own hair, feed a good brand of dog kibble and also a super supplement, and it is set to go.  Also monthly wormings and shots to date are required to maintain good health.
Plenty of daily exercise, a good walk or run and let out at bedtime and Shepherds train quickly and easy and make the best, most loyal naturally protective dogs on earth.  For its entire life it is your best friend you can trust more than any one person is your Shepherd.

Peace
