German Shepard for a trucker?

We should start making full hip replacements then. Some of these dogs if you have the right one, they are a part of your soul. Putting them down would be very close to killing you directly.

 

Had a German shepherd back in my cab over days, was the best companion for many years but the jump from and to the cab eventually made it hard. They need to exercise and you will need to give it to them which will keep you in better shape. And then when you get the farts, you have competition.

 

How do you feel about lifting your dog in and out of the truck? They are very susceptible to hip problems.
It’s something that has been with the bread for a long time, but is worse now than ever. The question is not so much an IF, it’s a when thing. Some will degenerate slowly, could take years, some it can be faster.

Have been around shepherds since I can remeber.
Trained them for police assistance, search and rescue, guide service.

 

That breed his prone to having hip issues . Getting that dog In and out over the years will not be good for a dog that size. Not to mention that's a working breed that needs lots of exercise. As someone said earlier the hair will drive you nuts and will be every where. I would consider a smaller breed with short hair .

 

German Shepherd for trucker? Yeah, it's got potential, just remember to get him properly licensed and follow other relevant rules...

 

They are real hairy so u gonna need a vacuum.. I saw guys with great danes in their truck , scared the #### out of me when i walked past him at the fuel island

 

Didn't have a good but I had a small dog poddle doesn't need shead and didn't crap or pee didn't have to train her was with me for 15 years grab my get gone bag to leave out and she was ready to go.She passed away last week while we were off loading boy I miss her .

 

My buddy has his otr. He listens well guards the truck doesn’t bark unless something is off for him holds his bathroom brakes.
I’m thinking about taking my guy with me too he’s still young and wild in my jeep he sits and listens and I put him in one of our parts trucks he went in the back and laid on the bed lol. Makes me wonder if he was born to do otr aha

 

I love dogs dearly. I’d have a hard time subjecting a GS to life on the road.

 

Many dogs love trucks. Mine did for 2 years riding with me. She was a Beagle & Border Collie mix.
