How will a toy poodle and a german shephard behave in the same house?

My husband wants a germanshephard and I would like a toy poodle. How would these two breeds react towads each other?|||I personally hate poodles, and love Shepard's. So if you put them together, can only hope the Shepard loves easy meat.|||I have a German Shepard and a Bichon.





They act like they're an item. Hahahaha.|||getting them at the same time will help


we have a lab and maltese they are like husband and wife|||As long as they are introduced on neutral ground and put together as pups, you should have no problem.|||The poodle will lean toward pastries and Shepard toward sauerkraut. Actually I don't think the breeds will have as much to say it about as the temperament of the dogs. We have had a Shepard who was as docile and friendly as you could ask for and we have had a toy poodle who would take on a bull elephant. Good luck and enjoy your pets.|||the german shephard will prolly eat the toy poodle|||They will react like dogs.





Believe it or not, dogs are very individualized. For example, two houses have a pitbull and a cat. One house, the pitbull may kill the cat, and in the other they may actually get along rather well.





Basically, there will be no standard answer.|||they can get along fine if you and your husband are the leaders of the " pack" Dogs are a pack animal, the more people or animals, the more there is a pecking order that needs to be decided, poodles need more attention that GS,, but all can function if you treat them as Dogs and not humans,





watch the dog whisperer on the national geographic channel|||Poodle males are among the most masculine or dominant breeds of dogs, so they might butt heads, but they might be friends, considering the shepherd is larger.|||I have a German Shepard and a Chihuahua mix. They love each other, even though the German Shepard gets jealous of the Chihuahua, but that is just because she (GS) is our first dog and was used to all of the attention. So they should get along fine. As long as they are both NOT food protective and dog and cat friendly.|||Like animals. I can't imagine having two dogs in the house. Shepards need to be out doors and poodles are so jealous. That sounds like trouble to me.|||just make sure you introduce them on neutral territory. Introduce them at a park or something. German shephards are gentle souls. Just monitor how they act around each other for a few weeks. They will get used to each other and bond. Treat them both equally so that there is no jealousy. If you pet one, pet the other. When one of them decides they are alpha, make sure you pet him first and feed him first, etc. I think if you two each pay equal attention to both dogs it will be fine.|||The big dog will take over and the little one will be scared all the time.That is the way mine is.|||That's really hard to say. It depends on where you are getting these dogs from (shelter I hope).





My suggestion is to have them meet before you commit to purchasing/adopting them in a neutral place before you bring them home together.





I have known many households where there is a large breed and a small breed and they get along just fine.|||I have a miniature poodle and a rottweiler. I have had the rottweiler male, Bullreguard, for over 4 years, and the poodle, Poweder, is a new comer. She is 12 years old. They get a long fine right from day one, which was incredible, because Bullreguard has not liked other dogs. Powder seems to get along with any dog we come across in our neighborhood. She has had to learn how to stay out of Bullreguardsway when he get playful though so she does not get stepped on, but aside from that and a few days of them establishing their ownground rules, on both their parts, They do well.|||Talk to a Vet!, a breeder or Pet store may tell you "Oh yeah, they'll be fine!" You obviously know that they are different sizes. You might think of this if they are different sexes and when they are in their time of being in heat or rut. A poodle, impregnated by a German Shepherd is horrid to even think about, already I am thinking , Poor Baby! BUT, many families have animals, that when they are brought up together, they are life long friends, BUT, with people I know, the animals, that different in size, ARE neutered or spayed. I'd do some research and ask some questions of people OTHER THAN the folks that you may buy or get the animals from for free. They want to get rid of a litter if it's an adver- tised animal, you really have to kinda think about how other dogs you may have seen that are different so much in size. Sometimes it's a geat friendship, but if the larger is male and the smaller is female and you don't plan on getting them neutered or spayed AT 6 MONTHS, BEFORE they start the hormone smells and actions, you could lose your female while she is trying to deliver a large litter, German Shepherds, I read ON LINE,often have largelitters. Can you imagine you in that situation? NO THANKS FOR ME ! I wouldn't want to lose an animal, I just got a Papillon for Christmas last year, he'll be a year old the 23rd, I looked at him and thought of a little poodle, do some research, for the dog's well being,both of them and for your enjoyment of them, for BOTH of you!! Good Luck!|||The French and the Germans seem to be hand-in-hand despite previous conflicts. So the dogs will probably be "best mates" - but watch them for a while!


If they are "best mates" I wonder what the offspring might be!|||the german sheperd will choke on the poodle|||like crazy dogs.. playing, chasing, chewing and generally acting like dogs, one will shed the other one won't..





the french poodle may smell worse then the german shephard|||i brought a toy chihuahua into a house with full size dogs, and generally it depends on the dog. If the dog is mean, i wouldnt recommend it and vise versa. we had no real issues just break the dog in lightly|||German Shephards are very loyal and protective, Toy Poodles are very loving and tender. I think they will love each other.|||the poodle is smarter might out wit the shepard
