Long-Coated German Shepherds

Macho
Last update on May 25th, 2016	Macho is 8 weeks old

We have a little story to tell about "Macho"	He was the only puppy in the Olympia/Gino litter

He is extremely alive and very smart	and he is an extreme big puppy

We do know, that big puppies are more in danger to grow up healthy	as smaller puppies

So we decided to keep him. We make sure to monitor	his weight and exercise very carefully,

so he will grow up into a healthy young dog	Also, we do not have a guarentee on that, but we make sure, that he will weigh

around 40 pounds with 5 months of age and not	50 pounds or more. We do give out feeding tables and we urge the families

to stay with their puppy in the recommended weight limit	within the first year. But we have noticed, that often the puppies still get overfed

Since Macho is an extreme big puppy, he will be another study for us. We have done studies on puppies before during their first year of growth and none of our puppies developed any bone problems, especially the ED. Which most of the time does develop during the first year, if the puppy grows too fast due to the fact, that he gets too much food. We will make sure of that, that this will not happen to Macho. We did change his name from "Mailo" to "Macho", because he already shows himself like a BIG MACHO. We made a video of him, which we will upload on YouTube in the next few days, which will show you how he already carries around the dumbbell. He thinks, he is the Sh....... Now we have a girl from our Olympia, her name is "Chiara" and also a boy now, his name is "Macho" We will keep everyone updated on his development.

We believe,	that Mailo favours his Dad very much

He has the same expression	and already is very alert,

when he hears something	Unfortunately he has to grow up

by himself for a little while longer,	in a few weeks he will

get some small puppy friends	We make a little noise

and he reacts right away with lots of interest
April 6th, 2016	Mailo is 9 days old

If we look close at these pictures,	we see, that Macho

is starting to open up his eyes	Mailo is a very big puppy,

but yet not so big	as his other sister and brother

which did not make it	Both of them were just too big

When we look at Macho	and we see his beautiful pigmentation,

his extreme beautifu head	and big bone structure,

we are sure, that this puppy will has exactly the looks	Hundemama was hoping for these puppies to have out of Olympia and Gino
