Can german shepard dogs be left alone for long durations or not?
Of course they can be left alone. Just as you CAN leave a 3 weeks old baby home all day while you’re at work. Just as you CAN drive on the wrong side of the road. Just as you CAN leap off the top of a high building. But don’t expect any of those actions to produce desirable results. In your case there is an additional problem – german shepard dogs don’t exist. And if you’d looked at the screen before submitting your question you would have seen wriggly red lines where the spell-checker was trying to tell you that there is no word “german”, no word “shepard”. My breed was developed to HERD sheep in the German boundary-patrolling way, and so its real name translates as German Shepherd Dog – punctuation matters, as does spelling. Anyone wanting a GSD from me has to have: • A door opening straight onto a yard fenced to not just keep their pet home but to also keep stray dogs and stray brats OUT! • A plan for where the pooch will sleep that DOESN’T involve spending hours locked in a crate.
