Alsatian Shepalutes
As an owner of 3 beautiful Alsatian Shepalutes it grieved me to see them being made fun of on this forum.. They really are a breed. Just like the Shiloh Shepherd they have their own registry. This breed has been perfected by Lois Denny of Shwarz Kennel in Oregon USA. She has been perfecting this breed for going on 26 years.. If anyone is at all intereted in them please visit her site at Founder of the Alsatian Shepalute/Lois Schwarz Von der Schwarz kennels http://tinyurl.com/6mk6u or our kennel site at http://tinyurl.com/3qps2 She has also wrote a book about them: Alsatian Shepalute's : A New Breed for a New Millennium Lois Denny Format ISBN Price Electronic Book 141846998X $4.95 Paperback (6x9) 1418439223 $18.75 Dust Jacket Hardcover (6x9) 1418439215 $29.25 About the Book The ALSATIAN SHEPALUTE is an indispensable guide to this new and unique breed that was created solely for the purpose of a companion dog. Most breeds were bred for hunting or working and are hyperactive. Being a companion dog this dog is laid back. This breed was bred to never bark unless an intruder was around. Lacksidasical means this breed does not care to dig up your yard or run after cars. The Alsatian Shepalute was bred for his intelligence and the ability to read body language. This breed pays attention to what is going on around him and is easier to train than most breeds. “This new breed of dog shall resemble the old extinct giant wolves that use to roam throughout the North“. With his yellow eyed stare he seems to look right through a stranger as if to say “Don’t come any closer”. The following is a list of the book contents: THE HISTORY OF THE BREED©THE MEANING OF THE WORD ALSATIAN©THE NORTHERN BREEDS©THE GERMAN SHEPHERD©THE ENGLISH MASTIFF©THE WOLVES©GENETICS OF THE DOG©BREEDING FOR INTELLIGENCE©THE LATEST NEW BREEDS OF DOGS©THE OFFICIAL STANDARDS OF THE BREED©THE ALSATIAN SHEPALUTE CLUB AND REGISTRY©DOG TRAINING TECHNIQUES©GENERAL HEALTH CARE©DOG LAWS©CREATING NEW BREEDS. About the Author I do not write books for a living. I have never professed to a knowledge of the English language or to the exact formula on how to write a book. I am sure there must be a formula! My work and my love is with these dogs. That is what I know and that is what I do, so I ask you to go easy on me as I try to put all this information together and create this, my first book. I sold my first trained dog at the age of 13. A mother of a 12-year-old boy gave me $50.00 and promised to pay the rest later. (I guess I don’t need to tell you how that went.) I started breeding animals at the age of 7 or 8 since then I have had the following animals share my life with me: 20 guinea pigs, a few rabbits, lots of chickens, and a bunch of ducks and geese. Horses that we got from the rescue in Nevada. Calf's, pigs, turkeys, pheasants and quail. A flock of sheep once. Love the goats and still have some. One time a couple of gerbils. Turtles whenever I could get them. I built a couple of aviaries in my life so I had many different kinds of birds that I bred for colors such as: 50 cockatiels, maybe 100 budgies, 1 Amazon parrot, 1 African gray, a few love birds, loads of different kinds of finches and some canaries. The different dog breeds that I have had included: 1 pointer for about 4 months, 1 German pointer until I found that one a home, a couple of labs in my life, a golden retriever for the blind in 4-H, an Irish setter until I found it a home, Cocker Spaniels (at least 100), 1 English cocker, 1 vizsla, a weimaraner (until I found it a home), basset hounds, 1 beagle that I gave to my son, dachshunds, 1 Norwegian elkhound, 4 akita‘s that I bred with shepherds and sold the pups, a few Alaskan Malamutes, 1 boxer, a collie, a few Dobermans, a bunch of German Shepherd Dogs that I co-owned or found homes for, Mastiffs that I bred and showed, Rottwieler's that I raised and trained for sale, 1 Samoyed that got lost, Shetlands, Siberian's that I sold, Miniature schnauzers that I sold, Scottish terriers that I sold, 1 westie that I showed and then traded for a Breeding Rottwieler, Chihuahuas that I bred and sold, a Maltese, a couple of miniature pinschers, Pekingese, poms, poodles, pugs, shihtzus, silky t‘s, yorkies, a Bichon Frise, Boston terriers, bulldogs, chows, a Dalmatian, keeshond, lhasa’s, aussies, a cattledog, and several mutts. Of all the different breeds I have had I have either sold or found homes for. Some of my dogs did end up in the pound, but very few. I taught dog obedience classes for over 20 years at naval bases, recreation centers, and colleges. I taught grooming classes, assistant veterinarian courses along with a genetics night class on how to breed dogs. I showed and participated in national dog clubs throughout the state of California and Oregon. I have lived in the mountains without electricity for over 12 years of my life and I must say they were the best years of my life. There one can live at piece with nature. Anyone, who gets the opportunity to do that, I strongly suggest go! I did most of my early breeding and trainings on this new breed in the Los Padres’ National Forest. My work is not over by a long shot! This breed has just begun and I wish to share them with the world. The breed begets itself, or reproduces itself consistently, and the pups fit the breed standards. So, the breed’s character is set. Of course no pup is perfect when it comes to a breeders point of view. That is why my work is not done. Every good breeder will consistently strive to breed better than the last, towards the standards of the breed. I, of course, believe in the character and the gentleness of these dogs as well as in their intelligence. Many new Alsatian Shepalute owners have told me that they were so happy to have found such a dog! That to me is worth its weight in gold. To be able to help or please another human being and maybe make a difference in their lives makes me very happy. To those owners I say “No, thank you!” I wish to tell you, the reader, that I tried my best to write this book and to do the breed justice. I also hope that you the reader will enjoy my writing and will gain in life a little bit more knowledge than perhaps you may not have known. God Bless. L. E. Schwarz Free Preview Creating New Breeds of Dogs It takes time and money to create or perfect a new breed. That is not an understatement! Why bring a new breed into the world? In the dog breeds of today how many dog owners’ use their dogs for what they were bred for? Today’s dogs still possess those inherited instincts. In my many years of dog training it has always bothered me that owners were conditioning breeds of dogs that were bred for a specific purpose, into becoming a family pet. I have seen them try to modify the pup’s behavior. These dogs were placed in city dwellings and were suppose to fit? There are dogs that were bred specifically for that purpose. They are classified in the breed books under the category “toys“. The toys are the only breeds that were specifically bred as a pet. Instead of changing old breeds into a new breed of dog that is in demand today by breeding natural instincts out, I felt I should create a new breed of dog. A plain ol’ companion dog. The American German Shepherd is not the same dog as the German Shepherd Dog. The American Shepherd is more of a companion dog. Since it is still registered as a German Shepherd Dog it is suppose to be a “working dog“ as described in the country of origins standards of the breed. Working dogs were bred to do jobs as guarding life and property. Well, that tends to confuse the public as to the proper character of the German Shepherd Dog. How come a person could have a great Shepherd for twelve years and then when they go to purchase another Shepherd they find it intolerable? Hunting breeds are being bred as companion dogs also, as that is what the public wants. Owners who want to enter their dogs in field trials find the breeds can not perform as they use to because breeders are selecting the qualities that the everyday person wants. This is causing a separation within many breeds’ characters. By creating a new breed of dog and classifying it as a companion dog, the public would be able to use the categories that go along with the different breeds of dogs and the old hunting dogs would be protected from breeders who breed family pet dogs. As things are now the public doesn’t understand what those categories are. When choosing a lifetime pet it would be so much easier to use those categories to find the pet that best suits your family. Have you ever tried to find a family pet by looking in the different categories as to which breed would best fit your lifestyle? -- Shepalutes Yes, Its really True!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shepalutes's Profile: http://www.pet-manual.co.uk/member.p...nfo&userid=234 View this thread: http://www.pet-manual.co.uk/showthre...threadid=16650 |

HTH! They really are a breed. Just like the Shiloh Shepherd they have their own registry. so? i can register my left breast with certain dog registries. http://tinyurl.com/6mk6u aside from the fact that there is absolutely no useful information on that website, i'm disgusted that the owner is selling dogs under the guise of "adoption." or our kennel site at http://tinyurl.com/3qps2 since you're also breeding these dogs, would you care to discuss any health concerns that are specific to the breed? -- shelly (perfectly foul wench) and elliott and harriet http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette http://photos.yahoo.com/scouvrette |

For that, you may have to create your own registry. aside from the fact that there is absolutely no useful information on that website, i'm disgusted that the owner is selling dogs under the guise of "adoption." Well, aren't y'all just jealous that I got me a Shepalute for (almost) free? And hell, he looks better than any dog on her site. BTW, I came across another Shepherd-Mal cross at the dog park the other day. Malamute colors in a Shepherd body. Poor thing was petrified of everything. Suja |

You take that back! He's HANDSOME! Sheesh. poor little tweaker. did you talk to his owners about his story? It was kind of hard, because he wanted so badly to be right next to mom, and he wanted to be as far away from me as possible. Kind of hard when I am trying to talk to her. She said that he was an owner give-up from the pound, and had been turned in for getting too big and shedding too much. Who would've thunk it? A Shepherd-Malamute mix who is big and sheds a lot.

It took me 12 years to figure out that Murphy shed so much because she was ACD/GSD. I used to think her shedding was normal until I talked with other owners. By that time, I'd gotten used to her. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Who would've thunk it? A Shepherd-Malamute mix who is big and sheds a lot. uh, duh? it's not the shedding that gets to me, at least not in terms of vacuuming and house-cleaning. it's the bloody grooming. but, again, with a fluffy dog, that's a big ol' duh. it's what i signed up for, so i hafta do it. i *will* bitch about it, though. -- shelly (perfectly foul wench) and elliott and harriet http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette http://photos.yahoo.com/scouvrette |

She said that he needed to get out and about, and this was just one of the things she was trying. After the crowds thinned out, he braved getting about 20 ft. away from his mom, but beat a hasty retreat when one of the dogs started walking in that general direction. hopefully he'll start to blossom when he gets more secure in his surroundings. Yup. He bonded to her very quickly, so maybe there is hope for him after all. in terms of vacuuming and house-cleaning. it's the bloody grooming. You will not believe the amount of weed seeds Khan's tracking in these days. I'm blaming him for all the weeds in my garden. Of course there is something nasty and prickly that quickly tangles up all his fur that's an absolute nightmare (for both of us) to take out. Can't say there is anything redeeming about grooming him.

She said that he needed to get out and about, and this was just one of the things she was trying. After the crowds thinned out, he braved getting about 20 ft. away from his mom, but beat a hasty retreat when one of the dogs started walking in that general direction. 20 feet is pretty brave! maybe all he needs is time to adjust to the dog park vibe. i expect it's pretty weird to him if he's never been to one before. Yup. He bonded to her very quickly, so maybe there is hope for him after all. he sounds like one of those dogs who steals your heart. You will not believe the amount of weed seeds Khan's tracking in these days. i feel your pain. i've still got one small thicket of briers and weeds (elliott's raspberry patch). elliott likes to go in there and collect burrs, stick-tights, and twigs. i wish he'd find a new hobby. I'm blaming him for all the weeds in my garden. Of course there is something nasty and prickly that quickly tangles up all his fur that's an absolute nightmare (for both of us) to take out. those sound like stick-tights (triangular) or beggars' lice (round). they're a *huge* pain in the arse. i think i'd rather deal with cockle burrs. Can't say there is anything redeeming about grooming him. definitely *not*. i really like "brushing" my nekkid dog. she gets scrubbed with a rubber curry comb to loosen up the shedding hairs and massage the skin. easy peasy. -- shelly (perfectly foul wench) and elliott and harriet http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette http://photos.yahoo.com/scouvrette |

Image is *everything*. yes. elliott goes all bashful and flirty when he's kissed on top of the nose. it's *very* cute. Khan sits there, acting very put-upon. But, you can tell he likes it, because he'll extend his nose up to you just a teeny little bit if you stop. He has become much clingier (by Khan standards) after out most recent trip. 20 feet is pretty brave! maybe all he needs is time to adjust to the dog park vibe. i expect it's pretty weird to him if he's never been to one before. I'm sure. But, he's the same way everywhere, apparently. Sticks real close to mom. I hope she brings him on a regular basis. i feel your pain. i've still got one small thicket of briers and weeds (elliott's raspberry patch). elliott likes to go in there and collect burrs, stick-tights, and twigs. i wish he'd find a new hobby. That sounds like Khan. He apparently can't go anywhere without coming back with a gazillion little brown things and lots of flat green things attached to him. It's a pain to get it all out of him, but left alone, some of them seem to work inward and stick to his skin. those sound like stick-tights (triangular) or beggars' lice (round). they're a *huge* pain in the arse. i think i'd rather deal with cockle burrs. You know, I have never bothered to figure out what they are. They're spherical, with lots of spiny things sticking out of them. If I don't get them right after they attach, they tangle up in all that fur, and I have no choice but to pull on his hair. Can't be pleasant for him, although Khan never even flinches. definitely *not*. i really like "brushing" my nekkid dog. Yup. There's a huge difference there. Brushing Khan is a chore, for both of us. Brushing Pan is almost therapeutic. she gets scrubbed with a rubber curry comb to loosen up the shedding hairs and massage the skin. easy peasy. That's pretty much what I do. And she groans and moans, and rolls over so I can "brush" her half nekkid pink belly. Got to admit that I'm surprised at the amount of hair that comes out of her. And for some reason, the white hairs shed a whole lot more than the black 'uns. Suja |
