being made fun of on this forum.. They really are a breed. Just like
the Shiloh Shepherd they have their own registry.

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�.

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.

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?

try reading for comprehension. the dogs aren't being made fun
of. we feel *sorry* for them. it's the dumbass people
cluelessly breeding them that we're making fun of. 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.

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."

since you're also breeding these dogs, would you care to
discuss any health concerns that are specific to the breed?

Aah, but what about the right one? For that, you may have to create
your own registry.

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.

no problem! if you can have two breeds of dog come out of one
litter, surely i can register each of my breasts with
different registries?

Hmm. There IS that.

You take that back! He's HANDSOME! Sheesh.

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.

awww, it must suck to be a tweaky dog. have they had him
long? hopefully he'll start to blossom when he gets more
secure in his surroundings.

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.

Manly dogs aren't pretty. At least that's what Khan (translated by
Rajesh) says. Of course, it is perfectly okay to get kissed on the top
of the nose by gurlz.

A couple of months. 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.

secure in his surroundings.

Yup. He bonded to her very quickly, so maybe there is hope for him
after all.

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.

they're too busy being all manly and stuff.

yes. elliott goes all bashful and flirty when he's kissed on
top of the nose. it's *very* cute.

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.

he sounds like one of those dogs who steals your heart.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
