Question 1: A Timid German Shepherd
I have a dog of breed German shepherd and age 11 months bought from a private breeder when he was only 8 weeks old. He was a well mannered and happy puppy who never got any punishment from any of the family members throughout the period of his stay with us. It is a pity that he has become an introvert. He is afraid of all people other than those in the family and me. Since we are living on a carnation ranch there are a lot of people around the ranch all the time and hence there was no reason for the dog to become shy and scared. I would like know the reason for this sort of behavior by the dog and also the reason for doing this.
Answer 1:
The main reason for this sort of behavior of the dog is lack of proper socialization as a puppy. Living on a carnation ranch and having lots of visitors are not good enough for the puppy's socialization. This requires optimum emotional development for which the puppies have to be petted, talked to and played with, fondled etc. by a large number of people in addition to the members of the family.
It would have been ideal if you had taken your puppy with you on trips to town when it was in the age group of 8 and 16 weeks; it is advisable that the dog is not kept only in the carnation ranch. At the current age of 11 months, the possibility of improving the dog in this aspect is low and the damage appears to be permanent. You could try to take your dog for formal obedience training classes in your area which might help in his confidence building; by doing this there could be a possibility of improving the dog's behavior.
Question 2: What Is The UKC?
I would like to know the following details on UKC.
1. What is UKC?
2. Is it affiliated to AKC?
3. If so, will the dog registered with UKC automatically qualify for registration with the AKC
Answer 2:
The UKC (acronym for United Kennel Club) is the second-largest office for the registering purebred dogs in the USA. Its network of business with breeders and owners has spread to Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Africa etc. For that matter, this has spread throughout the world. This has no affiliation with the AKC (American Kennel Club); it registers dogs which are not recognized by the AKC; also registers dogs which have neither been recognized nor registered.
It is not practicable to give the list of all the breeds recognized and registered by the UKC since the number is very large; however to give you a broad idea this list includes breeds such as Bluetick coonhound, American black and tan coonhound, Plott hound, English shepherd, Collies, Boxers, German Shepherds etc.
Both UKC and AKC have their own standards for the dogs; hence a dog which can be registered under the AKC need not necessarily be recognized by UKC and vice versa.
