The dog could be picking up on your emotions. If you are hyper, she will be
too. She is a young dog. Make her tired!! Play with her. If she was not
active, I would wonder if she was sick.
I have a 14 month old, Swedish/German Male, and he loves to play. I am
feeding him the Eagle pack Holistic Chicken Kibble, and adding Doc Kreuger
Supplement for Working Dogs. It works for him, but every dog is different.
I have always owned Females, and this is my first Male. Whether they be
German or American makes no difference drive wise. ( I have owned both). The
Females HAVE more drive, and learn more quickly. Males are more laid back,
sweeter, and not BITCHY, and think with their CROWN JEWELS! Males have the
smarts, and once they know it, they do not forget!
JMO!
Regards!

>I realize not all of us on the list have German dogs, I have both German
andAmerican-I also know we have had conversations over the years about "hot"
food giving our dogs too much energy. I have a 2 year old bitch that has way
too much energy lately. She is normally active, but I am wondering if the
recent food changes (due to rice,wheat, etc,) that I have done is causing
herto be hyper. Her parents were imported from Germany, bred by Karl
Fuller-very high herding instinct. THAT, I can handle. It's the jumpy,
licky(is licky a word?) wiggly stuff that's driving me crazy. She is taking
the temperament test (ATTS) next weekend, and although I know she has
lightning quick reflexes, it may look as if she's spooked, and I'd rather
notfail it. Any suggestions as to how I can calm her down? She is very
sound,loves everyone, is just being a barking, jumpy fool right now! Has
anyone's dogs had cabin fever? Will running her get rid of some of that?
Thanks so much to anyone who
>can help. ALSO: what foods are good for hyper dogs?
