The Mrs just got confirmation, we have another female pup inbound from Germany. I'll post up a pic in a bit.

Someone told me you were going to the dogs out there...guess they were right!

We've always had high powered GSD's out of Germany and Czech for breeding.

We've always had high powered GSD's.

I never fooled with GSD's at all, but was always given to understand that white ones were a no-no. Obviously, that's no longer the case, or you wouldn't have them.

White is only a no-no after labor day

Only if you wait and go when everyone else is.

True story a friend of mine went to visit his grandparents in Montana while driving with his grandpa his grandpa says dang traffic today. Friend looks around and sees may five cars and that might have included parked ones and says really grandpa. Grandpa says yeah it's really busy out today.

Where I live, if we see 2 cars on the state route that our road spurs off from, we call that a traffic jam. If we see 3 or more, that's grid lock.

Do you use GSD for protecting your poultry flock? I'm looking at some possible options tomorrow.

They are very very popular. I myself prefer a black faced traditional GSD. We have waiting lists on the whites.

No, Jack Russell's.

The tortoises need it because they aren't getting the same nutrition they would get in the wild and they have a shell that is their home which needs to be hard. They often don't get adequate exposure to daylight or UV light so they need vitamin D as well.

If your layers are eating layer pellets, they're already getting 4% calcium. 4% is what is deemed appropriate for productive birds actively laying.
NEVER mix calcium with feed. You can offer a calcium supplement such as oyster shell in a separate container. They'll choose if they need it. That is always a good idea.
Excess calcium needs to be processed by the kidneys and can cause urolithiasis and gout.
Calcium can also inhibit absorption of other minerals so supplemental calcium should be separate.

Exactly.
Ca ratio is critical (10:1) but also sufficient D3 and to a lesser extent, magnesium and even zinc, copper and manganese.
One shouldn't mess with what is already correct ratios unless there is a problem.

Awesome- thank you!!!
