puppies play, they don't know what is right and what is wrong. they just think playing is playing. he's young, he'll learn.

where did you get him from? and how much?

We found him online on a site called greenfieldpuppies.com. He was $700 with papers/shots etc. The site seems to list for amish people that have puppies they don't want or need for their farms. He was from Ronks, PA. He's only 9 weeks, so I think it may have been a little young to bring him home, but he's adjusting.

9 weeks is fine.

Puppies and kittens are usually mostly weened by 8 weeks.

when we picked her up from the rescue they said she was a Rott/Lab mix. the vet says shes a Pitt/Rot mix with some Lab in there.

she changes color around the year. from a light brown to a dark-ish Red.

too smart for her own good!

9 weeks is fine.

Puppies and kittens are usually mostly weened by 8 weeks.

Pups are weened at 5 weeks, but should stay with their litter mates until at least 8 weeks for social reasons. Puppies have a window for socialization between 6-16 weeks, this is when you want to expose them to all different situations like kids, cats, washers, vacuums, other [vaccinated] dogs, door bells, big crowds (like family parties) etc.

German Shepherds have a shorter peek socialization period than other breeds for some reason. I've been to veterinary school, but I don't remember if there was a specific reason for GSD's shorter socialization time. I believe it starts at 5 weeks and goes to 10 or 11 weeks...but every dog is different so don't get too hung up on time lines. I'm sure he'll be fine with whatever you're doing.

A puppy that is removed too early from it's litter and doesn't have any further exposure to different positive situations (even a hair dryer, washer, vacuum and other odd noises can be positively introduced) tend to turn into fear biters, or just generally be more nervous and stressed than other socialized dogs.
