Cian the obsessive Biting Alaskan Shepherd. . .
Cian is getting really bad about biting our fingures, hands, arms, feet, and ankles. We have been doing the whole "Make him Submit" thing, holding him down on his side/back head to the ground and keeping him there till he calms down and submits. But lately it just seems to make him more agressive. He's a Cool Pupopy and we love him, but he's drawing blood on a daily basis now. I know that a MAJOR part of it, is that we don't really have anywhere we can exercise him. We do not have a fenced backyard yet, we are saving up for the fence and we're getting there. He has not had all his shots yet, so we can't even take the poor lil guy out for walks and what not, as parvo is pretty Bad here where we live. I feel bad for him because I know that he has a lot of energy and no outlet. I try to run back and forth in the hallway and he chases me, but its not really a good workout, there is not that much room to run in the house. I have started taking him to my moms house once in a while, she has a big fenced back yard, but she also has a 108 pound Labradoodle O'Riley (Labradoodle) loves Cian, but he gets excited and tramples him. Cian only wiegh's 14 pounds so I worry that when O'Riley tramples over him, he will hurt him. So I only take Cian over twice a week. When I do take him over though, he does much better for the rest of the day as far as biting and acting agressive, so I know it's just him trying to deal with his energy. Man, I can't wait till he has all his shots so we take him out for walks.

Alaskan Shepherds ? ? ? ?
I'm still looking to connect with an Alaskan Shepherd Owner. Cian is 11 Months old and I'm having lots of biting/mouthing issue's with him. On a Brighter Note, he's doing a lot better being in his crate now, before he would bark and yip for 1 1/2-2 hours straight. now it's down to 5-10 minutes.

New to the Site. Looking for Alaskan Shepherd info
My Name is Josh Charmley and my 10 week old Alaskan Shepherd Puppy is Cian (Ki-en)
I've had Cian for about 4 weeks and he's already nearly doubled in size. His Father (sire?) is an all white pure bred German Shepherd and his Mother is a Pure bred Alaskan Malamute. Both beautiful, friendly Intelligent dogs.
I've had trouble finding info on this breed/mix. Which kinda sucks. They are Beautiful Dogs. Cian seem's to have taken on more of the Malamute traits (as far as looks) He has the mask, the curled tail, and large head.
This is my First Post on the site, I just became a member and I am looking forward to reading future discussions and interacting (as much as you can online,lol) with fellow Dog Owners.
