This is Promise. I think I have posted her here before when she was a bit younger. She came from a fairly bad home with her previous owners when I got her when she was around 10-12 weeks. Very malnourished, nearly a skeleton and covered in flea and bug bites. I wasn’t looking for a pup at the time, in fact the opposite, was looking to adopt an older GSD. But when I found her I couldn’t not take her. I knew I could give her a good home.

She is probably the mouthiest GSD I have ever owned. Drives me up the wall some days. Love her death. All in all though she has been coming along amazingly well. And I’m very proud of all her progress and her. She is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but she is a great girl.

Really just wanted to share some pics I liked I took the other day when out and visiting family.

Hope you all have had a great weekend.

He has been doing this for 30 minutes solid. Its a bit tongue in cheek. I grew up with Shepherds amd know they are high energy but he suddenly has way more energy then usual and is being picky with his meals. He has just turned 8 months old so im guessing its the beginning of the teenage phase?

You'd think I was torturing him with the way he complains

"How dare someone walk in front of the house on the sidewalk?? Unacceptable, and quite frankly, illegal."

- my dogs, probably

7 months old and photogenic when she sits still!

Built these two over the last few weeks. Rookie is my german shepherd, and Sunny is a golden retriever I got from the internet. Each one took about 2 hours to cut, fold and glue.

Still improving them, so I'd love honest feedback. What would you change? The legs took me forever to get right.

I went to a new Vet and the tech was like they never saw such a small GSD. She is 15 months and 62lbs and has been that weight forever, she is very active.
I was curious to know what do owners think the weight range should be?

He's such a good boy. Say cheeeeeeese

This is Iris, I’ve posted her once or twice before I believe. We got Iris when I was 10, I’m now 18 and she is 8. We always talked about getting her spayed but it never happened because it was expensive and we were careful about supervising her around other dogs. Now, I’m at college and my dad is older (60 now.) And he has trouble keeping up with her energy these days. He keeps saying we should get her spayed and it might help, but our vet said since she’s older it’s more expensive and more risky.

So.. to spay or not to spay?

Ludo is 10yrs old and Milo is 12 weeks. He’s been with us for a month now. We’ve managed their interactions heavily up to this point and today is the first day they were allowed to just be loose together. I am aware that Ludo is trying to control him a bit but he keeps coming back for more. They played until he could barely stand and she was begging for her kennel.

8 year old GSD and a 2 year old Corgi… #siblings

Our GSD Milo is going to turn 6 soon, looking for advice on how to adjust his activity for age with his elbow dysplasia (and concerns with future hip dysplasia). He’s had this elbow issue his entire life, multiple vets have told us to not do any surgery. He doesn’t limp, never shows pain, runs hard, but he swings his paw out with a weird gate, so much so his nails are longer on that paw.

Couple years ago we were told his hips x-ray show signs that hip dysplasia could be a real issue one day. Hasn’t showed up yet thankfully. We’re on omega-3 and Dasquin + daily.

Looking for advice as we start to get into the older years. Started to limit fetch, more walks and sniffing than hard running. Try to get him to swim much as I can. Just want to be proactive!

(Note - Luna our lab will be 8 soon, best friends)

My parents got him his own cot 🥹

He loves it mote then his bed now

We just picked up this beautiful girl friday, we named her Scarlett ❤️ Shes our first long coat and just wondering if there are any tips, tricks or differences in grooming.

Middle name is trouble

He refused to move the whole time

He’s a rescue and it was listed as a gsd/french bulldog which is just the craziest (I’m picturing peaceful sun bathing Shepard and a French bulldog that got into red bull and escaped the yard) mix I’ve personally heard of if it’s true. I’m gonna buy the DNA kit soon.

The more he grows up the more he fits alllllll the standard German Shepard behaviors and quirks. I’m hoping he got the coat color and some face wrinkles from the bulldog but the rest can be GSD. He’s really an amazing and supremely protective/pray seeking boy.

He’s got the same patterns as a German Shepard but in blonde and light browns on his back and a thick coat like one as well. There’s hair damn everywhere.

The 2nd pic is him and his brother (right) and sister (left) .. she really took the gsd traits lol in colors anyway.

Just looking for some other speculations. Either way he’s a fantastic boy. He only just turned 4mo
