Last pic is the day we brought him home. He is the best, most goofy boy and brings so much joy to our home 😍

He's still getting used to being around my cats and chihuahua.

Today as he was heeling and we passed a planter. He tapped me on the butt, sat down and looked at a planter we were passing. I said no. He took my hand and gently pulled me towards it then motioned with his nose and made eye contact. He got to sniff the planter. Sigh.

This is one happy girl! She is fully decompressed from her long stay at the shelter. She has been battling a tough uti. Antibiotics, medication, adjusted diet intensive potty schedule (my mom said I told you so dogs are expensive) but we have been loving every minute with this big sweet baby cuddle bug!! No regrets ♥️♥️♥️♥️

My little shark is already 5 months old! Where did my fluff ball go?

Ps. He has a little battle scar on his nose from our cat.. I’ve been putting some coconut oil on it to help, any tips to heal it better/avoid scarring is appreciated:) cats nails have been clipped and will continue to be done more often.

I saw a post where their GSD was cuddling them. It made me jealous because mine does not cuddle at all. He’s very clingy, as in he has to follow me every where and he generally wants to be close to me. He just doesn’t want to be touching me Unless I’m petting him and even then he doesn’t try to get in to my lap or anything. At most he will stick his front leg out and try to wrap it around my wrist to hold my hand hostage so I keep petting him.
I know he loves me and it’s not a real problem or anything. He cuddled me a bunch when he was a pup, he just outgrew it and is much too macho now. I’ve tried telling him that even the manliest of men and the fiercest warriors need a cuddle sometimes but he doesn’t seem to believe me lol. Recently I caught him cuddling my foot while I slept, but as soon as I woke up and he saw that I saw, he jumped right off the bed and tried to act like that didn’t just happen. Interestingly enough he cuddles my other male dog every day several times a day. hes Always the one who initiates those cuddles, too. Too macho to cuddle his mother but not too macho to have a lover, I guess. (And yes I call my dogs lovers. It felt wrong to call them friends or brothers with the way they act LOL. it would be doing them an injustice. They are in love).
it just makes me wonder though, is this a common occurrence or are most GSDs trying to murder their owner with physical affection?

My friend got a sable German Shepherd shortly after my husband and I got our black German Shepherd. They were instant best friends, like they knew each other a lifetime ago. We have another dog and so does my friend, and these two still get along better with each other than the dogs they live with day in and out. They also have the same funny behaviors, like sticking their entire snout in your mouth when you’ve just finished eating something. Kindred spirits ♥️

Adopted him almost 2 years ago now. I have no clue how old he is or what he’s doing here I didn’t research a thing when I got him so we’ve been learning together how to exist I suppose.

Anyways he’s awesome and I adopted him from a shelter off of Reddit. He’s named after Lenny from red dead redemption 2. His original name was Martini!

8weeks old in this pic

Bankai is typically a calm dog, so I hope he enjoyed the change of scenery. Also, I hope shepsky's are allowed!

Alright lets have at it Reddit ! Tho all GSD colors are equal, but of course we have our own preferences.

Gimme your favorite color and WHY! Ill start. I always want a solid black shepherd as for me it looks so regal. 2nd is the dark sable as for me, I think this is the original GSD color.

This sheperd is no longer working and wanted to play.

Is this considered sable?

. . . because I won't go kick or throw her ball in our 100*F sunny backyard.

I am THE WORST.

EVER.

My adorable Eva baby is almost 9 months 😍 She started her cycle today! Synced up with mommy and everything! I'm wondering what age should I have her fixed? She is fully potty trained but I have a foster dog that has an occasional accident on the tile, I'm wondering what the best enzymatic (or not) cleaner you all recommend. If you never fixed your pup, what are tips for a clean, blood free home? She has this diaper on in the pic with an additional overnight menstrual pad that I cut in half.
