    Hi all,

    I noticed many of you here have german shepherds. I have a 12 month old male gsd called Jake. He is a pleasure to own, so intelligent and a treat to train. I'd love to see photos and even better videos of all of your german shepherds and also stories about them! The more the better.

    Here's my boy to get the ball rolling..

    GSDs are the best, beautiful dogs there

    Mags was 10 months, skin and bones from the kennels when i got her from the spca (i work for them part time so i got first dibs :) )
    she was owned by an old man who looked after her well and trained her well but he was moving house and couldn't keep her, so she went to be rehomed. kennels didn't suit her at all though, she was much too thin and a bit scared and nervous around other dogs.
    she's 20 or so months now, has put on 15lbs, sometimes bad tempered around other dogs, but i'm working on cureing that but otherwise she's a real pet, great to spend time with, very smart and trainable, very protective of me, and loves to go for long walks on the beach
    i love her so much.

    if i was a shepherd near a dog like mags, i'd probably have it out too ;)

    Mortified!:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 301 ✭✭michelleans


    Gillie and deaddonkey your dogs are both gorgeous! Beautiful photos!

    We must have a german shepherd group get together when Jake is here :) Jake has played with lots of dogs but he especially loves playing with his own breed! Anyone else find that? He really loves his sister.

    Gillie Jake's pops out too at the strangest times don't worry I've got lots of photos of it showing too :D

    Deaddonkey - Jake does need a gf :o He's going through the adolescent phase right now - our poor cushions.... :rolleyes:

    Lol!!! I'm getting my girl - Esri - on saturday!!! I'm so dying to get her can't wait! Love gsd's - our first one loved water too - mind you your feet were very interesting in water! she was like jaws! We'd bring her down to the river down the road and she'd splash us despite us being 5 feet+ from her on the bank. as for us in the water she thought our feet was food or toys!
    I'll get pics of my Esri (suppose better say our - fiance will get stroppy!) on photobucket asap and show you. The GSD meet up would be cool! Beautiful dogs michelleans, gillie and deaddonkey. Nice to see so many like minded people here :D
    (oh and for deep space nine fans ya thats Esri dax! lol ask fiance i don't have a clue!:rolleyes: :confused: :eek: )

    They're all so beautiful & cute and bring back childhood memories of one of our GSDs, her name was Lady and short for a big long highfulunten name on her Cert, she was a pedigree and we bred many beautiful pups from her. She was so loveable, gentle and a great family pet, we had her for years until the next door neighbour (FB) poisoned her. It broke our hearts and we never got another GSD after. Seeing these photos just wants me to have another one but unfortunatley I don't have the garden space.

    i don't have garden space
    but i arrange my work hours and my social life to fit in with getting enough exercise for the dog, hitting tennis balls for her to wear her out quickly
    she gets about 2 hours a day and she loves it.
    i say do it, the world needs more shepherds

    I did give the thought alot of consideration but I am not around much and wouldn't be able to exercise a GS on a regular basis plus it would also be alone quite a bit. That would not be fair. When circumstances change then I would definately get one.

    Congradulations on your new puppy! Can't wait to see photo's of her :)
    I also have no idea about the deep space nine :)

    I have a garden at present but my boy only goes into it when one of us is out there. I always have him in his room in the house when we leave and go out. (yes he has his own room :D ) We also exercise him alot. Hitting balls real far is great it tires him out alot and he loves chasing em. We also have playdates with other dogs and they just run and run and run and have a great time.

    When we didnt have a garden to be honest my boy was perfectly happy to be living in the apartment with us. They love to be around people and when faced with a huge garden and no body in it or lying at my feet in the room he always chooses to be near me. Love the breed so much!

    I also have a GSD.......although I have no pictures of him on my computer. I always keep meaning to upload some pics of him. His name is Kesh, and I have to admit he is a bit crazy (he fits in well with the family!).......and he gets terribly jealous of anyone who gets attention. He is a gorgeous dog, and very gentle really, just not to the plants in the garden!

    I loved the pictures of the GSDs they are so gorgeous. Corkimp sis.......can't wait to see Esri either. Ooo the excitement for tomorrow morning!! (By the way, Corkimp is actually my sister! Small world eh?)

    Our GS when we were small was the most loving and intelligent dog we ever had. Absolutely fab.........it broke our hearts when she had to be put down due to her hips going. As a family we are suckered in by GSDs, even my brother in Wales has a Belgian Shepherd puppy, and of course she is adorable too. Anyway I'll stop now or I'll ramble on for hours!

    here's my not-so-little girl!! Brought her down yesteray. She's just over 13 weeks old.She got really sick in the car and was scared witless. Last night she perked up and is being a Diva - refuses to go outside without us - think she doesn't trust me!! Lol. She is now out the back running after a ball on a rope with my fiance Dave. May I introduce you to Esri :D
    Oh no! a camera! Hide!

    she's a stunner
    so damn cute, i squealed like a little girl when i saw the pics

    good luck with her

    i met a 4 month old very nervous shepherd pup tonight while out walking my dawg
    the guy got her from a dodgy breeder, she's v. nervous, i think she's been abused quite badly
    she let me say hello to her after a while, i hope she'll be ok
    nice little dog


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 861 ✭✭✭deaddonkey

    Lol! She is cute in more ways then 1! she knows which of us is the bigger slob - Dave! I'm the bad cop - telling her to go to bed at 1am! she is nervous a bit of people - more because she was grabbed at night by the breeder to put her and her littermates to bed. She's crafty though - figuring out that chewing things like our shoes is great! Oh and she tries nibbling on the skirting boards and scratching at the door.
    She is smart as hell - sits, fetches and is beginning to give the paw. Bit of a diva though - not wanting to go outside much but is being led out (unwilling little madam!) so she can go to the loo and play. She'll be an outside dog once I get her kennel.will post new pics in a week or so if you want to see.:p
