~ German Dog Appreciation Thread! ~

This one of my favorite pictures of our boxers. Unfortunately the fawn girl passed away August 11. I still miss her greatly.

This is my own dog, Kimber. She is doing much better since switching to raw food.

Great looking boxers. Those and dobermans are high on my list when we get a dog.

Been a while since I posted a pic of my old man timber....i was gone on business for 3 weeks and just got home. He has been attached to my side since I walked through the door http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...fd65240e8c.jpg

My doberman, Renic, love of my life

Great looking doberman! I love reds, and you don't see them as often as the black / tans.

thanks, he is a cousin to the Doberman that competed in the group at Westminster a couple years ago. :) he's my baby boy, can't believe he is going to be 7 years old this coming April!

Titan..... 9 week old male GSD. Formal training starts in a week and he will be going to bootcamp for 2 weeks at 6 months old.

I love Titan! German Shep Puppies are my weakness.

This is Lyssa, she is 19 months now. Her mommy was imported from East Germany and her daddy was imported from Czech Republic. She is Working Line and is a handful, but also my best friend.

I had German Shepherd that was put to sleep 8 years ago. German Shepherds are amazing dogs, and he was the best dog I could have ever wanted. I wanted another one, but didn't get any dog until this weekend.

Today, I went and looked at a Berger Blanc Suiss Shepherd. Looks very much like a white German Shepherd, and the breed has German Shepherd up the ancestry line. I was completely blown away when I went to the breeder's home to check them out today.

This is the breeder holding the little one that will be coming home with me in 4 weeks.

If you do a search on "berger blanc suiss shepherd" on google you can get some fantastic shots of what he will look like as an adult.

Figured I'd chime in with my family dogs. The little black one is Bear, a miniature poodle/dachshund mix, and the big dog is Levi, a shepherd rottweiler (or at least we think).

http://i.imgur.com/iBLNIVR.jpg

Poor Levi blew out the tendons on both his back legs and will need surgery to fix it. Unfortunately, he belongs to my brother, whose youngest son (5) was born with a very sever heart defect that has required a few million in surgeries already, and probably more in the coming years. It sucks when it comes down to your dog or your kid, because it isn't much of a choice to make. I've been thinking about setting up a crowd funding thing to try and raise the money Levi need to fix his legs, but the family as a whole still needs to decide what happens with him. Long story, he may end up living with me or my parents. I really want everything to work out well for him, he's such a sweet dog.

Odin thrown in just because I liked the picture. My boy isn't German at all, which is weird considering the family dog history.

here is our girl Sasha she is a mix 3/4 rottie, my hubby rescued her a few years ago. We've always had a rottie and my mom has had a few as well. But our last boy had to be put down because his hips were sooo bad. It seems like all the rotties these days have hip issues. Even our mix has bad hips.

We also have a boston terrier, two italian greyhounds and a chihuahua(too many dogs).

Wyatt, our 7wk old GSD http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/...psvounabxp.jpg

Just brought him home yesterday. Exactly 8 week old Berger Blanc Suiss Shepherd.

Bad lighting on the pic, but he was laying under my computer table.

Here are a couple pics of my beasties. They're tiny, but tenacious.

Honest, they're vicious. Just look at the bones. My wife dressed them up like that. Well just the hats.

My male GSP Digger Dawg.

Beautiful dog. I grew up with one of those and he was an unbelievably good hunter for pheasants. Even without your signature block I could tell you were from the north with the pic of the Ptarmigan

Dekkja, AKC registered German Shepherd. My running/hiking/yoga buddy along with being one of the best dogs I have ever owned. She is 1 1/2. Hasn't yet grown into the ears! ha! Unfortunately, I haven't uploaded any pics of here since winter, but these will do. :)http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4gwuybcj.jpg

Thank you for the compliment. All the photos here are beautiful. We lived in the Yukon until 2007, that is where the ptarmigan pic was taken. There are not any ptarmigan here in central Alberta.

Digger went by plane to Fairbanks from Pennsylvania, then from Fairbanks to Dawson City Yukon. A friend picked him up at the Fairbanks airport and kept him overnight for me. He had a layover on his long flight and the airline employees were great. For the short jaunt between Fairbanks and Dawson City, he got constant ear scratches in his kennel from the co-pilot, he flew first class in the cockpit.

She got so big

I know German breeds are often labelled as cat killers, more than any other breed. It can and does happen. Dogs raised from a puppy in a home with cats makes a big difference. I think an issue that is more important is to raise kittens with dogs in the home. A small furry critter with jerky scared movements can trigger a prey response from any dog. A cat that is raised with dogs just doesn't give a fly poop.

I have noticed many times, my 10yr old male GSP and 5 yr old male cat happily curl up together and groom each other. I had a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and she was the same way.

Thought i'd share my first GSD and buddy, August. I adopted him about 6 months ago. He acts more like a cat but i love it!

Well we added another German dog (Dachshund) to our mix after we lost our girl of twelve years to a lung tumor. Careful now, he's vicious.

We also picked up a rescue which we were told was wire haired dachshund and terrier mix. Her is a pic of the whole gang.

Thanks for looking.

Love this! I have a Great Dane aka German Mastiff (not Danish as many believe) who is the love of my life! Her name is Josephine aka Joey born 4/1/14
