New family member, a German Shepard.

Damn, it's so boring when you type down the whole story and just when to post.. It all disapears.
So here's the short verson...

We got a new dog. He is 2½ years old and was going to be put down but I told his former owner that I could take him instead. and here we are




The white one on the left is our Dogo Argentino from before.

Oh, he is gorgeous! Look at that face I'm a real sucker for Germans, I grew up around them. He looks great, good job for getting him

Nice addition

Looks like a good dog. I have a Doberman that I adopted at 2 years old from a man that was going to put her down and she is now 8. I also have a Dogue de Bordeaux. I considered getting a Dogo Argentino at that time. Is she FCI registered? Is she schutzhund trained? I don't know how it works for German Shepards in Sweden. Is it similar to Germany?

I have no idea how it works in Germany but schutzhund training isn't very big in Sweden. I think that you would need a permit, like for a gun. The family that I got him from wasn't into training at all so I trying to get him going in a lesh without pulling at this point. He wants to make it right but he just dont get it
His father tough, he's a nordic champion police dog.

I was going to say, he looks like a police dog, the way he carries himself LOL. (parents are police officers, so I've been around them too)

In Germany a German Shepard isn't allowed to be bred without having schutzhund certification. Well ,German Shepherds are certainly highly trainable. I cant believe it on the occasions that someone intends to put down a beautiful dog like that.

Very handsome boy! Congrats! I have a male GSD myself and he's my world. In my opinion, hey are the best breed!!!

Wow! Both your pups are Beautiful!
I too have a rescued German Shepherd. The owners were going to just drop her off on the Highway. We took her instead to have
her put down. She looked so sick. She was 1 1/2 yrs. old & only 33 lbs. Well, that was about 8 yrs. ago. We love her like crazy!
We also adopted a little black Pug to be her baby.
