Thanks guys. He's really big for his age. My buddy and I got 2 half brothers. Mine is 10 days younger and a few lb bigger than his.

I love GSD's but toooooo much fur for me Doberman is where my heart landed me. Beautiful dogs. I love their stacked stance with the rear legs dipping low.

I got news for you. My broken coat Jack Russell will out-hair any Shepard. I never seen any little dog put out as much hair as him. I swear when one 2-3" hair falls out, a new 3" pops right back up. No lie... He's a hairy lil fook... Brushing barely helps. We just accept because he's worth it! Best lil dog I ever had.

 

In most cases, brushing usually helps. I had a Shepard years ago and as long as she was brushed well, hair wasn't bad. Long or short hair, if they shed, it sux.

Lets see the pics when you get him, red or black?

That's what everyone is saying but my research into it has been inconclusive at best. His sire is 80lb and the dam is 70lb. So I'm hoping for an 80lb dog. We'll see in a year.

 

Frank yeah I'd rather hang out with him than you. I'm sure you understand. Lol. But I did fix my issues yesterday. I got a set of punches.

beautiful....wish you would have adopted though

We thought about it and we have another dog that was saved from a kill shelter.  However, for a large breed with a potential for an aggressive streak, we wanted to control all the variables.  We chose a reputable breeder that has dogs with known temperaments and good bloodlines.  One of the problems with most GSD's is that they're interbred or a certain lineage has been overbred leading to genetic mutations and pups that aren't really fit for sale.  With our breeder, we knew what we were getting.  If we were looking for a smaller breed dog, we would have considered the adoption much more heavily. It is MUCH cheaper to adopt than buy from a good breeder.  

 

The other option we considered was to get a seeing eye reject.  The issues with that are that 1)it's not a puppy anymore and you miss out on all the fun (and problems) that comes with that 2) the waiting lists are close to 2 years long for the dogs and 3) they're predominantly american line dogs (which have interbreeding problems like mentioned above).

 

 

I said I would post the breeder information once we got a clean bill of health.  Well Wolfgang had his first vet visit last week and the doc was extremely surprised at this little guy's temperament. Nothing the doctor did riled Wolfie up, or even made him so much as flinch. We were very surprised and happy that this little guy has such good nerves.

Roberta is a great woman and cares about her dogs a lot. If you're going to contact them, let me know.

He is a beautiful pup! We have a 6 1/2 month old GSD we are having trained to be a ( hopefully) service dog for my son. He is about 62 pounds and 26" at 6.5 months. So fantastic with the kids already.

Thanks!! How big was he around 10 11 weeks?

Beautiful. All I've ever owned are GSD's. Love them. My boy now is 8 and still as lively as ever. What ya gonna name him?

I got him at 4 months and he was 32 pounds. They wait to see if there other testicle appears before they decide if they can be sold ..since it did not appear by 4 months they tossed him. Thier loss. Had his hips checked , trainer temper tested him..he is a winner

This is him at 3 1/2 months before I decided to take him :

Vet is saying about 80 pounds which is a perfect size for a male GSD. Much bigger and they start to lose what they were intended to be ..a working dog that can scale a wall to take out the bad guy ..or keep up with sheep and guard the flock.

His name is Wolfgang (wolfie).

The vet checked his testies and both were there. This little guy is prob gonna be bigger than 80lb. His mom is 70 and dad is 80. He's most likely going to be bigger than both.

All this cuteness going around.. I am certainly a dog person.. lol

His name is Wolfgang (wolfie).

That's a cool name for him. Do yourself a favor and invest in a real good shedding brush lol. Also a little bit of olive oil on his food here and there helps their coat. Also my buddy is 85lbs. He was 90 something but my vet who is a GSD specialist told me to keep him under 90.

We have rescued two Jindos in the last few years and we'll always try to find one first before anything else again.

Sorry I don't have pix, but they're somewhere between an Akita, Shiba Inu, etc....husky type dog but not as crazy. VERY smart and very loyal, good watch dogs but not agressive.

 

The male is about 75 lbs, female is 35. Great dogs, but a little hard to find.

Oh sure, he looks cute in the picture.  But I bet he is all puppy teeth and chewing off screen.
