Haha, everyone has their favorite. Yes, this puppy was just darling. I wish he would have let me get just a bit closer, such a shy little guy! He would be full-grown now, I bet he is a beauty! GSD's are some of the coolest dogs, I have been fortunate to have a few myself. Very smart, and so loyal!

Why thank you! Yes, he was a beautiful little guy. I would just love to see what he looks like now!

Thanks so much for your interest

He would for sure be a beauty, I normally don't like the black and tan GSD colour(I like black and dark sable mostly), yes I still love them, but this one is beautiful!

I'll have to let you know if I ever run into him again, I'll snap a photo!!

I see. Yes, I agree, there are so many black and tans it seems a bit overrated. I am a big fan of just black GSD's as well!

Okay

Yes, that is why. I see so many black and tans, I am happy I own a dark sable. And I love black GSD! I am very close to talkin my mom into getting one. xD She is going to consider it soon.

That is awesome, I wish to get one someday. I have had two black and tans and one sable, but all ended unfortunately.

One black/tan, Maggie, got hit by truck as puppy and passed away Other black/tan, Tammy, had neurological disorder and had to be put down!

Our beautiful Sable, Millie (she was an absolute beauty!) we had to give away because we had too many animals. Man I wish I had found a way to keep her!

Aww, so sad to hear that GSD are great dogs, I wish you never lost any of them.

It is a shame, but things happen for reason, always!

I will get another someday, they really are great dogs. So smart and loyal, you just can't beat that!

For sure, Dakota is very smart. She knows all the Obedience commands, just not heel and off leash heel. She is doing very good with it though!

I bet! You can tell that she is intelligent by her eyes alone, let alone the fact that she is German Shepherd. She will earn whatever you choose to teach her, as long as you are patient and persistent!

For sure, after I am done teaching her all the Obedience commands I am moving to teach her lots of tricks, and a small agility course in the backyard. Can't wait

That's way cool. It is important, too, for GSD's. So many people do not understand when they get them that they are working dogs and need a job!

XxKyoshi In reply to Dogs-of-Oregon [2012-09-20 17:59:16 +0000 UTC]

For sure, I know Dakota will be carrying a dog back pack when she is older. I am guessing that counts as a job xD

It certainly does! I know several GSD owners who do just that. But anything like the training you do with her is good. It is a shame when people allow these incredible dogs' intelligence go to waste! Agility is excellent as well

For sure, I see way to many big dogs taking the lead of their owners. Dakota is very smart puppy, and kind towards humans unless she senses I am nervous or they are scared. She'll bark at them, and she is unsocialized towards other dogs. We are working on that right now, Dakota is unsure around other dogs.

She is smart, but not socialized.

Yes, I bet she is wonderful. It is nice when they can sense your uneasiness, they make such great protection.

That is okay, there is always time for that. She is so smart, and you are good with dogs I can tell, whatever you choose to teach her she will learn. It can take time and patience, but if you want her to be socialized with other dogs, I have no doubt you will get her there!!

She is, sometimes she can be a bit rough but I manage to stop her. And it will take her time, I am not sure if she had a bad experience with other dogs. She will learn to be nice, until a threat is nearby.

My mom is thinking about getting her into protection training from where we bought her, we go there every Saturday for free training for one hour. It helped her out lots! I also train her at home, so she'll be very smart as she gets older

Yes, yyou will get it no doubt! And of course she will always e protective, this is a good trait in a dog.

That is a good idea, great discipline which of course is important! She certainly will it will pay off big time!!

For sure.

And my mom said she doesn't want it, but she says it will be good xD She is confusing
