Because my heeler is enough dog to handle by himself, and he doesn't like other dogs anyway.

I do and I love her and consider her my child. She’s 7 years old now and After she’s gone I’ll never own another GSD. She is absolutely perfect except the shedding. I never realized a dog could shed so much hair.

Because this asshole popped up at the local shelter


About four months after she died



And his sister popped up a few months later.



After our GSD died, I was thinking about contacting Joker about one of the magnificent GSDs he was looking for homes for. She didn't want to jump into another dog, after being heartbroken by losing her buddy of 13 years, so I didn't push it.

Damn if I didn't get the urge to see what the Humane Society had and stumbled on 4 puppies they'd listed that day. All Cane Corso/GSD mixes. The male above was 14 weeks and 35 lbs. I figured he'd get big, so I "nudged" the wife in his direction. He's been a great dog. 106 lbs a few weeks back at the vet's office and very laid back. They caled him a big baby. Sis is a lot smaller and a lot more energetic.

I'm not home enough to make having a dog a worthwhile experience for either of us.

Cats are ok, though.

Because I like Dobermans more. GSD's are awesome, but the shedding is too much for me.

@Real_PhillBert

That is an awesome pic!

My reason for not having a GSD is fairly straight forward and I am not sure why I have to keep posting pictures of him.  We all know Belgian Malinois are the kings of working dogs.  Mine likes to scale service loaners.

I have one; she’s 3 and the whole family absolutely loves her.  Amazing alarm for anything that gets on the property.  I told
My wife we should have named her Velcro because she never leaves your sight except when it’s bedtime and her lazy ass moves from her living room bed to one of the kids bedrooms to sleep with them.  

The only irritating thing is the hair.....I don’t know how it is possible to lose that much hair and not be bald.  Also, she learned very quickly how to open the doors and let herself out. Not a big deal but I think out of spite she refuses to learn to close them.

I do have one and it's because the infected ears, the infected anal glands, poop that looks like I own a cow and the massive amounts of hair are all worth it to have a dog that looks and acts like a dog.

I have a german Shepherd/lab mix, but you couldn't tell if she has lab in her except the ears are a bit more floppy than a GS.

All white except for a faint tan line down her back. She also hates anyone outside the family. She wasn't well socialized when younger (rescue).

Gets along well with the cats, and will give them baths if they allow. She does get jealous when the cats play, and tries to barge in.

I have a lab that has a job.  He finds me things to shoot, then I shoot them, then he brings them back.  He will swim out into a river in January (here in Michigan) to retrieve a goose. He will quietly slip through the forest to find me grouse. He found, flushed, and retrieved 19 of 20 pheasants we turned loose on a preserve a couple weeks ago.

I would take a good hunting lab over any other breed.

Today, she's a year old and over 80 lbs.

It would be unfair to the GSD Malinois to be left alone 12-16 hours a day.

I want a GSD puppy pretty bad, but I'm convinced it would be too high maintenance for my family. My wife, bless her heart, already has her hands full with three kids under 10 years old. She also just isn't good at dog training or being consistent in managing doggy behaviors. I work all day...so she would, in effect, ruin the puppy. LOL.

And she used to want a GSD...but now she wants a Collie and thinks that will be a "breeze" compared to a GSD. I do not want a collie. I want something big and strong with a protection instinct.

So I guess we won't be getting anything.
