I got a couple pics of some Groenendals at a trial a couple of weeks ago.  Potato phone picture quality though.

Yep! Did you get a chance to interact? They can be standoffish and defensive by nature.
Fun to watch at work though.

I got to interact with the older dog a bit, not much.  It seemed more happy just to look at me.  The puppy could've cared less about me.

I'm just here to say that the OP should be fired for using "ECT" in the thread title and the thread.  That's not the abbreviation he thinks it is.

Got a few questions.

I have a female maligator puppy I brought home at about 8 weeks. While she did have some potty/housebreaking training at the kennel, it didn't seem to carry over at my home.

Now I was to blame for one accident because I gave her water at late night just to stop her from begging. However, the remaining incidents, she relieved her bladder/intestines in front of me, without warning. Multiple times in one day.

I didn't have her in a crate when I brought her home, and kept her on a bed. I took the bed away, and decided to keep her crated between every walk, play, meal, potty session - in order to deter her from soiling herself in her quarters and try to reinforce her only doing this when taken outside.

Is the crate the best approach to the problem, and am I overusing it?

She also has a habit of stealing household items or shoes, instead of using her toys. How do I break that behavior?

We had to put our boxer down last week. I was on board with being a one dog household for a while. My wife, OTOH, told me our female GSD was lonely. She came home a few days ago with a bag of puppy toys and a crate in the car, so you can guess what happened next.

He’s a second cousin to our 3 y/o female. He has a tiny bit of residual white on his toes, but we aren’t worried about conformation shows. Most of his pedigree is comprised of working titled dogs. Meet Zeus, my wife’s Mother’s Day present. That’s fitting bc she gave me the female for Father’s Day.

Be consistent 100% of the time, it's never cute. it's never OK.
For young pups we put any items out of reach if we can't watch the pup.
6months we start leaving them more and more items within reach.  I correct them right away"bad" then put the item close by them where I can watch and wait. Correct, teach the command "leave it" when they start going for it, correction leave it. I toss it near by with a leave it.
Then pick-up and put the item back where it belongs with a leave it command.

Most important is consistency.
good luck

It's been a ride so far. Now we're thinking she's a GSD. No more fleas, ticks, or worms and she's growing daily.

GSD owners, at what age did you change your dog from puppy food to adult food?
Link Posted: 10/15/2022 3:33:26 AM EDT

Here are my three. They said the little one on the right  was part GSD when I got her from the pound last summer. Not sure what the other part(s) are. Either way, don't care she is an incredibly awesome, smart pup.

Around a year. If that is the correct answer I don't know.

I was told they’re puppies until almost 2 years old due to growth plates in the bones

This is Jefferson.  Named by my wife.  I didn't ask permission to bring him home as a pup and would have had a warmer reception from her if I had brought home a live-in girlfriend. 1/2 West German working line (mom) and 1/2 Czechoslovakian working line (mom).

When I brought him home ~8 weeks



~7.5 months old.  Haven't weighed him in a while but he is bigger than my upper 60's # female and has much larger feet and joints.




This is my friend Jimmy and K9 Champ.  They were both killed Feb. 15, 2023 by someone driving over 80mph and ran a red light and t-boned them.
