I know arfcom has a lot of folks who have gsds this is my 1st pure bread gsd, Thor, He was a 1/2 german 1/2 american bred working dog. In the working dog community, he was considered a true hard dog temperament wise, a 1 handler 1 family dog, like a lot of military dogs, he was dangerous to everyone except people in my immidiate family, parents and twin sister that is. I had to be really careful with him. I got him in '95 when I was learning to train police and tracking dogs at a working dog kennel. I never had the slightest problem out of him with other dogs or cats, I could put a stray cat in his room and the cat could go up and step in front of him and eat from his bowl. He passed away in july '03. |
Sorry for your loss,  I lost my GSD Dec 2006 He was almost 12 years old.

 I've got lots of dogs but I always like to have 1 pure bred german shepherd in the pack, for protection and the characteristics that make german shepherds so unique, so I bought fenris in march '04. Fenris is from czech border patrol lines from a breeder in montana www.sapphireshepherds.com/     |
Here's Loki he's 3 1/2 now.  He's from Alabama K9, this is his Dad's Bio: The Tinman vom ALK is the son of Bastin vom Kokeltal winner of the 2001 Bundessieger, 2002 USA National Schutzhund Champion, 2003 German Shepherd Champion, 2003 WUSV Championship highest scoring U.S. dog, 2003 Vice National Schutzhund Champion, 2004 Southeastern Regional Champion, and 2004 Vice National SchutzhundChampion; a grandson on the dam's side of the famous V Asko Von Der Lutter 2000 WUSV Weltmeiser V-1 World Schutzhund Champion. ETA: He's my 1st GSD....it's been a hell of a learning experience raising him but I couldn't ask for a better dog. Here he is on "Guard Duty"  |
bi colored gsd's are my favorite, he looks like he's about 90 or 100 pounds? Fenris is just over 90. |
Beautiful dogs!
I hope to find a black GSD once we get a bigger yard. 
|
they say thanks. black and bi colored german shepherds are beautiful dogs. It's not uncommon for people to tell me though that they didn't know german shepherds could be all black like that. Then there's the all white 1s to. |
Mine was all White. |
any photos of him, or her? |
Here is Maddie-  She was a great dog. She loved the kids and played with them alot. That pic was taken a few month before she died. We were moving and I was boxing up the computer and she was watching me do it. Those brown spots on her legs was from a nervous habit she had. She would lick until they were raw. The vet said that there was nothing we could do to stop her from doing it. She died a month after we moved. Maddie was 12 years old then and was having a hard time getting around. Her hips were shot. I miss her to this day. |
My male Boone is around that size give or take 5 lbs |
Here's my girl Sierra. She is 7 years old and is bout 90 pounds. She is my first GSD and I don't think I'll ever get any other breed from here on out.....they are great dogs!!! She loves the snow!!   Me and my twin daughters and Sierra after we built a snow man last winter.
