Well keep it in your yard and maybe you won't ever have to meet a pissed off Marine infantry veteran. You can choose to believe or not believe, I really don't care. People who refuse to pick up after their dogs are selfish pieces of trash.

Eh I'm sorry, actually I'm not. That's something you just don't say. Want to kill the owner...fine. But it's not the animals fault....

you have a beautiful dog there. like someone said, be prepared to exercise her. i have to take my GSD mix out 2-3 times a day to play fetch with him, otherwise he has so much energy i can't stand to be around him

here's my rescued gsd mix in his pool:

[Porn Shop Clerk]

things to know about gsds:

GSDs live an average of 10 to 14 years

They love to learn and to have a purpose

GSDs require early intensive and extensive socialization and obedience training

The breed is very fond of children once a relationship is established. In fact, some say he’s a cross between a babysitter and a cop

GSDs are sometimes lovingly referred to as “German Shedders”

Without regular exercise, your German Shepherd Dog may become overactive and difficult to live with because of the pent-up energy that develops from confinement (playing fetch or tug is a good way to reinforce behavior that has already been trained by requiring the dog to work for the play. sit, down, speak, drop it are all good commands to work on while playing)

You will have to be an Alpha with a GSD. Females may not require it as much as males, but I have to almost behave like a drill sergeant with mine, otherwise he's gonna do what the fug he wants when he wants. And when they have focused in on something, its very difficult to break that focus.

Give her good, strong chew toys. I like the Jolly Pets line. Kongs are not bad either, just overpriced. A GSD has jaws like almost no other dog.

A bored GSD is a destructive GSD. A VERY destructive GSD. This why so many problems arise with their aggression. This is the last dog you want to leave to its own devices for any length of time or tie them out and neglect them. After they're about 2 years old, they can be trusted to be alone

Most importantly, and you may not have this issue, PROTECT YOUR GERMAN SHEPHERD FROM STUPID PEOPLE. Its stupid to tease any dog, but its downright dangerous to tease German Shepherds. Their prey drive is so much stronger than most people realize, and they really wouldn't differentiate between play and tease, especially when young.

The benefits of a German Shepherd—loyalty, protectiveness and eagerness, to name a few—come from careful obedience training and authority. Everyone in the household must be prepared to show “authority” and earn the dog’s respect with a firm but loving touch. They do not respond to negativity or anger. Once achieved, this respect may need to be earned again and again.

Hope that helps.

Wish my GSD were a female. He'd be a lot easier to handle. But there's also no telling what happened to him before I found him on the side of the road.

great info...will definitely be googling info on them...wish I knew what else she's mixed with...

Her NOT being an alpha dog is why she is my dog. Very sweet...very submissive

the lady at the shelter said a few times that she would be a very good dog for first time dog owners

[Porn Shop Clerk]

she may not even be mixed. she may just have been ditched because her ears never stiffened up. people dump (or kill) full blooded GSD pups for weak coloration, floppy ears, etc.

but she's probably mixed with cur, or lab like mine. not sure what he's mixed with.

[CatofWar]

She's mixed with something. Def not full blooded gsd. Pretty regardless.
