I heart this thread. We have two landsharks. Our first GSD is 4 year old Josie. Here she is down by the river a couple years ago.  And putting her to work around the house...  Last spring we decided we needed another puppy. A friend of my wife's was planning on getting this pup and then couldn't for some reason, so we were able to get her instead. Here's Greta!  And again  And the two girls together after playing in the snow.  They're like peas and carrots! They both have fantastic noses. I'd love to get them into tracking. One of our games with Josie is to take her out to the farm and play hide and seek with her. We'll throw her toy out and then run and hide. Bonus: GSD decal here

WolfensteinBag posted:Future Puppy  We took Greta out today to work on recalls and then some hide and seek. She loves the flirt pole too.  She looks a lot like her daddy, Rocco, but we're thinking she'll be about the size of her mama Shelby.

Does anybody use a furminator on a long coat shepherd? Bonus pic of our girl Greta:

Thanks for the replies. We might just stick with the rake for now. She sure does shed a lot.Skizzles posted:edit: btw, please send Greta to me. Also, can't let her go. Josie would get lonely.  Those two are like peas and carrots

The Paw has force dryers available for use on open swim days. I should just take them up for swimming and then use these. I bet that would work pretty well.

I have a Czech/DDR dog and not only is she my best friend, she's a great pet. I'd never have her in an apartment, though. We live on about a half acre and have access to a farm to let her run and play.

I agree. My Josie was crazy driven. She hated her crate and even destroyed her upper canines trying to break out. We kept her busy and she matured into my best friend. She clung to me during my last time with the flu. Her nickname is mama bear because of the way she looks after us.

Here's my Josie. My BFF. Me and her are like peas and carrots! Here's my Greta. She's a monkey and a total sweetheart. She's almost mature enough to be left alone without eating furniture or socks.  They are the coolest dogs ever!

Turtle Dad 420 posted:Case in point: Zelda  Tomberforce posted:So we advertised for a new housemate and had a reply from a guy who sounded promising. We knew he had a dog but he was coy about the breed. I think he was a bit taken aback by how excited we were when he said he had a black GSD! We love them! The guy we got Josie from has a black GSD. She looked awesome and was cool as hell, too.

Our Josie is Czech/DDR and she weighs in around 70lbs, FWIW. Great looking dog!

Ausrotten posted:Air snapping when excited is pretty common to west euro shepherds (it's practically a breed trait in dutch and belgian shepherds) - a lot of people call it "clacking". Kas does it too and while I'm sure there is some way to train them out of it I honestly have never bothered. You might want to ask the training thread. Our Josie (the Czech/DDR) does this when working with fetch or flirt pole. It'll be KLACK! followed by klacklacklacklack type sounds. Her focus is impressive. Ausrotten posted:playing with a flirt pole Agreed. The flirt pole is awesome. Ausrotten posted:You also need to get his 'leave it' and 'stay' rock loving solid. Also agreed. Her's is amazing. It took time but it's worth it.
