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!

He's moving in tomorrow. I cannot wait! Will introduce him to you when we meet him!

My housemate moved in with his black GSD Saxon - he's amazing, but has a couple of bad traits.

Is there anything we can do to train him not to attack small dogs who come over to him when we're walking? I've already had to break up 2 fights. I don't think he was actually biting them properly, but it's hard to pull them apart! He also has a tendency to snap his teeth in your face when he's excited - apparently this was trained into him by a stupid ex of my housemate when he was a puppy. It's not aggressive at all, but definitely not ideal!

Other than that he's an absolutely incredible dog, and fantastic with people. I've been trying to hint to the housemate that he should let us adopt him as he's constantly out socialising and leaving the dog in the garden on his own (though he could be just leaving him with us as he knows we'll look after him) but no luck!

I hope crosses are welcome in here but this is Molly!



She's a 5 month old GSD / New Zealand Huntaway cross. We adopted her from a rescue shelter a couple of days ago. She's bonded with us extremely quickly but we're trying to help her get over her nervousness and shyness around busy places and other dogs.

Here's a gif of her doing her best GSD face!



First socialisation classes this morning. She's incredibly calm for 5 months but very shy!
