Niles, now named Zero, visited the other day. I wanted to see him around the age of two, to evaluate him to see if he should be shown or bred. Right now he seems too thin, and immature for his age. He looks more like a 1yr old! But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Some GSDs, especially males, are slow to mature. I talked to his owner about different foods and supplements, and he’s going to try a new approach to try to build him up.


I really love to see my puppies as they grow up. It really warms my heart to see them doing so well in their new homes and making someone happy!
Niles/Zero was glad to see me, but more happy to be with his owner, and he is clearly strongly bonded to him. They’ve been working on obedience, agility, and scent work. Hopefully he will be able to show him in some AKC performance events.
It was a great visit! I can’t wait to see how he continues to mature.
Thank you, Emmanuel and Tiffany!
