GSD Puppy Ears

This video illustrates how a GSD Puppy’s ears might look at just under 4 months of age. Especially note how sometimes this puppy’s right ear is flat and pointed hard backwards, and sometimes it is flopping. The left ear is up nicely. This is all within the range of normal in my experience, especially basedContinue reading “GSD Puppy Ears”

Winston the Babysitter

At two years old, Winston’s temperament is superb. He is a half brother to Clyde and See See, who are 16 weeks old. He does a great job of playing gently with them, and they learned how to be respectful of a larger dog from their mother Jane.

Puppy training

A couple of the puppies that went to homes in the Richmond area came over on Saturday for some informal training. We worked on walking on a leash and coming when called.

Connie’s new family

I love the way Connie is already adapting to her new family! The Jack Russell and Connie are already curling up together. This was love at first sight! She settled in on Saturday, and these pics were taken on Sunday.

This is definitely a big characteristic in my bloodline and something I’m particularly proud of. Natural retrieving is the instinct most highly correlated with trainabilityContinue reading “German Shepherd puppy as natural retriever”

Long-haired female GSD available

Sadly, my friend who I was holding “Connie” for is unable to take her now, or to give me a time frame because of the health of her other dogs. So with Connie’s best interest in mind, I must place her. Just because she is the last puppy available out of a litter of 11Continue reading “Long-haired female GSD available”

Goodbye to Quarterhorse

Quarter went to his new home today! All the way in Pennsylvania. I’m very pleased with this placement because the family is familiar with German Shepherds, having owned them before. And horses! They have horses! They will have to be careful with Quarter at first until he gets used to being around them, keeping himContinue reading “Goodbye to Quarterhorse”
