GSD puppy ears

Good news Bad news

Good news: Connie’s ears are up! After just 6 days of tape, the forms got a little dislodged, so her owner had to take all the tape off. And lo and behold, they look perfect! Yay! Bad news: They fell back down…. They had to be retaped. I don’t have a pic of the retaping.Continue reading “Good news Bad news”

Maverick, aka Ranger

Just got these great pics of Maverick, now called Ranger. His new owner described him as “Seriously handsome. His ears are tall, his tail is long, and he eats like a horse. Well loved.” Thank you Tammy, for taking good care of him and loving him.

Connie’s ears

I have been communicating with Connie’s owner frequently about her ears. She is rightfully concerned that they need taping. After a couple of weeks of up and down , and now mostly down, at 5 months old, we decided to tape. In this video, you can see Connie, who is the only longhair, with herContinue reading “Connie’s ears”

Dressy, aka Greta

I really love to get pics! Dressy lives out of state so I haven’t gotten to see her since she left. I’m not sure how much time elapsed between these pics, but check out those ears! Also so glad to hear that she has graduated from her puppy class and learned basic commands, and sheContinue reading “Dressy, aka Greta”

Love these pics of Mustang!

I get to see Mustang every now and then because he lives in Richmond. His name is “Chief” now, and at almost 5 months, he weighs 60lbs. His ears look great, after some iffy up and down time. I love his nice dark colors and great substantial structure. Being a longhair, he looks huge.

Loosy, Dry and Wet

I just got these fabulous pics showing how Loosy’s ears are doing. Very impressive, and the socialization is going great too. She gets to go hiking, swimming, and meets lots of people along the way. I love hearing this, because I know the family is not just having fun with her, but all the earlyContinue reading “Loosy, Dry and Wet”

Random pics of my sweet babies

My sweet puppies are coming right along. They are 4 months old, well let’s say 4 and a half. They will be 5 months on July 6, 2021. I weighed them today at petSmart. See See weighs 48 lbs., and Clyde weighs 52 lbs. I am still fighting with See See’s ears. Please, if youContinue reading “Random pics of my sweet babies”

Those ears again, and How did we do at the show?

Believe it or not, See See’s ears are still standing! I took the tape off Friday morning. They looked great at the show that day, and she won over Clyde, and then got second in the Puppy Herding Group competition! Winston got 2 points toward his championship (15 is needed and he now has 6)Continue reading “Those ears again, and How did we do at the show?”

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”

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”
