    i've been thinking of a name all day, i have even been using the translator to be creative.

    the dog is a Chihuahua, black with a small white spot between front legs.
    the main part to this whole dog is its ears, they are huge, i mean really huge. index finger deep 2 inches wide.

    i have entertained perro negro, just cant sing it good enough.

    now im stuck on sambo, it fits him, big ears, black an probly mixed.

    i dont wont to be offensive to a lot of people, but if one has a problem, so what. cant please everybody.

    so lets hear a few suggestions, or yeas or nays for SAMBO.
    I did liked the restaurant on hwy 52 at aviation ave.i think they changed it to dennys

    I'd forgotten how much fun and hard work a new poopy can be. I got an 8 week old St. Bernard, and she is taking over my life!! [:p][:p]

    As a trial (I think I have FINALLY figured out how to post pictures) I have a picture of my new pup to share. Ironically enough I am a University of Florida graduate, however, I've always wanted a Bulldog. Well, here is my new male Bulldog "Gator" along with my son Brenden. You can barely see the female Bulldog in the background and her name is "Florida". One day (I hope) they will be bred and I will have Florida Gator Bulldogs!! [8D] ghs

    My kids just brought last night me an 8 week old german Sheppard puppy for father's day. Haven't had a dog for 3-4 years now -- last one got killed on the road because Dad wasn't watching [:(][V].

    This one is just a ball of hair and a wagging tail. We have spent some of the morning down at the pond, bonding.

    Think I'll name her Shilo.

    I have good kids[^][^][^][^][^][^]

    my best friend growing up had a pure bred german shepherd. that dog was a pain. extremely protective couldnt stand to se us horsing around. dog liked to get reactions out of me. id be other his place around 8 years old with my hand up in the air like i was being robbed. fricking dog liked to walk up behind me and nip my albows hitting my funny bone. never had any breakins at that house though.[;)]

    Maggie isnt a shepherd but she is a good german!

    Is this your first GSD? If so, I have a really good book to lend you for a while...

    I wonder how ECC's dog is doing. He got a really nice bloodline from Montana.

    No purchase necessary.. It is full blooded but no papers, which is fine.. It will be neutered.. It was free to good home, and it got one.

    Nice dogs

    thats a cute puppy...I love German Shepards, if i didn't have hunting dogs I would have one as a pet/companion... there is something cool about a big smart friendly dog that can be instantly converted into one of the most formidable weapons available with just one word. German shepards are one of the most loyal breeds as well and they will give their lives to save yours.
    I was a narcotics detection dog handler in the Air Force and worked DUSTY from a year old pup in patrol dog school all the way thru his narco training. It was awesome to see how quickly he got it.
    after I got out of the service, I bought a big, white German shepard I named TANK and trained him the same way, it was really fun to show him off for my friends who smoked weed...he would bust them every time...lol

    Gus is 7-8 weeks old.. He is already potty trained to an extent, I said "Gus, pee pee" and he went right to the door... The squirrels were kind of distracting him but he went right out

    I have two of them. IMO the best breed ever.

    Dixon on the left, Hanna on the right, and the worlds smartest dog in the middle her name is Zoey, she is a sheltie which is another great breed. She can do every trick in the book and also does hand signals. She was also and award winning agility dog.

    both of my GS were the same way. Dixon was house broke at 8 weeks and hanna at 9 weeks. They will still have an occasianal accident but all you have to do is keep correcting them and those will stop real soon.

    one thing though, GS can dissapear. they get on their nose tracking a rabbit or deer and come out of their trance in the next county, I suggest a microchip and a fence

    awwww! so cute and fuzzy [:D]


    I swear, the reason puppies look so cute is an evolutionary defense mechanism...it keeps you from killing them when they piss on the carpet [;)]

    German Shepherds are like guns, you can never just have one!
    we have 2 wonderful girls, 3 yrs old & 1 yrs old. We've had GSDs since 1968. Only dogs we will have.

    They are easy trained. I moved to a job in Casper Wyoming and the only house I could find had a 18" high fence and I worked from 7am to sometimes 10pm and had to train her to stay in the fence. I come home and she was there waiting on me.. Also they do guard the people & property well .
