Re: thinking about getting a german shepard

hi

we have a gsd too, shes a great dog - couldnt ask for better - however she is 2 and is very lively, boistrous and demanding...... most of our time is taken up between her and our collie - our dogs get walked between 3 and 4 hours a day - every day..... please be aware the need much more walking / exercise than the dog you already have, they are also very loyal and protective. i trust mine completely with my 8yr old brother - but also please remember how big they grow - mine can put her paws on my shouldes when she stands - and im 5ft 6 (so not paricually short!!!) ours gets on great with other dogs.

with regards, if you get one make sure they are introduced slowly and give the other dog time to adjust to having a new pup around - as long as you introduce them slowly and carefully you shouldnt have problems (providing your current dog gets on with other dogs)

on the whole gsd's are great dogs and we'll never be without one - ever.......

susie and the gang
