He's still intact, has an impressive package for a little guy! Wasn't my intention, he was supposed to be fixed before I got him, but - long story. Just gonna say, he ain't no mutt.....

Gabby 11/7/13 - 9/24/25
I never know what to write for this type of moment. Just to say she was the best dog of my 61 years. I waited until I had laid her to rest by spreading her ashes on the banks of her favorite river. God blessed me with you, Gabby.

Great looking beast, best family a family can have. Condolences.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
My condolences, saying goodbye to a loyal family member sucks.

Sorry for your loss !!!
Thanks, everyone.
Ripper, I have trained many dogs and used all kinds of methods. I used this guy's videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ONdkA4_xAc. If you're looking for a family dog, put the time in and use this method. I also used a correction collar and pinned quail when training to bird hunt in the field. A GSD is only good for half the time as a true bird dog, and likes to play too much, but was great with no other dogs in the field. Remember, if you are looking for a bite dog, if it is not from a long line of bite dogs, it takes time to train that into them. You can ask anyone that Gabby was the sweetest GSD they knew, but she would rip your head off if commanded to.
Enjoy your Land Shark, man, do I remember that, and will enjoy it again in the spring of next year.

Sorry for you loss brother. Been there and done that more times than I care to remember. Cherish the memories.
If I could bottle this up and sell it, I'd be a billionaire.....

Thanks She has grown up a bunch since that last picture.. She is quite the lady for sure. very good at alerting us if someone is near the house. friendly as hell to folks once we tell her it OK. she owns the couch of course and is turning into a real cuddlebug (we are thrilled)
