Love them dogs

[roberth]

We got a GSD, 7yo female purebred, She's terrific.

Where did she come from? Good looking girl. Good for you.

She looks awesome! They're blowing that undercoat and the excitement probably added to it. Looks like there's some fur everywhere!

Hopefully she's more accepting of being brushed than ours.

I'm also curious as to where and how you got her. Adoption at 7 would make me curious about her history.

Hope you guys have some great time together!

A breeder near Woodland Park, she's 7. Thank you. Very sweet disposition, was quiet in the car all the way home, she's a good girl. Hangs out mostly with my girlfriend, and that's what I wanted.

We brushed her this morning, she just stood quietly, there is hair everywhere.

She had her last litter last year and she's so sweet the breeder wanted to keep her but they have a business to run and she deserves more attention than they could give her with all the other dogs and puppies around.

Nice looking Shepard, congratulations

I'm guessing they retired her?

There are a number of breeders out in those parts. The first one we dealt with was a Lake George address and parvo really devastated their litters. We got our pupper from a breeder in Florissant. I've even seen where breeders will adopt out females for free, with options to breed them later. Dog breeding is an 'interesting' business.

I'm sure your new girl will enjoy the attention you give her.

[roberth]

Yes, retired from High Country. High Country had a parvo problem last year. I talked to them about a couple of the survivor pups they had, those pups were claimed shortly thereafter.

She's a starter dog for me, just perfect, house trained and all that. She'll help me learn about dogs, girlfriend has a decade of experience, she's my first. She'll help us with the male we're probably going to get in a year or two.

High Country is the one. They called us about taking one of the survivors. We weren't sure if there might be long-term affects and we already had a handful with the youngster we're still training. Our pup that died "Zeb" was of Texi/Hemi parentage. Your girl looks a lot like Olive.

[Fentonite]

Very cool that you adopted an older dog, and she deserves a real home now. Well done.

[roberth]

Gman - we have Texi.
