    I will be getting one in a few months. It'll be the 3rd one I've owned in my lifetime. Can't wait. I am obsessed about it. So if you'd like, post some pics. I would love to hear & see some great storys on your Shepherd.

    My parents bought a Shepard, Max, and he was from my birth until I was about 8. Awesome dog, I will try and get some pictures scanned from his puppy days. There is nothing cooler than a shepard puppy!

    That's terrific! I love dogs, period. I own 2 Goldens, but Shepards are high up on the list for me.

    We used to breed purebred white ones (although they weren't AKC/CKC bloodline). Great dogs. If we had more space, I'd get one for my son.

    Oh yea!
    I just got done playing with Dak in the yard and came in and saw this. He's a german import, red / black. Perfect companion, loyal, brave and trustworthy.

    Great dogs.

    Have you picked out yours yet or are you looking for breeders? My wife can help hook you up with some great dogs.

    Bill 317-563-2352 if you would like some leads.

    my mom has one, classic looking, big Shepherd, calls him Max. She almost got rid of it when he was young, kept nipping at her, but now that he's grown, he's a real good dog. no pics.

    I already put a deposit on 1 from Briarwood Shepherds. They Breed GIANT shepherds (pure breed). The Female Should be going into heat anytime now. She is 28" & 110lbs. The male is 31" & 144 lbs. They have breed this combo before and produced Amazing size & temperment. the have a 4% hip displasia problem (which I find very low for this size). Here are some pictures of them. I can't wait!!!!
    The female is the one with the girl next to her.
    They do have a web-site. www.briarwoodshepherds.com It seems to be down today. I talked to the lady, Jolynn, She said it'll be back up this weekend. Check it out when you can. I was impressed!

    I just got my German Shepherd puppy a few months ago from a breeder in San Diego. I love her to death! We are using some great training methods with her so she is going to be the absolute sweetest shepherd in the world when she is older...she is a doll already! She is super smart though...makes for some funny stories!

    If your dog ever wants a playmate, give me a call Armen :) I brought Leyna (her name) to Crystal Cove a few weeks back and she loved it! A bit intimidating as a puppy, but she enjoyed all the people and dogs.

    Here are a couple of shots of her. She is much bigger now...these are a few months old.

    I've had two.. 'Hans' and 'Peso'. Both were great dogs but had a tendency to find their way to the top of my six-foot wall and scare the crap out of me when I least expected it. Neither ever ran away, they just wanted to see what was going on in the neighbors yard.

    Peso also caused the mailman to stop delivering in the cul-de-sac my parents lived on. He had something against people in uniform and pinned the dude down by the neck one day. Luckily, this was back in the '70's before everyone decided to "sue first, ask questions later". :D
