German Shepherd

Tomorrow I finally get my new dog. My family and I have decided on a German Shepherd. I have wanted one for a long time for a variety of reasons.

1. They are loyal family dogs that love children.
2. They are fearless
3. They are highly intelligent
4. They are utterly terrifying if they are not your dog and, as a result, people keep their distance.

I want one like the black-faced one in this picture.


The ones I am going to look at are black and sliver and will probably look more like these at first.



To me the darker the face the more frightening the dog.

I am getting a male and I am going to name him Saul. I can't wait!!

Ahhhh...adorable pups that will grow into great dogs. Of course, you know you'll have to keep us updated on the newest member of your family. There's nothing like a furbaby to get me to crawl out from under my rock ;-)

Oh my. I had forgotten how cute Shepherd puppies are. Congratulations.

Just curious, though... why Saul?

I'm a Great Dane person myself. The problem with Shepherds in the USA is that unless you go to a known breeder with some credentials, you never know what you'll end up with. A friend of mine went thru the local paper that stated "mother is on premisis". The pup's mother was a large and impressive dog with near perfect looks. The pup grew up and looked somewhat runtish with a greasy looking coat. Friendly dog but hardly worth the $450 bucks they shelled out for a pedigree.

mad patriot,

No particular reason for Saul...just like it because it sounds like a dog that will strike fear in the heart of strangers and that matches his looks.
