Just curious- are the bloodlines being corrected to reduce hip dysplasias? I understand that even some of the European/ German bloodlines have been bred more for appearance than good working characteristics.
He is just lovely. I love this breed so much. Nice to see he looks nice and strong, with a straight back.
Even on my travels in America I noticed that some breeders like to breed the GS' with a really sloped back which I can't imagine is good for them and probably promotes hip dysplasia. He looks bigger than my boy who at the time of writing is 8 months old.
I got a female German shepherd ...Now this dog is really part Akbash somewhere back there probably. Overall , the German shepherd is really a Collie crossed with a Doberman. Add in a little this and that .
@PivotB3stZ i dont care as i said i hate children but if i had a kid somehow i wouldnt have an animal that has the body to hurt even an adult right next to the kid
@Pulitara No offense but you have no idea what you're talking about here. I grew up with my German Shepherd who passed away about 2 years ago, and she would actually take naps with me as a baby. My brother's German Shepherd plays with their newly born baby quite a bit as well. German shepherds are great with kids.
@dcin1 - Lol, why would you say that when hes so obviously fit and groomed? And the owner obviously knows a ton about the breed. Puppy mill owners don't treat their dogs well. Much less give the dogs special attention and let them play with their children.
@GermanShepherdBuff lol okay look how many vids they got of GSD's its profit they parade around "full breed" dods and try and sell them for 500 plus just to profit if you love a dog why have over 100 puppies?
There is no such thing as a" long haired" GSD. Thats a big fault in the breed. Though he does not seem to be long haired, just a little plush. He is beautiful though. Nice dog
@Whodoesntloveloly - That is your opinion :) But it cant be a "fault" or flaw in the breed if world-renouned breeder seek out the long - coat characteristic. I agree with you, though, he is a gorgeous canine!
@GermanShepherdBuff It depends why they're seeking out these dogs. It may be to breed dogs which are purely pets, for their looks alone. It is believed the judging criteria are going to change to allow the long-coat to be awarded titles, but until it does these dogs are worthless for show. Show titles increase stud value. The long coat is listed as a defect in the breed standard, last time I looked.
@GermanShepherdBuff The long coat IS a breed defect and always has been. People seek breed peculiarities for a number of reasons. In the case of long coats, they are generally sought for reasons of looks over temperament. I was bitten badly by one in the centre of town 3 weeks ago. A long coat German import, it turned out that this animal has a temperament worse than Hitler's. Just think of munchkin cats if you need any further proof of what 'breeders' seek.
@Whodoesntloveloly I agree with you. Long coats are a breed defect. Judges won't award them championships or challenges, therefore they are virtually worthless to GSD breeders, except to be sold at a discounted price as pets. I have a longcoat GSD and, as beautiful as he is, I'd be the first to acknowledge that, as far as the breed standard is concerned, he's faulty :-)
Just a friendly tip, if you cut the fur away at the tip of the tail, your dog wll be able to walk with the tail hanging straight. the reason why he pulls the tail up like he does is cause it will otherwise drag in the ground. Dogs don't like that.
what a gorgeous Longcoat, i have a short hair and there is a BIG differnce..going to your website now..i am in Germany and so is my dog he is american bred but her with me...
I mean no offense in saying this, but Ash is AT MOST a plush. He is definitely NOT a longcoat. Not by a mile. Longcoat males have fur that drops down as much as a foot from their tails. The fur behind the forelegs and haunches stretches a good 6-8 inches, and the coat itself is 4-6 inches long, and extends below the belly by a good 4 inches. Ash is a nice dog, but NOWAYNOHOW is he a longcoat. Sorry.
@young95 You're incorrect. In the description you would see that he's out of coat, meaning his undercoat has been shed out. With that said, some long coats are longer than others, however he is a coated dog and when bred to another long coat produces only long coats, if he was a "plush", he would produce both and/or only "plush".
@LongcoatGSD...I've been around longcoat GSD's since long before SV lifted the restriction against them, and I own one that just completed his SchH3 trials. It strikes me that you are using your own definition of "longcoat". I sincerely applaud and appreciate your efforts to restore the breed to the way they were before they were almost destroyed by the AKC, but I think you should adjust your definition to what a longcoat actually is, rather than what you would like it to be.
@young95 A dog that is a long coat will have tufts of fur on the ears, a "mane", longer fur on the body and tail, "pants", as well as tufts of fur in between the feet. The actual length of a long coated dog will vary, but just because you don't believe an extremely long coated dog to be a true coat, two long coated dogs of all variations will always produce as such and with variations as to length, but will never appear to be a "plush" or "short", which do not have tufts nor fringe.
@LongcoatGSD.....Sir, over the years I have seen all manner of variations in what some people call "longcoats".....very few of which possess ALL of the characteristics of a longcoat GSD. Simply having ear tufts and paw fur does NOT qualify a dog as a longcoat! With SV now recognizing the longcoat, my guess is that what we are discussing here will be sorted out, with longcoats with ALL the characteristics becoming the unofficial standard.
@young95 LOL well I'm not a "sir" , I have birthed four children. In any event, here is a picture of Ash in coat (remove spaces) - pioneergermanshepherds . com/ashmarch2009.jpg
compare him to my friend's dog, who is a plush (remove spaces) - daiquirisdogs . com/Curtis.html
If you feel these dogs are the same, texture-wise, I do not there is anything more that can be said.
@LongcoatGSD Sorry about the gender mis-identification. TECHNICALLY, you are correct. The AAH (Arbeitsgemeinschaft zur Zucht Altdeutscher Hütehunde) is the body that was founded to preserve the dogs that were excluded when Max von Stephanitz developed the GSD breed standard. Since those dogs are all over the place with coat length, even the types of coat, I guess I have to acknowledge that you are TECHNICALLY correct in claiming your dogs as longcoats.
@Ethooo1993, calling this dog a "longcoat", as compared to generally accepted appearance characteristics for Longcoat GSD's is, at best, only TECHNICALLY correct. Just as saying that a piper cub and an F-22 Raptor are both technically airplanes, and a Chevy Nova and a Lamborghini Countach are both technically cars. Yes, they share a few characteristics, but I think if you could see a full-fledged Longcoat GSD, the differences would become very obvious to even a casual observer.
@Ethooo1993, let me add this. As for my qualifications to speak, I presently own a true Longcoat GSD which recently achieved both his ScH3 and his AD (endurance) certs. And I have seen quite a few of these dogs over the years. But the best authority on the subject is Horst Hegewald-Kawich, who wrote book in the 90's which debunked the myth that Longcoat GSD's did not have undercoats. Much of the credit for SV removing longcoat as a fault goes to him.
@LongcoatGSD - I must agree with you. I trust the owner, not some random people who know about the breed. If anyone knows what coat the dog has, it will be the owner.
@LongcoatGSD Lol, all I know is that my dog has longer hair than both of these dogs, and her REGISTERED form says that she is a "plush". Whether she is a plush or longcoat is irrelevant to me, she's a full bread German Shepherd is good enough for me.
@LongcoatGSD Excuse me, but if he's a long-coat, he has no undercoat. That's why long-coats have never had show value to GSD breeders: the breed standard clearly describes a double coat. The long-coat's covering is a single coat. Exact length and placement of hair has nothing to do with anything - it's whether or not there's a double coat.
Yeah- I grew up with a 100lb male GSD. He actually used to herd me and my brother around, keep us out of the street, and let us climb all over him.
He was aggressive towards other dogs, and has chased strangers out of our house before, but as long as you raise them with kids and treat them right, shepherds can be well behaved with children. While some dogs may be untrustworthy due to specific temperament or raising, often having a good GSD in the house can be better than a human helper.
letting a baby near any dog is very dangerous some people are very foolish he is a great dog though, I have a westie an I wouldnt even let him near a baby.
wait to your not there and that dog nips your child by mistake. wont you feel a twat. Its always the yanks as well. so.. how do you say... thoughtless
lov it wen german shepherds r alert...ukno d way their ears raise. theyr so cautious. my german shep. is so cautious dat she literally attempts 2 catch d rain wen it falls. wich itink is weird..she also hops like a kangaroo..totally weird i say
What a fantastic dog! I have a long-haired female GSD named Zoe who is 3. She and my 7-month-old daughter get along really well. My daughter can't crawl around like that quite yet though.
At the end Ash is thinking "Just Pet me and quit messing arourd" ...very cool to see. We have a big Long Haired solid black female and she a giant baby also
That is what a true Shepherd should look like. Unfortunately most breeders create these cripples with the Shepherd front and the dachshund back... Sad really...
As anyone can see a real Shepherd like this one is an awesome dog.
wow its sooo cool to see another dog just like my pretty lola!! shes the best dog ever and i adore her... thanks for posting this vid... my grandson came home from the hospital to lola, hes 3 now and she fawns over him!
its the best german shepherd i have ever seen its luk like the wolf specially in its tail his size is perfect and good body i can c the intelligence in his eyes and he is so kind with the kids just i think he is just not easy to train him because he is brave more that enough i wish to have one like that i think its very good with good head shape also like the shiloh shepherd and his goat is so good i congratulate his owners
hey how come this one its black and brown/ash?.. I had one black and almot bright mustard with a long hairy tail like this one and thick hair around its neck like this one too, but as I siad its was black and much brighter mustar color..
hey i have 2 SHORT HAIR GS THEIR BOTH MALES ONE OF MY DOGS NAME IS IZZY NO WE ARE NOT JEWISH AND HES NOT AS BIG BUT HES ONLY 1 AND MY OTHER DOGS NAME IS JET KUZ HES REALY REALY FAST AND HE IS HUGE HE WON A PRIZE 4 TOP TEN BIGGST GS DOGS HES NUMBER 8 ALSO UR DOG LOOKS GREAT BUT ONE THING IF BUY HIM LOTS OF TOY TIE THEM TO A TREE AND LET HIN TUG ON HIS TEETH WILL GET STRONGER IM ONLY 11 I NO IT SAYS IM 18 OR 19 IM NOT SURE BUT IT WAZ AN ACCEDENT I PUT IN THE WRONG YEAR PS HE LOOKS REALLY GREAT
Awesome! I have a short coat male gsd and i am planning to buy one long coat male soon, your dog looks great, you must be taking good care of him, and by the way you have sexy voice, i luv your voice :)

Whats wrong with the dog ? He´s like a sombie, not like the gs I meet. Sweet when he kisses the kild. sorry about the spelling, hope you understand what i meen.
i had a long haired german shepard ,best dog i ever had ,he died of old age over a month ago,right in front of me,broke my heart..i have 2 short haired shepards now ,which are also beautiful. great breed..i wouldnt have any other breed of dog
Another breeder thats an example of being unethical for breeding shepherds that are far over the standards in height and weight. Pretty dogs nonetheless, but you're a irresponable breeder to breed out of the standards. Breeding for size like that is usually a secret way of having a sales pitch to sell your puppies because Americans thing the bigger the better. So many are having hip and health problems because of this, and the true Shepherd males shoudl weigh 90 lbs at the most.
I Had a shepherd named Samson..we called him "SAM". My youngest(now) is a long coat like yours (beautiful dog by the way) named RAYJOE . 119 lbs. Named him for "Joe" from Run Joe Run a favorite tv show when I was a kid. Can you belive it, I heard Hollywood is remaking it into a movie.
I LOVE GERMAN SHEAPERDS i cant believe some people think they are vicious! i cant wait till i get one! my mom had one when she was a kid it was a great dog! it was huge! when he sat he was 4 feet tall and lived to be 13 and its name was Bruno
Baby playing w/ German Shepherd was such a cute part of the video... LOL! That's what I love about German Shepherds, they really do have a lot of patience when playing with kids.
ok has any one herd of a german sheperd playing fetch with a metal bowl as in a food bowl and chase after it and bark at it lol bc there is a reson im saying this
I miss my Shepy, he was my best friend! I got him when i was 9 and he passed away the day after my 21st birthday. It's been almost three years and i'm just now thinking of getting another one.
Those dogs are great! I have one....and he is awesome....unless he doesn't know you and you get too close to me or raise your voice at me--he will rip your throat out. Very smart dog--he understands English and German better than most humans. Man's best friend. I didn't understand that saying until I owned a German Shepherd--most intelligent and BRAVE dog ever. It shows by the way yours is so gentil around your child. Nice job with your dog. Nice vid.
geman shepherds are the best dogs they are great with children i have a 95 pound male i raised with my daugter she was a baby and him a puppy she is now six him five that is his girl when she is at the house do not go around her if he does not know you he would honestly try to kill you but he is so gentle with her much respect for the breed.
Wow! I just want to say to the breeders who made this video that you guys are doing an AMAZING job with these dogs. They seem to be extremely well trained! Keep up the good work!
I have one like this but she is a King Shepherd. The are a recognized breed by the Rarities Club ,ARBA, and the King Shepherd Club.The people who actually abide by the strict breeding standards set by the King Shepherd Club produce amazing animals. They have almost none of the health problems that plague German Shepherds because of bad breeding and live 12-14 years .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
GSDs are NOT suppose to be giant sized breeds. The standard states they are a MEDIUM sized dog. Dogs like these don't live long and have more health problems. Why do you think the Irish wolfhound lives to be about 4 years? Because they're HUGE dogs... I can't understand why someone would breed pets together. If a person isn't breeding to better the breed, their should be no reason to breed. Max von stephanitz would be shamed.

I made a delivery this summer to a house in my town, nobody was home but a giant German Shepherd like this. He was on a balcony glass walls. He came up to a gap in the glass, stuck his snout through and offered me his paw! I spent a couple of minutes with this big guy and well, he was great. I have a German Shepherd/Black Labrador (my 2nd) and like GS's. The scene near the end with the child is just like my dog, same goofy temperament!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
German Shepherd Dogs aren't meant to be that big. I don't agree with this breeding. However, since you already have him, seems a nice place to raise him, lots of land - great for GSDs!
Those who say the baby shouldn't be near the dog obviously can't tell how well trained and brought up he was.
My old German Shepard who died a few months ago was very similar, mild temperered and was around about the same size.
They are truly mans best friend and are lovely when brought up correctly, and when a baby was brouyght over the dog was very protective of the baby was always around it and sat near it's side like it was it's owner!
Just curious- are the bloodlines being corrected to reduce hip dysplasias? I understand that even some of the European/ German bloodlines have been bred more for appearance than good working characteristics.

What a fantastic dog! I have a long-haired female GSD named Zoe who is 3. She and my 7-month-old daughter get along really well. My daughter can't crawl around like that quite yet though.

That is what a true Shepherd should look like. Unfortunately most breeders create these cripples with the Shepherd front and the dachshund back... Sad really...
As anyone can see a real Shepherd like this one is an awesome dog.
Thank you for sharing this video.

I had a Shep female growing up, she was THE best dog anyone could ever have.
I got her when I was 9... she died just before my 22nd B-Day.
I'd looove to get another one sumday.
I'll keep your dogs in mind whenever I'm ready for another Shep.
Beautiful Male, by the way~

I can tell you take good care of him~

IrishFella2681 3 years ago 2
Another breeder thats an example of being unethical for breeding shepherds that are far over the standards in height and weight. Pretty dogs nonetheless, but you're a irresponable breeder to breed out of the standards. Breeding for size like that is usually a secret way of having a sales pitch to sell your puppies because Americans thing the bigger the better. So many are having hip and health problems because of this, and the true Shepherd males shoudl weigh 90 lbs at the most.

Very smart dog--he understands English and German better than most humans. Man's best friend. I didn't understand that saying until I owned a German Shepherd--most intelligent and BRAVE dog ever. It shows by the way yours is so gentil around your child. Nice job with your dog. Nice vid.

I have one like this but she is a King Shepherd. The are a recognized breed by the Rarities Club ,ARBA, and the King Shepherd Club.The people who actually abide by the strict breeding standards set by the King Shepherd Club produce amazing animals. They have almost none of the health problems that plague German Shepherds because of bad breeding and live 12-14 years .

GSDs are NOT suppose to be giant sized breeds. The standard states they are a MEDIUM sized dog. Dogs like these don't live long and have more health problems. Why do you think the Irish wolfhound lives to be about 4 years? Because they're HUGE dogs... I can't understand why someone would breed pets together. If a person isn't breeding to better the breed, their should be no reason to breed. Max von stephanitz would be shamed.

I made a delivery this summer to a house in my town, nobody was home but a giant German Shepherd like this. He was on a balcony glass walls. He came up to a gap in the glass, stuck his snout through and offered me his paw! I spent a couple of minutes with this big guy and well, he was great. I have a German Shepherd/Black Labrador (my 2nd) and like GS's. The scene near the end with the child is just like my dog, same goofy temperament!

German Shepherd Dogs aren't meant to be that big. I don't agree with this breeding. However, since you already have him, seems a nice place to raise him, lots of land - great for GSDs!

Those who say the baby shouldn't be near the dog obviously can't tell how well trained and brought up he was.
My old German Shepard who died a few months ago was very similar, mild temperered and was around about the same size.
They are truly mans best friend and are lovely when brought up correctly, and when a baby was brouyght over the dog was very protective of the baby was always around it and sat near it's side like it was it's owner!
