[germanshepherd435]

best dogs

[carlenem59]

Big straight back is the best , I found my best friend in the local pound! He is the best dog I have ever had!!! he is black and tan and 110 lbs, very athletic and a big sweetie. a real charmer, old fashioned is the best GSD

[MaruseaLMY]

Everybody should prefer straight back, strong and athletic GS! They're the best, and that's all their natural beauty!!!

I have 2 Royalair GS. Samantha is 11+ & is still active, still lovely, sound & sassy. Djibouti is 2. He's engaging, lively, smart, loving, sweet & funny.

TheMarymed2, it's astonishing you'd advise someone who's successfully bred these outstanding GS for several decades to 'get another breed'. Those who have these GS love 'em madly & are very, very happy that Robin didn't get another breed!

Get the GS that suits you. I did & I'm thrilled that I followed my heart & not the dictates of others.

[JacintaQuijana]

TheMarymed2, until recently size limits weren't enforced. In the beginning of the breed, size wasn't even a DQ. Historically, large, including very large GS, were titled, admired & worked.

GS have ALWAYS excelled as companions as well as working dogs. Don't simply quote Max. LOOK at the many pictures Max used showing his beloved GS watching over, attending & playing with children, other dogs, kittens & domestic fowl.

Power + Confidence often yields a Gentle Protector, ie GS like Royalair's.

they were great family pets and companions because they were not highly bred for sport.they were calmer longer lived and generally bigger! wake up you breed the drive you want to at least I do not tell people my dogs are bred to do well in SCH. Like the high drive people who tell their buyers, their dogs are great famlily pets? So I get the here the horror stories when they have to give up the dogs or put them down because that family can not handle them...read from bottom to top

[Royalairdogsrule]

where does that leave the family that wants a pet and protector. that does not bounce of the walls that does not want a sharp hard to handle dog? It leaves the shepherd with a bad reputation as being a good famliy pet, no matter what you say the shepherd was calmer , was bigger I am a pretty old women now I do remember what they used to be 30 years ago! and they were not just a shutzhund dog or a show dog

[Royalairdogsrule]

98% of all people who buy shepherds buy that dog for their family, You are as bad as the show breeders in thinking all people that want a german shepherd should do sport shutzhund or live with an intense drive because shepherds should be bred for your shutzhund or work..

[TheMarymed2]

Oh btw the GSD standard has ALWAYS had a weight limit of 88 pounds (per FCI standard if you know what the FCI is). The German Shepherd Dog isn't meant to be a family pet, it is a working dog. If your family can't handle a working dog, you shouldn't breed toned down GSDs, you should get another breed! "German Shepherd breeding is working dog breeding, or it is NOT German Shepherd breeding" Capt Amax von Stephanitz, founder of the BREED!

[TheMarymed2]

The German Shepherd Dog was NEVER "Large or X-Large" they used to be a SMALLER dog...

[teenabobeenaNY]

To Royalair, Moedog, & WorkinglineGSD, please educate me on this! One of my dogs is a GSD and from a Schutzhund line, but i am ignorant as to all the specifications of this or what it means exactly (other than "working dog"). This is the first time i read about the line being hyper/aggressive.  My girl is affectionate but she absolutely does have a serious amount of energy -- my dog trainer friend says she is a "tough girl". i find this all very interesting -- please enlighten me some more!!

[Royalairdogsrule]

Not all german line dogs are hyper most do have much higher energy levels then what I breed which is still pretty high I just don't like them to bounce of the walls, Like a hunting line dog they more working or hunting lines the higher the energy the better they are for the sport the higher the score. generally with the higher energy, most are" tougher" and need a harsher discipline too.. I like a "softer" dog my self I think they are more suited for families.

[cozaki]

all dogs are nc especially the stray dogs no matter that they are mix breeds they are the best!

[Denise3942]

Black German Shepherd are the best!!

[royschu1]

All German Shepherds are great dogs. Coat color does not matter.

[Denise3942]

@royschu1 I didn't say that there was anything wrong with other colours!! I just prefer the black ones!!!

[moedog0099]

West German bloodlines are hardly a dime a dozen. Going rate for a OFA K1 Shutzhund III with health guarentee will run about $2000.

[workinglineGSD]

If you mean a "a-normal" KKL1 SchH3/IPO3 dog, that is quite cheap. They normally can go for $30,000.

[moedog0099]

$30,000 ??? I just purchased a puppy who's father was a KKL1 SchH3 for $2500 with a hip and health gaurentee. Are you talking about a breeding female???

[workinglineGSD]

I am talking about a male or female, fixed or intact. I just saw you say "going rate for a OFA SchH3" and assumed you meant adults because pups aren't born with SchH titles :)

[moedog0099]

I was referring to the puppies bred from a Schutzhund III Sire. He is 7 months old now and is beautiful and very intelligent. In my opinion, there is no comparison to a well bred German Shepherd.

very nice blk/reds
