Hello all,
I have been GSDless for two years and about to pick up my new pup. She will be raised as a farm and family dog mainly. My daughter is almost 8 and this pup will be hers with my guidance in the training department.
I was involved in Schutzhund and training for about 10 years, and due to life happenings, was absent for about 12 years or so. I am not sure I will be able to participate again but found this forum as part of my research and will be keeping up here.
We are getting a dark sable female and picking her up at the end of this month from Marienhof Kennel here in Florida.

Pup looks adorable! Welcome back! This board has it's crack-pots, but in general it's members are good folks who share a wealth of knowledge about GSDs. It's easy to navigate, & there's always something interesting to read. Many of us feel like old friends, & we try to be helpful & support each other through the good times, the difficult times, the bad & the sad times. We love to share our successes & our brags; but we're happy to try to help with problems.
If you've been lurking you probably already have a good idea of whom to trust.....& who to take with a grain of salt, LOL!
Anyway, good luck! And welcome aboard!

Good timing and good luck. My 6 year old's experience thus far with our now 9 mos old pup has been positive.
I firmly believe responsible dog ownership enhances child development.
In my opinion, there is no greater job for a WL dog to be a stable, loyal family companion and protector first.
Sure, titling and sports are cool but a dog with sound character and health is a reflection of its owner/family.

Welcome back :-)

Thank-you for the welcome.
It has been a long two years without a GSD in my household. My last pup (that I bred) died from age/seizures (had to euth). He was around 14 I think. The first time in about 30 years that I have not had a GSD of some sort around and I have really missed them.
There are a couple of clubs that are near enough I can go visit and/or become active if I have the oppurtunity.
I have been reading around this site and catching up and will continue to do so.
Looking forward to making new 'dog' friends.
