Our Pretty Princess - Page 1

I've put so many pictures of Chaos on here, I haven't put any of our others on here.  I think they are all feeling neglected, lol.  This is our pretty Princess.  She's 7 years old.  She has never been stacked in her life and put up a hell of a fight when I tried over and over with her, lol.  So when she sat down I snapped the picture.  She is both German and American lines.  We found out when she was 2 years old that she has hip dysplasia.  We didn't plan on using her for breeding anyway, we had her spayed at 6 months old.  We did how ever get another puppy from the breeder because of her guarantee.  That's how we ended up with our white shepherd, Bree.

You own a white shepherd!

My big white boy passed away back in January, 
everyone at obedience class loved him, he was so 
personable.

I got him went he was 16 weeks old, cause I had just 
had my son, and wanted to drive down with my husband
to pick him up, my husband said "That's a puppy!"

Kane lived to be 11 years old, he got his therapy dog, but I was working and 
raising 7 kids at the time, so we didn't do too much, therapy.
Can I see a pic of Bree?

Sure ya can : - }  Bree is 5 years old now.  The head shot is of her at Christmas one year.  She had her Christmas collar on, lol.  Then the next is of a young man {Cody} and Bree at our local dog walk.  He entered her in the dress up contest.  This picture is very special to me, as Cody died a year ago, this past labor day.    Cody had joined the freshmen golf team last year.  He was a awesome golfer.  He had just finished her first ever high school golf tournament and won it!  The coach dropped him off at home after they were all done.  He even called his step dad and said that Cody was home safe and sound.  Cody and some neighborhood kids were messing around out in his back yard.  His friends told him to hit a clothes line pole with his golf club.  Cody did!  His golf club broke in half and came around the pole, right in to his jugular vein!  He bled to death before they could get him to the hospital.  Cody was 15 years old.  Sorry to bring everyone down who reads this : - {  All I want to say about this, is PLEASE tell your children to think about the concequences next time they decide to do something like Cody did.  You never know when a freak accident is going to happen.  Ok, now that I got that out, here are the pictures of Bree and Cody.  Thanks for letting me vent by the way!

mirasmom, do you have more pictures of your white shepherd?  Would love to see them.

SW, very sad story.  So sorry to hear that.

Nice pics.

shepherdwoman---that is awful! I am constantly warning my kids, & teenage nephews, couisons...about things like that, they never know what could happen....I will tell them about freak accidents, and how quick things they think are Ok can go wrong....they all think im paranoid- and i get told i watch TV or read to much weird stuff....but i tell them anyway....

Thanks all.  iluvmyGSD, show your kids etc. this story and let them know that you never do know what's going to happen.  Who would have thought that a golf club would bend around and snap like it did?  I never would have.  Friends didn't believe it until they read it in the paper a day later.

Oh, my how tragic. I can't imagine what an impact that had on  you and  your family.

How horrible.  I'm so sorry. Was Cody your son, neighbor?

Shepherd Women, that's a tragic story, such a freak accident, 
that's something you wouldn't of thought of.

Very sorry to hear........
