Updated Photos and Info of Kai - Page 1

okay, I was not smart enough to initally put this on the GSD messageboard...
Here is Kai at 5 1/2 months. He will be 6 months this week! He has been playing in the water hose in this pic!
He loves the water hose! He actually carries it around thrashing and biting it!

Here are some pics of him dry!

And finally... the recent past... :(

think the order of photos is something like 9, 12 and 18 weeks...
BTW he is starting to get so territorial I don't know what to do! If we are outside late at night and a neighbor turns their light he'll even give a bark! Now at night, when he sleeps in his crate he will bark if he hears something outside which can be annoying. Why does he need to bark at everything?? He will bark at birds, squirrels if they come on our property!! You know how many birds and squirrels there can be a day? This is a bark that means business too, not a playful one! And he is wearing me out wanting to play fetch! O_O My husband has started hiding stuffed toys in the lower branches of the tree that are only a few feet from the ground so he can get them down so we don't have to work so much throwing for him! He has to chase everthing that moves. You can even see him wanting to chase my toddler even though he doesn't! He just follows him with his eyes and I could swear he's drooling! But he loves him! Also, he still wants to mouth like when a pup (not as bad though). I thought this would subside! He can still be diverted with a toy but still. I should add that there are a bizillion positive things about him!! And I know that all of his behaviors probably have alot to do with his drive. We DEFINITELY LOVE LOVE him and couldn't be happier with him! Thanks for checking out my baby!

very beutiful,

Thanks!

Beautiful, he looks like a very busy dog.  My last male had a really high drive.  It was a shame that we didn't have access to Agility or something similar at the time because he would have been great.  It was a challenge keeping him manageable. 

He is busy! We are going to try getting him involved in everthing we can. I wonder what makes a dog a good candidate for herding? We are going to have him start serious obedience at 9-10 months and then personal protection at 18 months. So we know we are doing those two things for sure but it doesn't have to stop there. :)

ace -  do you have any old pics of your male?

I love his earset...its perfect! Beautiful boy!

Thanks! You could see them alot better before he got all the fuzz around them. I hope the ear fuzz goes back down! lol

by the way. I can't help but be irked that everytime someone sees my dogs when I'm out they'll say something like "He's pretty! Looks like he might have some shepherd in him." or like yesterday at the pet store when this guys says "what is he?? and akita??"
