Blocky Head - Page 1

Love our 9 month old male's blocky head. Here he is pictured by himself and then next to our 8 yr old female. Let's see some pics of gsds with those big blocky heads!

This is what you call blocky head. Milan is 9 weeks old on the picture.

 

 

 

Still miss this guy! [sigh]

Sunny, he's gorgeous! When did you have him?

Joan, he was a rescue. He belonged to a neighbour of my mom's in Quebec, and the guy didn't feel he was a good enough watch dog and said he was going to shoot him if no one would take him. My elderly 14 year old female was going downhill fast, so I decided to adopt him. He was smart as a whip, and became my first hearing ear dog.

Had to euthanize him 2 years ago at the age of 14, because he was having so much trouble walking. Here's his tribute thread: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/community.read?post=862489-its-time

Be sure to read the full story on Pg. 2, which explains why he meant so much to me.

Awhh. Good for him you got him. 14 years is a full life fr any breed. Heck, I'm not able to walk as good as I could even five years ago....aging takes it away from the best of us.

Sunny! I remember seeing that thred, passed it up because I knew what it was....I lost my 16 year old Irish Terrier about the same time....can't do it.

Which is why I suggest you read page 2, which talks about his training...  

The book I bought on teaching hearing ear dogs talked about performing an exercise 100 times to proof it. They obviously didn't know German shepherds! 

I will read tomorrow. Its late.
He was lucky and you too.

How about the 6 months old female head ?
