How Many GSDs/Dogs Do You Have - Page 1

I am curious how many GSDs you have, what ages they are,  and what you do with them, just pets, sport, show?
Also if you have other dogs... And how many
Stacy

At one point, I had 4 gsd's, unfortunately old age sets in, it's heartbreaking for sure,,I did agility (one was ranked #4 in the us in akc and a rescue to boot:)  ,,obedience, herding,

Right now I have 1 gsd, 2 years old slovak/czech/ddr girlie, who I'm working on tracking, obed, maybe rally, and loves dock diving:)   I also have 2 australian shepherds, Jynx who is 10, agility, obed, herding, retired now, and Jag, 9, a rescue who's more my husbands' dog..Can't live without a gsd, house is rather quiet with only 3,,a male will be in the future:)

Just 2, males, working lines. 3.5yrs and 16mos. Baden trains/trials in PSA, the younger Faust I just try not to kill when he annoys me. Someday I'll get around to putting some OB on Faust and working more searches with him. He's just a slow maturer, quite the goof and always up my butt when I turn around.

6 year old female GSD "Kenya", west German working lines - she was my first dog, she came to me as a UKC champion with some agility training.  I've done a lot of random stuff with her - obedience, agility, rally, CGC, Dog Sport obedience (like Schutzhund), some SchH obedience, herding test, therapy dog classes...you name it, we've tried nearly everything but bitework (she's a softy).

3 year old rescue mutt "Coke" - second dog, got mostly for my husband since my first GSD ignores him.  He is our "pet dog", low energy, no drive, happy to warm the couch and the bed.  He's one of a kind, my heartdog.

20 month old GSD "Nikon", west German show lines - got Nikon at 8 weeks, he does conformation (SG2 and nearly UKC Champion), Schutzhund (trying a BH this weekend, SchH1 this fall), agility (started formal training last month, first trial is July), rally, dock diving, and lure coursing.  Once he fully matures and I get the final x-rays done I hope to try weight pull.  Schutzhund and Dog Sport are our priorities but I don't limit myself.


I'm also loosely shopping for a west German working line puppy...

i own 2 gsd's and co own 2 others ( 1 gsd 1 rottweiler) the 2 i own ..1 is a male named billy ''bob'' who has just turned 3 ...1 female named sasha the mother to billy and shes 6 and my co owned dogs ae little demon ( i did keep him at my house but now he lives with a freind) hes roughly 16 weeks old and hecktor the rottie hes coming up to 8 years old he was a PPD but now just lives his life out with my dad if i was not going into the army i would buy a DDR male for PPW

Nice! Love hearing about everyone's dogs and what they do with them :-) Looking forward to hearing more!

(4pack, do you feel like you're gonna go into labor today?)

Also I don't mind seeing pictures of everyone's dogs, i post enough of mine

 

We have one, Echo.  She is from showlines and will be 20mo on the 30th.  We are tracking, getting ready for her BH & AD, doing some bitework.  She received her SG rating under J. Grewe @ 14mo and her Herding Instinct Test certificate in April.  She is the 2nd GSD I have had the pleasure of owing.  My husband has owned 7 in his lifetime.  If I could get away with it I would have several...thankfully my husband has more sense and forbids it.   

I've got 4 total.There are 3 GSDs - one 7 year old female "Ulla", combo of German show and working. I did show her in AKC confirmation - she did well, surprisingly enough. Now she's the head of the household since I had to PTS my 10 year old girl last year. She's very sweet but can be a bitch- can't do ScH with her cos' she's waaaay too civil. The next is my "baby" boy -"Nicholaus" - he just turned 3 and , 4Pack, like your boy, is a big ole' geek. He's been very very slow to mature but seems to be FINALLY coming into his own. He's huge too (110 lbs) - is from very old DDR/patrol dogs line. Right now he has a CGC but I'm going to put him on the sheep in fall (when the weather cools off a bit). I'll probably also do tracking and OB but not the bitework. He had some very unfortunate experiences with helpers and has a panic attack when he hears the whip. But as a farm dog and out in public he's just great. GSD #3 is my pup - well, she's a young dog now. "Essa" is 18 months, from good strong working and police dog lines. She is on the small side (I call her my pocket rocket) but very high drive, loves to work-will do anything I throw at her. We already have our first herding title, she's prepping for her CGC, and, in the fall, start working towards her BH and then a Sch I , as well as her next herding title. She is a very funny little dog, with a very expressive face. She is very very different than any of my other GSDs, past and present. I'll be doing prelimns soon and keeping my fingers crossed that they come out good.  Dog #4 is my husband's truck dog, a 5 year old female - "Nikki" travels in the big rig with my driver hubby. She has seen every state except Alaska and Hawaii, and been to Canada. As close as I can figure she's some sort of rottie/aussie mix.  We call her a Louisana Ditch Dog - he literally was handed her at a truck stop in LA. She is the happiest dog I have ever met - always has a smile and that tail going....Right now she's been home with the family and is loving every minute of it.

Staci, I actually went into labor the other night. Sat, I thought I'd have a fathers day baby, but I went to bed and everything haulted. Guess it was false? Typical male, starting crap he can't finish. Once things started rolling with my daughter, it just kept coming.

I'll look for some newer pics of the dogs.

Two dogs, one GSD long coated rescue and a Shiloh rescue, both certified therapy dogs. We do weekly visits at a local rehab/ nursing home.  Nothing as exciting or accomplished as many here, but we love what we do.
