An absolute beauty. That's the kind of look I like. Big boned and a lovely head. Don't rush to get another just yet. I'd wait at least a year.
Best wishes.

Another silly question. Bears dad has SG1 before his name! whats that?

Dave and Carole you are spot on. This guy is really handsome - beautiful face. Don't be in a hurry to get another one. Enjoy him and let him teach you about his breed.They are such awesome dogs - they're like potato chips - you can't have just one!! But all kidding aside, let him enjoy his puppyhood with your undivided attention. Remember too that although he may look big or even full grown he is a puppy for at least 12 months maybe more as show lines mature later.
Have fun - he's a keeper

dave...yu are so correct.once yu got one yu want another,but its better not to get to obseesed or yu end uo with too many and then they dont get the attention they require or deserve.Bear carlo.SG is a german term they use in the show ringThe terms and their meanings are as follows.Adults.......VA is the highest award and this is only attainable at the SIEGER SHOW.(in each country)and all animals have to have attained working qualifications(SCH3)it means excellent select.then it is followed by V rating meaning Excellent.Then SG(sehr gut)meaning very good,then G(gut)meaning good.then there is satisfactory and then unsatisfactory.in young animals 12-18,and 18-24 months the grading awards are SG,followed by g etc as in adults.the no.after the letters determine the placing.......ie.SG1 in an age class(12-18)denotes 1st place in the class.in an adult class the animal would be behind the VA,S AND THE V,S.i hope my explanation hasnt confused yu and if i,ve made a mistake,someone will be hot on my heels to rectify it.good luck with your lad.he looks really nice.Carole S.

He's a good looking boy.  His breeding should not disapoint you.

As far as getting a second dog, I'd recommend a female, and even at that, I'd wait until your boy is closer to the 2 year mark. He'll be trained and should be of help as a "mentor" and role model to the new arrival.

Two puppies is a lot of demand on your time.
