Everybody has one. - Page 1

Anybody that has a GSD has a ton of funny stories related to their dog, and if you have WL GSD's then you have a ton, and probably a list of nicknames for your dog that other's wouldn't find so flattering even though we say them with love.  So what is everybody's favorite funny story about your dog/dogs, feel free to include the nicknames or things you have said enough times that it inadvertently became a command.

We call our GSD Klaus but he know more as Monster................... Klaus figured out that Dad cutting Roast is a good time to make a distraction and trying for the prize I caught him with a whole roast in his mouth trying to swallow it, after he knocked over the fan and scared my danes.......... 

We also get while we are out and about, "Is that a mini shepherd?"  to this day I have never seen a Mini GSD   But I think his Sable color and serious look has something to do with people thinking that he is full grown.

LOL. Let me guess when you found him with the roast in  his mouth he gave you the " I don't know what you are talking about I found it right here on the floor I promise!" look? I had a similar experience My husband had NEVER seen a working line dog until we got together and he got tossed into the world of WL GSDs with no training wheels.  The first Christmas we were married we hosted Christmas dinner at our house.  I had stepped outside with my parents while waiting for everybody to show up.  Few minutes later my husband comes outside leaving Lady one of the shepherds in the house alone. He is outside for about 5 minutes when he makes the comment that he took the ham out of the oven, I immediately ask where lady is and my father starts laughing.  Of course we walk in the house to find Lady in the kitchen enjoying the Christmas ham that she just took off the counter! The hubby was mortified and the look on Lady's face was so priceless that the rest of us were laughing hysterically!! Sadly Lady had to be put down last year after 13 yrs, but her personality and antics will never  be forgotten!

This looks like a fun thread but I have a showline dog and everyone knows that all they do is lay around and look pretty so I can't participate. 

We don't think that about the dog Kieth.... We assume it's the owners that wanna sit around and look pretty.

I don't see that as amusing, I see that as lack of discipline.  My dogs learn to keep their noses off the counters, table or trash can, and I trust they'll do so, even if I'm not present.

aww come on daryle, We all learned from Gepetto it is impossible to make the "perfect" boy.  Take it from someone who is a total type A personality and over the yrs has given herself numerous ulcers being that way, sometimes you just gotta lighten up a little.  It was supposed to be a fun question. 

Keith, bout time you got the message! :'(

It's nothing new to me, Chaz: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/forum.read?mnr=132035 

 Doing a Sch2 with my  dog Axel(when he was 6) at a DVG trial. We are walking back to the retrieve on the flat from the walking stay he gets a hair up his ass and grabs a mouth full of my left pant leg and begins to yank and shake me all the way back to the Dumbbell stand as I,m holding on to my pants with the right hand to keep them up as to not shock the crowd with my ample ass I was just at the point to stop and make basic to grab a dumbbell he started tearing my pants at that point I grabbed his fur saver and gave a firm "FUSS" command... Standing there waiting to get a call to the judge and dismissed  I guess the surprised look on my face was evident when the judge told me to continue so we finished the routine and I received a score and a stern reminder of the rules of correcting your dog during a trial. The judge did also tell me the judge understood why I did it and they would of done the same thing.  

After a spectator came up and told me how much he liked my dog and said"As he ages and matures he will grow out of that behavior" My answer was " he is 6 years old how much older must he get to mature!!!"  I always loved to trial that dog.
