Mine is the same way. My mixed dog (hes like 60% sled breed) will just walk away sniffing and forget I exist LOL. I love them both of course! But there is something special about the way a shepherd loves their people. Oh, and she also has to check in on her little brother! Always make sure hes...

This can all be very true. They are a ton of work! To me they are almost the perfect breed. But to answer the main question, mine is extremely affectionate!! I will say that she does not cuddle for a long time because she gets hot, but she gives LOTS of kisses and will nuzzle my hand for pets...

I can say mine has had the opportunity to protect and in fact she did! Maybe we are just lucky.

What a great post! My girl certainly is the best kisser LOL

Ohhh its gotta be the Jollyball with the rope attached! Its a large ball, like 10 or 12 inches wide, with a rope through it. Its good for fetch and tug. My girl loves it.

Thank you, yeah I was thinking 36+ was abnormally long! I did measure from tailbone to chest

I always considered her legs to be abnormally long but is she also not long enough in her body? This is a picture of her standing normally. I dont know how to stack or anything.

Hi, so out of curiosity I am looking into GSD measurements and I see online that the length to height ratio ideal is 10:8.5, but the standard length is 36-42.5 and height 22-26 (encompassing both sexes). So a 22 in tall female should be 36 length? Why is that a 10:6 ratio then? My girl is larger...

I think this is a very reasonable answer

Agreed. Theres a lady online who always tries to “disprove the roach back” but her dog just doesnt look right… even when he isnt in a stack, despite her insistence. Ohmygsds is her name on FB. It makes me sad to see dogs like this because they can hardly walk by age 7. However, my shepherd isnt...

Beautiful! How old is she now?

Aww! Sounds like you got the right pup :)

I am wondering how you guys all became GSD fans! Tell me about how it all started. I want to share my story. It’ll be a bit long, sorry. 5 years ago I met the woman of my dreams in every way - except she had a big dog. I grew up with two small dogs that I didn’t have a particularly strong...

Definitely all of this! These are not dogs you can half-ass with. You have to be all in. My dogs are my entire world.

This is one of my favs too
