    Are German Shepherds cuddly?

    They are subtle demonstrating love and one of these demonstrations are shown when they are chilled hanging out in the same place of humans or other animals My gsd and this border collie never cuddled or played much but today the collie's owner was leaving with her when I was arriving and my gsd...

    Tackling the pup holding a coconut

    I talked to Andre about how I wanted to post Laika's videos here but without spamming the board; he said it was ok to keep a topic for this purpose but if anyone doesn't agree with it, please do say

    Highlight GSDHQ: 2025 Community Highlights

    Lol I loved my award When I picked my gsd I was decided to give her a life that was as social and as free she could get and I didn't have much support in my first gsd community, had to learn many things by myself and so far I am sure she had lots of fun

    That was not during the midnights firework yet, just random fireworks I was talking funny to her after a small fireworks session so she was probably thinking "is he an idiot? We are under attack why is he trying to be funny, I am working here ffs"

    Are German Shepherds cuddly?

    I took mine because I needed a dog that would push me get out more and bring me challenges that I needed to face instead of a sweet cuddly dog so in a way you are right but still there are moments she makes my eyes watery; there are many deep loving moments between us but they are more like war...

    Fights

    First of all this thread is NOT about dog rings, the objective is to enhance our experience in dog conflicts when they accidentally happen Yesterday I was in the park with a friends little brother, they also have a gsd and at first he was on the leash cause he was agitated and there were more...

    How you came to love the breed?

    This story got me emotional (many dog stories do but well) because of the way you really fought to keep her enduring every struggle shown in your way I got mine because my spirit needed to be guided by a dog with the gsd characteristics; at first I wanted one from German (brazilian kennel) but...

    Need Some Reassurance and Advice

    I live in an appartment and people overestimate how hard it is to have a gsd in an appartment. They do have lots of energy but, specially if you have a place to let them run, tug of war, play with other dogs, fetch, etc, like a dog park, their energy goes down fast because of how explosive and...
