Momentum & Highlights​

This month continued to build on the foundation laid early on:

• New friends with different perspectives and experiences
• QOTW discussions continue to level up with more activity and different prizes
  • Check out our latest QOTW sponsored by @bolderk9, a great option for toys and doggy gear (use code GSDHQ for 15% off)
• More in-depth threads around training, health, working lines, and ownership realities
• 2025 Highlights Thread to celebrate the community of 2025
• A noticeable increase in members helping other members

That last part matters most. Big thanks to everyone who continues to be helpful and welcoming

What’s Ahead​

Heading into Month 5, the focus remains clear:

• Continue experimenting with outreach and discovery
• Strengthen the culture of respectful, experience-based discussion
• Keep GSDHQ a place where both new and experienced owners feel welcome

No rush. No shortcuts. Just steady, intentional growth.
