November 25, 2020 by Josh

Poop is a funny thing. When you add a picky to poop German Shepherd to the mix, it gets even funnier. Why? Because if you’ve been around the breed for as long as I have, there is one thing you know with certainty, and it’s that they tend to be the pickiest of poopers. It’s […]

How do I Make My German Shepherd Less Aggressive?

November 19, 2020 by Josh

Nobody wants an aggressive dog. And, even less desirable, is an aggressive German Shepherd who can seriously hurt whatever he’s aggressive towards. These dogs are powerful animals with incredible bite pressure, speed, and agility, which are just a few of the reasons why they’re commonly used in police K9 units. We’ve personally been on both […]

How Do I Rescue A German Shepherd?

September 25, 2020 by Josh

Adopting an animal that needs a home is a noble thing to do. To understand the simple fact that there are so many homeless dogs, cats, and other pet-worthy animals out there and want to help out is a great thing. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start and how to find the […]

When Will My German Shepherd’s Ears Stand Up?

September 19, 2020 by Josh

We’re on our third German Shepherd and have more experience with ears standing up, or not, than most GSD parents do simply because one of our dogs was a mess. Our first purebred GSD, named Jumbo because, well, he was very large, didn’t have ears that would stand up. He was an adult when we […]

About

Hey there, my name is Josh and I’m the owner of this blog. I’ve been a German Shepherd owner/parent for almost two decades with a few different dogs. I love the breed, and decided to start the blog after the latest puppy we just brought home has reminded us once again just how much fun raising a GSD pup can be. We currently have two GSDs living with us, and to me they’re the best breed of dog. I hope you find the information and my experience raising German Shepherds useful.
