Do German Shepherds Smell?

December 1, 2020 by Josh

Nobody wants a stinky pet running amok in the house. Besides being unpleasant, it can cause issues for you if it’s a big dog like a German Shepherd who can’t help but accidentally touch things as he walks on by — or worse, if you haven’t taught your dog to not jump on you and […]

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.
