German Shepherd And City Living

[RottPerth]

I had a GS for almost 16 years and lived in everything from a 1/4 acre block to a tiny courtyard villa. She was a very happy dog, walked daily, loved playing fetch and swimming at the beach. I had 3 others dogs during her lifetime and she was happy being around them. She never had exposure to kids and yet at ag 6 when she first interacted with some she was great, really gentle. She liked digging so maybe a digging pit would be a good idea. They love being around their people so she was always with me, inside or out. Great dog, I love the breed and think there's no reason not to have one in suburbia as long as you're committed to giving it what it needs and putting up with a few trenches in the garden

I have one on the lower energy side of the scale . He is happy with a walk, some fun training and being able to play with my other dogs. He would cope with less training than he gets - it is more for me than him I think ;)
