Doberman And German Shepherd

[Skye GSD]

I am now on to my 5th GS and altho looked at other breeds b4 getting this pup I just could not go past the temperament of the GSD.

The last 3 that I have had (all bitches) were obedience trained in a club environment for the first three years of their lives and I could take them anywhere.

My 1st GS was a male and due to the fact that I had not started my family, he was my "baby" - BIG mistake. He was fantastic with the children when they did come but due to not socializing him as a youngster he was a horror with other dogs. I totally take responsibility for that and hence the learning curve that came with it.

My advice if you decide to go the GS route is to get a bitch puppy and join your local GSD Club.

My GSD's were the most loving and loyal companions - my new girl has big shoes to fill but know she will get there.
