My first GSD that is personally mine, is Cody.
I looked at the standard for the GSD in 02'(I was 13) and new that my parents had a GSD named Brandy when I was a baby. I also looked at other breeds like the doberman, pitbull, and malinois, I seemed to be attracted to guard breeds, lol. I seemed to be more attracted to the shepherd and read about them in books, I realized then I was destined to get a shepherd so I looked in the newspaper and found an ad that said GSD puppies. We called her up and took Cody home June 21st 2003. That summer was the best summer ever, it was nice to spend 3 months with Cody before school started, we went to the beach, camping, you name it. Now that I'm almost 21 and he's almost 7, we're still having a blast. He is a wonderful dog and so loyal to me, he loves to snuggle and just do about anything if it envloves me.
I will be devistated when his time comes....
