Dark Sable GSD - Page 3

Schone Stadt German Shepherds - European Working lines

That is where I got my black sable GSD, Iorek (out of Ali/Elsa "T" litter-I believe there will be a repeat breeding sometime this spring), and I couldn't be happier with his looks/temperament! He is *super* confident and up until a couple months ago loved everyone he came into contact with. He is starting to be a little more "watchful" of people, but since he is from DDR lines I am going to assume it will be approximately 3-5 years before he is truly "protective" of anyone. He is not "super high drive" but not really low drive either, so somewhere in the middle!

Plus, his breeder(s) are very nice people, easy to talk to, and when I was indecisive about which litter/puppy to go with they helped me out big time! IMO I ended up with the perfect puppy for me and couldn't be happier with how he is developing, both in schutzhund training, and it doesn't hurt that he is easy on the eyes as well!

It also helps that they have such nice dogs!

Ive never owned a GSD but i have heard they are a pretty around good dog if u buy one from the right breeder.

A lot of GSDs do tend to be go-go-go type dogs. You need to be really clear with your breeder about what you're looking for.

Really so they are pretty hyper huh?

onyx'girl · 03-09-2012, 05:40 PM

They aren't hyper, but a working breed that likes to stay active. They need to keep their mind active because of their intelligence. Body exercise is important too to have a well balance.

they need to have a off/on switch. If you don't walk them for 2 days they shouldn't be tearing up your house either. Nor should you walk them for over a hour and when you get home they can't settle down and are constantly moving. No bueno, IMO.

If you've got the time, here's a great read regarding alpinek9, Hans, and the way he runs his business.
