She says my buddy looks like a sheep

MN GSD Fan · 12-26-2012, 10:00 PM

So my fiance thinks me new little buddy Bentley looks like a sheep because he has a skinny little head/body and his ears aren't up. He is only 9 weeks old so I keep telling her he will grow into a handsome boy like his dad was. His mom was on the smaller side, but dad was about 90 lbs with a nice full head/body. Do you think my little buddy will fill out and raise those ears some day or am I going to have to defend him until he is old and gray?

He's only 9 weeks old, he has ALOT of growing left to do!

He's a very very handsome little man too.

He still looks really young! And he does not have a tiny head! Haha he's cute and I'm sure his ears will raise... I got Keira at 11 weeks and her ears didn't raise until a week or so after we brought her home. For a few days only one ear was raised...

Ummm 9 weeks old..... he's gonna look pretty gangly and funky for a while. He'll fill out around the time he's 2-3 years. Give the guy a break! Its hard growing into a handsome head turner! Gotta start somewhere! Enjoy the cute puppy stage.

Handsome little bugger u got there! looks quite big for a 9 week old pup!

Yeah that's what I told her. She is used to our 9 year old GSD who is a big beautiful girl and has never had a GSD as a puppy. I think he'll get those ears up and fill out someday so if she thinks he looks like a sheep until then I'll back him up haha.

From a little lam to a full sized shepherd. Yes he will be a big boy some day. And don't worry about those ears. Enjoy his puppy hood!

Haha thats a good way to put it. I'll have to tell her that one

She even has me thinking he looks a little bit like a sheep, but I'll cross my fingers that he grows up to be handsome boy and then we'll see what she says. Either way he's gonna be our buddy though!

A sheep, huh? Don't know about that, but he sure is cute.

Yes he is cute. Don't worry about his ears. They'll stand up soon.

And he doesn't look like a sheep!
