No "issues" GSD ... how many of you have them?

[Nikitta]

Jasira is my problem child. She's 16 months old, in good health but we have issues with housebreaking yet and chewing and hyper activity. Xerxes, on the other had, is my velcro dog. Hasm't gone in the house since he was 5 months old; he's 8 months now and just a joy to be around. He's funny and sweet. I think he's getting a little to resource guarding about his yard and me but we're working on it. Day before we had our first snow which he's never seen. He kept trying to catch the flakes with his mouth. LOL he crack me up.

Spirit is 8 months and I would say he's a no-issue GSD. Others might not
agree, but I'm on easy street here

I seriously don't have anything to complain about. He does like to bark at people and things beyond our yard but it's easy to calm him. He has shown zero aggression, not even a hint, ever. Our vet has nothing but praise for him.

We don't have a physical fence so we use an invisible fence. I haven't put his collar on him in a few months, he respects his boundaries so well. Even with his ball (and he is totally ball obsessesd) -- if I throw it out of bounds, he will stop and wait for me to come get it. He's a smart dog, very easy to train and extremely easy to live with. The extreme puppy stage was tough though

He's a great dog, from great lines. As bonded as we are now, I am so looking forward to developing our bond even more in the coming years. He's a gift, without a doubt

Er, I wouldn't say that Kaiser is "issue-free", but so far I'm very impressed.

He has a stubborn yet goofy side that balances out his seriousness. He has a nice off switch (once he gets enough exercise, lol) and absolutely LOVES children and babies (yay I'm so happy!) and most dogs. The only dogs he has issues with are dominant/aggressive males. I don't like it, and I don't allow it, but in a way I don't blame him because those were the dogs who stole his favorite toys (frisbee/stick) when he was younger. Soooo now he unfortunately thinks all dominant males are out to pop his playtime bubble. We are working on that though with time outs and obedience.

He unfortunately does have the itchies, and has, for quite some time. I haven't bit the bullet to officially get him allergy tested, but we are working our way to that point. He's not chewing himself raw, but he definitely itches more than I like. And he has constant ear infections.

He does gets compliment after compliment while we are out and about, both on his healthy coat and his temperament. Even when he is having a sassy moment, most people nod in understanding when I tell them he isn't 10 months old yet.

Health-wise (aside from the itchies and ears) so far so good.

I suppose all-in-all Kaiser isn't displaying anything out of the ordinary that couldn't potentially be seen in most other breeds. From what I've seen thus far, nothing about him would turn me away from having another GSD.

Koda is a very healthy girl. No issues. I haven't had her hips/elbows x-rayed yet but her family all had good hips/elbows and so does her sister. So I'm sure she'll be fine there.
She's very mild-mannered. Never had an accident in the house (not even at six weeks when I got her), and she's 2.5 yrs now.
She did go through a leash reactive period but now she igores other dogs. The only time she acts aggressively is when she feels that Matt, one of her doggy friends or I am threatened. So she doesn't start fights anymore. She just finishes them

Over all she's great to train, very in-tuned, thrives on praise, has a good off-switch, has a goofy side that she unleashes when you tell her it's ok... I think she's a great shepherd with few to no issues

No issues here either.

One girl is 2.5 years old, the other will be 3 in January. Both are American show lines, and are shown in conformation.

They've been heavily socialized - I can take them anywhere. I can hand them over to anyone to take into the show ring, and they won't skip a beat. They both are great with kids (especially Carly, who loves loves loves them, lol).

Both were super easy to housebreak, and to train in general. In fact, easier than any breed I've ever had. They are both active and healthy!

If anything, I'd want to knock Sage's prey drive down a notch (cats, sheep... )
