Hi, This is a lovely forum. We are a couple who are madly in love with our older GSD Boy called Kyo - he is now 8.5 yrs and weighs 104 lbs. We have just been joined by our lovely baby GSD called Anuk. She came direct from Germany (that's her in the picture aged 3 months). She is now 4.5 months old and is already weighing 40 lbs. I am trying to upload pics of them but still trying to figure it all out

She has taken over our lives including Kyo's

Hello and welcome! Kyo and Anuk are beautiful!

Thank you Nigel

Welcome to the forum! I'm also an expat, living in Qatar though. I have my 2.5 year old female with me here and we're expecting a GSD pup from Germany in February. Beautiful dogs you have!

Hi IggyHop,

Well we were going to be neighbours cos we were going to be transferred to Qatar but then they decided to keep my husband here. Yes my GSD's are gorgeous aren't day?

Kyo is getting on though poor boy - he'd had rather a traumatic life (he's been operated on for gastric torsion - we nearly lost him then) and a year later he somehow ate a washcloth and he had 10" of his main intestine cut off, so although he's only 8.5 years old, he is acting more and more like an old dog!! We thought getting Anuk would make him play and get young again, but although he really loves her, he doesn't seem to have the energy to chase around after her

He does chase after balls though - all the time!! And she has quite a job to try and catch her own ball cos he drops his to steal hers. It's all fun and games when you have two of them around - never boring !!

^^Wow, that's cool. Strange because I was offered to go to Dubai a few months a go, but decided against it. Will be in Abu Dhabi next month though. Kyo sounds like he had a rough time! I love watching dogs try to deceive each other for balls and toys

Can't wait for mine

Oh I love Abu Dhabi - lived there for 2.5 years before transferring to Dubai where we've been for 4 years now

Never been there either. I'm fairly new to all this. I've lived in Doha for 18 months now, but haven't really gotten around this area.
