Smile Hello from Indiana!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kacy and I am a Vet Assistant in Indiana. I currently own a Blue Merle Australian Shepherd named Jasper. I decided to join this forum to learn as much about German Shepherds as I can before I own one myself. I want to be fully prepared (or as much as I can be) before I have another dog entering my life. I am looking to get a GSD in the next year or so. I want to give my current dog some time to mature and grow up before adding another dog. I hope to learn a lot here!

I was wondering if a show line or Working line would be best for me. My Aussie is a working line and I LOVE his drive. We exercise for at least 4 hours a day on weekdays and more on the weekends. Would that be enough for a working line GSD?

Welcome! I'm also trying to soak up as much info as possible before my first GSD (of my own) and this is the right place for it.

Welcome!!

I think your daily work would be great for a working line GSD. Our working line GSD would love to work out that much, but between work, school and schedules we don't

Default Hello from Indiana!

Wow, I am impressed that you get 4 hours of exercise a day with your pooch. Perfect for a working line GSD. Too bad you are so far away I would send Fiona out with you for an hour.

Welcome! Do you do agility with your Aussie? I'll be in Southern Indiana on April 6-7 in Floyd's Knob for a CPE trail there.
