My thoughts exactly. Sure, the other owner was dumb. But you had enough clues to avoid this. Flex lead? Harness? "STAYYYY?" When I see this I give them wide berth, problem solved.

Awesome looking dog. The floppy ears give him a cool, laid-back look. I'd choose for him a tie-dyed scarf rather than the studded white leather collar for everyday wear, save the studded collar for...

So sorry to hear this.

I wonder if it wasn't a blessing in disguise. A sire prone to that type of violence against multiple pups just isn't right. I too question whether he should have been bred....

I suggest you read a lot about GSD body language. You need to be able to pick up the signals accurately so you know what your dog is thinking. It is not hard, just Google it and YouTube...

I suspect she picked up on your hesitance/reluctance/weakness about giving a bath (why treat her for that?) and now is "feeling her oats."

Ignore her (no food either) until she comes to you, on...

Dachsunds, Rat Terriers, Beagles and their devil spawn mixes. I dislike mongrel dogs that are small, stupid, smelly, with big barrel bodies and skinny little legs.

However, a month ago or so she was sick and threw up on...
