A young man I occasionally run into at the local dollar store, who noticed my dogs sitting in the back seat of my car when I run in for something, told me about a month ago he has his first German Shepherd. Two days ago I was in the store and he hunted me down in the aisles. Conversation went like this:

Him: "M'am, what do I do about my German Shepherd shedding so much?"

Me: "Buy a Dyson."

Him: "But seriously, I mean he sheds all the time."

Me: "Yes, they do. I am serious. Use the Dyson about three times a day. Swifters are helpful in between vacuuming."

Him: "I give him fish oil. Will that help?"

Me: "It will make nice, shiny fuzz to continuously vacuum or Swifter up."

Him: "I had no clue they shed this much."

Me: "And oh, on top of it, if you don't know what the term blow a coat is, you will as soon as you see it."

Sick, but I grinned half the way home.

That's funny, but I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when getting my first German Shepherd Dog, Riley, or should I say German Shedder? Anyways here is I guess a GSD Funny, but also a pet peeve of mine.

Guy: Awww, you're dog is so cute. What breed is he?

Me: SHE is a German Shepherd Dog.

Guy: He's a very pretty German Shepherd. What's his name?

Me: Thank you, SHE is a very pretty girl. HER name is Riley.

Guy: He is so sweet! I can't get over how well behaved he is.

Me: SHE is very sweet, and took awhile to get HER to behave this good.

Guy: Well you're doing a good job with him. Oh wait, is it a girl? I just noticed the pink collar.

Me: Yes, she's a female.

Guy: Oh, well have a nice day. I really love your dog. She's so cute.


I can't stand it when people do that. You say yeah, SHE is very cute. Then the person turns around and keeps calling her a he, when you're trying to tell them the nicest way possible that she is she and not he. I don't even know where he got the "fact" that she was he, when Riley clearly has a femine face. Yes people, Riley is in FACT A FEMALE!

That has never really bothered me. I understand where people are coming from because I do it too lol I see a little, white, fluff dog and I think "girl". Funny story on that though. I was walking Sasha and my grandma's two poodles. One is a girl poodle named Baby and one is a boy poodle named Chance. This guy comes up to me and asks if he can pet them. I tell him that's fine, and then he asks what their names are. I tell him their names are Sasha, Baby and Chance. He looks right at Sasha and goes, "Oh Chance you're such a good boy." I kinda smirked and I was like, "Actually that one's Sasha. Chance is the little white guy." The guy was so embarrassed it was funny. It was really funny to me because Chance is sooooo boy. He likes to strut his stuff and all that. When we were on the walk (quite possibly the first walk of his life even though he's been alive for about 6 years) he was so happy, but was determined to lead the pack. Sasha, believing herself to be the true leader, made sure she kept just a step or two ahead. It was really funny watching his short little legs try to move quicker than hers lol.

Ahahaha!!! I've had two huskies and. A gsd/husky/collie mix all blowing coat in my house. Koshka wont be able to match that in terms of flying.h fur.

I took my 16 week old boy to a puppy play class last week that one of his female litter mates also attends. They look almost identical. So much that even I mistook his sister for him once as they were running around playing. We were playing "pass the puppy" and a woman shouted, "How the heck do you tell your dogs apart?"

I paused for a moment and said, "Well, mine has a penis." The woman turned bright red and the entire class started cracking up. I laughed about it for days.

Throw in the term "bi-annual" to the coat blowing and you can really confound them! : ) Along with GSDs, we've had Alaskan Malamutes and Huskies. When they blow coat they can cover acres with their fur; kind of scary actually!

Once when I was walking my first GSD Saron, a young boy about 11ish looked at him and seriously asked me, " Is that an English Bulldog?" LOL

That's funny! It does bother me though, lol! Like when somebody spells Shepherd Sheppard...Just...Wow. I know I make spelling mistakes, but I can't stand it when they do that, and they breed them. Just...WOW!

That's when you can lift up your couch, scrunch all the hair together in a ball, put eyes on it and have a whole new animal.

My vet and my past vet spelled shepherd wrong. I don't understand why or where the word shep(h)ard even came from when it is a herding breed. Onyx's 'breeder' also spelled it with an A. Red flag waving bigtime!
