i never knew a dog that had to have his nose in everything that goes on....... for example...

my kids got a trampoline a pretty big one given to them and on the first day they play with it sabre circles it looking for a way on....finally deciding the only way is to go for it he proceeds to jump on to it knocking over both kids in the process.... then much to my dismay i have to go out get him down coz although he jumped up its much easier to whine for mum to come get you down!!

Having been blessed in years past with shelties and huskies, Scout is my first GSD. He suprises me with the following:

-his pouting when he thinks I should be playing with him [always]
-his following me around everywhere the minute I get home from work usuall started with a hug from him
-that a 85lb GSD can be so gentle
-that if the wife and i dont go to bed by 10:30, he looks at us in disgust and heads of to his kennel by himself
-that my 9 yr old son and scout could be such buddies
-that he is the nosiest creature ever
-that he lets me do anything and everything even if he doesnt like it cause he understands that I am the alpha
-that he sheds a full dogs worth of fur in a month

-that he has started to eat poo..

-that i really didn't want an inside dog this time, but could not imagine him not being in the house now

I don't think that they all hate cats. They have a strong prey drive and might like to chase cats. I have five cats and my GSD loves them and they love her. I've been looking at GSD's in rescues and most of them are fine with cats too. I want another one down the road, but it has to be good with cats...there is no other option.

I agree with the prey drive. I had a cat, a special cat. Every once in a while you get a special animal whatever species. Barnabas was that. My older cat wouldn't accept him as a kitten so he played with my full grown GSD. He decided he loved dogs. I had 3 GSDS at one point and you have never seen pack action until you have 3. They wanted to chase but Barnabas would just sit down and stare at them and they would walk away. He was no fun. hehe

i didn't know how i would miss each one of them when they crossed the bridge.

How hard their bones are. My bruises defy any other explanation.
