I noticed the sire of your pup is Nick z Jirkova dvora. How is he working out so far in terms of drives, sociability, inside the house, etc.?

Take my opinion with a grain of salt, I by no means a dog expert and don't have past experience to compare with but, overall, Neo is a dream dog

So easy to train: I've never trained a dog before & he is doing a wonderful job in both learning and showing me my own errors. He catches super fast & have a high drive (from what I can judge) and is biddable

Sociability: A bit more social than I want lol always looking for being pet and played with. I have 2 kids of my own and he does simply great with them. He does have the bad habit of jumping (still working on that) and he did scratch them to the face or arm once or twice but it was with his claws and with no bad intentions at all we are just all learning to manage these situations & training him not to jump

He does get bored easily though & he does need a fair amount of exercise and play but, from what I could gather from the forum, much less than most people state in here. Right now, for example, he is on a 10 days rest from the orders of the vet (he has PANO from what I understood) so it's been a week he didn't walk except for potty etc.. and you start feeling him a bit tensed. I took him a rather long ride in the car today until he fell asleep and now he is back a bit calmer

What I can tell you for sure is that he is easy to live with & is a great dog with very stable temperament & wonderful impulse control. then again he is just 8 months old & am still fearing the coming few months when everyone seems to say they "turn evil"

Hope it helped

Thanks guys for the heartwarming replies

can I say that your fire place is awesome :)
My favorite spot in the house, nothing like a good fire, Christmas tree a GSD and a whiskey lol

It looks like you're on the coast of Lebanon, but I see snow. I had hear that it snows in Lebanon, but it's hard to imagine.
Lebanon is one of these countries where you can literally ski & swim within a few minutes of each others (in late spring).

Mountains are really very close to the coast (from 30 min to 1h30 drive time) Highest mountain is at about 10000 feet so yea it snows

Thanks for reading
