He's very handsome, wishing him luck with the ear. Looks like he might be able to fold it inward. Morgan does a flying nun fold thing with both ears when she's bad (like tonight, caught her eating corn cobs out of the trash!)
Thanks! Looking back, it was obvious he was not a short-coated GSD. I knew he had a more "fluffy than usual" coat as a pup, with lots of "ear fuzz" as I call it. But honestly, at the time I didn't even know there was such a thing as a long-coated GSD. So I didn't ask. I kept waiting for him to shed that long puppy coat, but it just ended up more coarse/slick than fluffy as he grew. He alsogrew into the "ear fuzz". LOL! If I had known when I was calling breeders that long-coats existed, I wouldn't have even gone to look at him. I'm glad I didn't know b/c he has turned out to be the smartest, sweetest, prettiest dog I've ever seen (not that I'm biased!). I fell in love with him on site - when I got him, he was all black with just a touch of grey on his paws/chest, basically. If I ever get another GSD, I'll probably get a coated one. He's just so pretty I don't think I could go back to short-coats (which is what we grew up with as kids). The funny thing is he was the "reject" of the litter - the last little male to be picked.Originally Posted By: AKSJASOMG...That's a stunning fellow!!!!! Do you have pictures of him as a little pup..??? I'm just curious what he looked like when you first brought him home? Was the plush coat obvious even at 8 or 9 weeks?
WOW...HE'S A STUNNER!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING HIS PICTURES....Originally Posted By: KodeeGirlThanks! Looking back, it was obvious he was not a short-coated GSD.
