Hello,
Well, just picked up a 9 month old neglected White German Shepherd Dog from my neighbor. They received numerous complaints of leaving the dog outside and couldn't care for it anymore so he asked if I would keep/take care of him. He weighs 55lbs, you can see and feel his ribs, I grew up with GSD's as a kid, I don't recall them being this light. I currently own 2 other dogs, a black/tan beagle mix and a shitz zhu/Chihuahua mix. My WGSD has been with us for three days now, in the beginning he was panting alot and seemed very restless, but since then he is starting to come around and calm down a bit. He is constantly being walked/run twice a day, this is actually the first time he has walked the neighborhood. The previous owner never once walked or committed any exercise routine. My question is when will he settle in, and if you have any tips for the next coming months, please let me know. Any information will help, oh by the way my two other dogs are neutered but my new WGSD isn't. This is a great website, and found alot of great information. His name is Stone, very friendly; great with kids; has not shown any aggression; during the introduction of the two dogs and my 4 children. The only issue I have is he seems a bit skittish, constantly walks back and fourth, hyperactive even after a hour walk and run. I take him on about a 7 mile bike run, but still has a ton of energy nd wont settle down. He sleeps fine through the night and don't have any issue with that. Thanks again.
