We are first time GSD owners (at least we think she is a purebred GSD, curious what other experienced owners here think). Our last girl (Raven)passed about 2 weeks ago at the age of 13 or so, she was a mutt rescued from the streets of Miami. A DNA test said she was border collie/GSD predominate.
Wasn't planning on a new dog so soon, but the same person who found Raven for us, told us about Seneca. She was found running loose in Miami on Memorial Day weekend with no tag or microchip. The girl who found her is a graduate college student with 2 other GSD's, so there is no way she could keep her. She posted ads on Craigslist and with Miami Animal Services (but didn't turn her in, as they put them down after 5 days). No one replied, so we brought her home to Jupiter, FL.
She is a complete sweetheart and obviously has some training. Can sit, heel, and is housebroken. Is fine with other dogs in our neighborhood. We have had her for about 36 hours now and she already knows her new name, and has stopped jumping up on us, and is calmly sleeping in her bed. Looking forwards to learning more about this breed, I have wanted one since a kid. Our best guess is she is around 6 months. She weighed 45 lbs at the vet this morning when we took her for shots, and she is a little skinny. Luckily she was heartworm negative, and we have an appointment next week to have her spayed. Any other guesses as to her age?
Here she is just after we put her in the car for the drive home
A couple of pictures from last night after we gave her a bath. She was pretty filthy and cleaned up well, she is nowhere near as fluffy as the pictures make her look
