Rügen survived his 9 hour trip home from Colorado and was amazing the whole time!
At 10 weeks old he is a very sweet, rough and tumble kinda guy. He is actually wearing out our Golden Retriever. (I never thought that was possible) They are like peas in a pod already. My Golden is so gentle with Rügen, I wish I could say the same about the little guy. It seems like every time we turn around he has another golden tuff of fur hanging out of his little mouth
I have already started imprinting obedience with him and I will introduce him to tracking this weekend. Schutzhund is going to be so fun with this little guy. He loves training so much already. To try to get him used to the cat I had him sit and was feeding him kibble (sit-stay) directly in front of the cat. It went well, no more barking for the time being. About an hour later I went to find the little guy and he was sitting in the kitchen just watching the cat! lol

Playtime! (notice the mid-air reverse on Lucky's part)
I got him from Five Peaks GSD. Elaine Holt was great to work with. She is a dog trainer as well as a small GSD breeder (4 bitches). She was always very upfront and quick to respond to any questions I had and continue to have. I haven't been involved in SchH before and she has been really helpful guiding me into it. She is active in Colorado's DVG club and owns Alpha Dog Training. The purchase of a pup from her includes 5 weeks of puppy classes at her facility. The pups are also come with a guarantee to get an OFA passing hip rating. She is very committed to the development of her pups and the betterment of the breed.
Her kennel is in Elizabeth, just about 20 mins South East of Denver. She has 2 litters coming up, both from import females (Cira, and an import bitch not on the site). The info on her site isn't up to date at all, but she is great at emailing pictures. I had a wonderful experience dealing with her and would recommend her to anyone wanting a German high line or looking for a dog trainer.
you and your dogs seem happy how nice. i have the same dog tag that's on Rugen. i have the paw with the orange back ground. both of your dogs are nice looking. how much fun is that having a pup and an older dog. it's extra nice that they're getting along so well. good luck.
My gsd is 8 months old a homeless man gave it to me when he was 3 months old, i haven't seen him since, i got doubts about my dog's size because his mother( i haven't seen the male) was quite small for a gsd, but fortunately the puppy's paws are quite big
There's one more thing i think that his...
I have a 10 week old German Shepard pup, and he seems to have green/grey light eyes. All his other sibilings colored have returned to brown similar to their parents eyes, dad has hazel eyes and mom has dark brown eyes. Would there be a chance he can keep that color of eyes?
So my family is seriously considering adding this pup to our home. This question is more of a just curious. The little boy looks to be a dark sable, I'm just wondering if anyone thinks he'll lighten up and be a lighter sable or stay dark. Dad is black and mom is sable. Personally I'm a fan...
My 11 week old male is acting like a drama queen when people stop him from misbehaving. For example today my brother pulled him out from under a bed because he was hiding under there and chewing someone's shoe. In response the puppy screamed as if he was being murdered, even though he wasn't...
Hi guys! :giggle:
I have a 4.5 month old working line GSD. I saw pictures of his littermates the other day, a female and a male. They are both so much taller than him and I was shocked to see how short my boy still is (my boy was the biggest baby). Although, my boy is not as tall as them I...
