Not sure if this is in the right place.
We currently have 4 dogs, 3 are small dogs (shitzu,pom and Maltese they are all older 8,9 and 10) Shadow is our first shepherd (she's just turned 1)
I'm hooked now, I love shepherds. I would love another one, but not for a few years. Shadow would need to be older and well past puppy stage and I don't want 5 dogs or even 2 large and 2 small. Two large and one small I could handle. So we are a few years off another shepherd.
I am wondering though if we have been really lucky with Shadow. She is super friendly, calm, fairly easy to train. She has only ever pee'd in the house perhaps 2 times and that was our fault, she'd been spayed and was being confined and we weren't being as observant as we should have been. She is fantastic with kids and other dogs. We can take her to a pet shop and she will sit and watch the bunnies in the pen or touch noses, she is ok with cats, she is pretty much perfect. I'm a little worried that if/when we get another gsd pup it won't be so easy. I kinda know we lucked out, but just wondering how much we lucked out, lol.
