Everything I read about GSD's after we rescued our boy made me believe that he was going to be a monster. I thought he would be a furry shark that would bite me all the time, and have so much energy that I wouldn't be able to stand it.
Welp, that is not the case with our handsome boy. He is the calmest most mellow dog I have ever had in my life. He is so chill, and would prefer to take naps over playing and going on adventures. If you put him in the car, he is asleep before we get out of our neighborhood, we take him on walks and he walks very calmly taking time to sniff every light pole, mailbox, or stray kids toy. When we get home from our walk, he gets a drink and then sleeps the rest of the night. Anytime we are home he is usually laying around chewing on his bone, or sleeping. He does not play, like I try everything to get him excited, the most he will do is jump up and put his paws on my shoulders and give kisses. We do have another dog that he will try to play with, she will play with him for probably less than 10 minutes then they both go and take naps.
It worries me that he is this calm at 8 months old. It almost makes me think that there is something wrong with him health wise. Like he doesn't have the energy to do things.
Does anyone else have or has had a very mellow puppy? is this normal?
