Hi guys, I'm new. This is my first time owning a GSD, but I've always wanted one, along with my family! We've spent a lot of time with older ones, who're are just beyond fabulous and perfect. So we finally ventured out, and we went to a breeder that is VERY well known in my neck of the woods.
They come with the most praise, and I've seen their other pups. But I'm worried about ours. They're going to be an official 8 weeks on the 13th, but they're SO small! I've looked online, and none of the other puppies I've seen have been so small--and so short in length. They've got the coloring of a GSD, except one of the females, who looks like she could be a Husky/GSD mix.
I mean, it doesn't matter. But we do have their AKC papers and everything--and payed a hearty chunk for both. Like I said, that doesn't matter. We've already fallen in love, so even if they're not GSD's, or a mix, that's fine.
But I just want a second opinion, and how big you guys think they might get.
Other than the size--short for 8weeks, only about lower calf height, their ears are already standing up(like that when we got them from the breeder) and their tails curl like a Pugs or an Akita. I saw mommy and daddy, and they were absolutely beautiful--but I'm starting to doubt my own puppies' purebred status.
The breeder we got them from like I said is well known and well liked, and recommended very, very highly. But Lady Luck and Gemini are just...not very GSD much? I'll post some pictures, and any opinions would be great! Thanks so much guys!
