My parents' last German Shepherd, Tasha, was born 2 months before my daughter. She was extraordinary. She would play hide and seek with my kids, watched them like they were her own puppies, and saved my brother's life when he had an aortic dissection at 38. He went to my parents' bedroom and was able to turn the doorknob but was too weak to open the door. Tasha opened the door and jumped on my parents' bed to wake my mother up. If it had been much longer, he would have died. She died from cancer in June of 2020 at 9 years old with all of my kids hugging her.

[@susansullivan8566]

Actually the topline should tend to level when moving. Not moving,the withers are higher and slow into a strong, well developed, short back and long sloping croup 25-27 degrees. As per the German Shepherd Dog standard The German showline dogs seem to be going through a recurring fad of a roaching topline. It had started years ago, then went away I the late 90s and early 2000s. Unfortunately, it has reappeared only worse. This dog would look quite sloped and angulated if set up on a show stance. Most likely, he is mostly North American showlines. NA showlines are currently sound and much more moderate in angulation than in the 80s, and 90s. King Shepherds and Shiloh Shepherd have had other breeds mixed into increase size. They are not recognized by either the Canadian or American Kennel Clubs. The are also not recognized by the SV, which is the German Shepherd Dog registry in Germany.

Such a good boy! I have 2 GSD’s, both rescues. Both are cry babies at home. A couple of weeks ago, I was walking one of them, Butch, when a stray dog attacked, and bit me. I was so worried about Butch, I tried to get up as fast as I could, (Not that fast, I’m 65😄). But, in a few seconds, Butch had totally traumatized the other dog, and sent him running! Not such a baby after all!

I'm sorry you got bit. Stray dogs scare me.

[@bevalexander5897]

@@vaska1999 I was a K9 handler for many years, law enforcement here and security in Iraq. I know dogs and I’m not afraid of them. I actually had pepper spray in my hand, when a woman screamed “don’t hurt that dog”! I glanced at her just as the dog lunged at me. She’s the reason I got bit, hurt when I hit the sidewalk, and my dog almost getting hurt. Unfortunately, because he was a stray, and bit me, he will be euthanized after the stray hold up. This hurts my heart, because if I had been able to spray him, he probably would have ran off or home. It’s so sad.

My folks and I had a Great Dane × Belgian Sheepdog when I was a kid. He was a sweet, big baby most of the time. He would take your arm in his mouth when he met you and show you around the house. We called it his $.50 tour. Once, we took him to the vet to trim his nails. With my dad, myself, and two vet techs holding onto him while the vet did his nails, he still bumped us about in the exam room! My mom asked us what happened when we came out. 🤣😂🤣😂 My current vet had a Great Dane patient who was such a big baby that he wouldn't even go into the exam room for his nails. Instead, he laid down between the counter and some shelves for dog food and dramatically held out his paw and looked away while his nails were done. I laughed rather hard, then told my story.
