I had my GSD from the age of 10 weeks until he passed at age 13. He was MY dog, stuck like glue to my side, and I was never fearful in the house without my husband or sons at home. K-she’s (named after the St. Louis rock radio station) breeder said KSHE would give his life to protect me and a couple of times I had no doubt! He died 26 (!) years ago and I think of him every single day! “Best dog-gone dog in the West!”
I understand. Similar situation here. Some things in life we never "get over". It's OK. We don't have to. I think about mine at least once a day and have been for years. Won't ever stop.
Sorry for your loss…it’s so sad we lost both our boys at 7 and our darling little girl at 10 ( dobes) we never stop thinking about our 3 little ones everyday, after losing our first one “bussy” I cried more that time than loosing both my parents combined, I know that’s sad to say but it’s the truth. If you can get another GSD they are great fun just like all other of gods canines, they give us all great inner strength says me with a tear rolling down my left cheek…. Greetings from a bright and blustery London..
My German Shepherd Dog was beautiful, marked with the same color patterns as the adorable puppy in this video. I was her person, and she herded me unceasingly. Brandy’s been gone for 12 years now. I could never consider another GSD, so now, all of these years later, we have a standard poodle puppy; another German breed, but definitely not a GSD! A day doesn’t go by that I don’t wish Brandy back with me.
My darling Zoey was 19 when she died..cross between GSD and Border Collie..the best pal ever .my guard and shadow looked like her Dad but the size of her Collie Mum..30yrs ago but miss her so much...❤
Best dogs in the world! Most devoted, intelligent and empathetic creatures ever. To know the love of a shepherd is one of God's great gifts to us humans.
I carried home a 20 pound lil baby boy at eight weeks old in my arms. And 9 and half years later, I held him in my arms as he passed. I’ll never be able to describe the love I had for him and he had for me. RIP my Baby Bowzer
I’ve had 3 GS mixes and I have a purebred out of west German lines right now. All have been and are Velcro dogs. I move they move. I make a funny noise they come check on me. I spent 2 months in the hospital recovering from an accident. A month into my recovery my sister brought Fiona to see me. Once Fiona saw me my sister couldnt hold her back. She had to let go of the leash or be dragged. 2 friends braced the wheel chair so I couldn’t get knocked over. When it was time for her to leave I cried and Fiona had to be carried away from me. And at 100 lbs it wasn’t easy. Fiona and Grace ( both GS mixes) brought me so much joy and now Morgan (GS) and Rowena (GS mix) continue to uphold the tradition. German shepherds are the BEST DOGS EVER!
MeToo. On my side all the times. Never needed a leash became she always stayed within 3 feet with me She didn’t bark because she had everything in control. I didn’t know how to train a dog be But she understood everything I said.
I get emotional every time I see a German Shepherd pup, it reminds me of when mine was a puppy, he grew up so fast and he's an adult now. Time flies...
I loved my GSD like No Tomorrow. I was young and now I'm an old lady I see GSDs and I still cry like a baby. For my Best Friend, My four legged child. I was young and now I'm an old lady now. As I pray I always ask the lord to take care my boy in Doggie Heaven.
I lost one boy in 8.September,2018,I still cry for him, he was with me 24/7 I loved him like crazy, I have a 3 year old now he's gonna be another heart breaker, always remember we'll see them again one day.
I had one GSD /Golden Retriever or Husky mix and two Shiloh Shepherds and currently have one on her last legs. Every one of them was soulmate. I have also had wonderful Cockers but they don't reach into the soul the same way. I know all of them are waiting for me and this one will too. I keep telling her that I'll let go when she needs me to becausecwecwill be together again. Soul to soul.

@@anthonyg2554 Glad you like it. I know it is tough to own a dog especially German Shepherd which need your attention. There were times I have to work long hours and I have to get up early and take him out before I go to work. But for the love he returns just melt my heart.
@@vinnyandrocky I agree that it is worth it. But, I go to work at 7:30 am and get home a little before 9:00 pm. I would not be fair to the dog to be left alone all those hours. Moreover, when I get home I would be to tired to play with him and certainly wouldn't be able to take him for a walk. When I retire in five years I will get a dog.
My first GSD, Greta, I got when she was 6 weeks old. I was 4. Greta may sound like a weird name, but I wanted to name her Gertie, after my favorite aunt. My mom didn't think our family would like that. She was my protector, guardian, and best friend. She passed when I was 19 and, 30 years later, I still miss her.
Their beautiful little lives go so quickly, don't they. Watching this video I teared up remembering each puppa as a 6wk old (first) then later a 4wk old (second) and all the places visited, runs, games, laughs etc, and then the Heart tearing when it is their time to depart. I too, miss each one of mine, and know I always will
I have my 5th GS. He has been a good thing in my life. The others were raised with my children. But this one has been all mine he and I have been by ourselves all his life. Now at 10 1/2 years, he is going down fast as is his human. He has been everything that you see in these videos. I don't want to see that day come but I pray he goes before I do because he has never had anyone to care for him but me and I fear he would have to be put down if I'm not here. It is true that he has been my very best friend. When everyone else has failed and abandoned me, he has been the most loving, loyal friend anyone could hope for.
I understand the emotions you're experiencing, my friend. The concern for our cherished dog as they age is something shared by many. The passage of time seems to accelerate when we're deeply bonded with our canine companion. Embrace each moment and savor every day, for each day brings its own precious significance.
I was a cat person until we rescued a Havapoo, now I'm by far a dog person. I've never see anyone so excited to see me after leaving the house for 30 seconds.
Isn't it awesome how God gave His best creature, who will always show unconditional love , the title Dog??? God and Dog, the only unconditional love we experience❤
My GSD is 13 weeks today! She saves us mentally, physically, and emotionally everyday and she is so amazing. And if you ask her she has a perfect record of keeping us safe from amazon drivers lol.
That's exactly right. They need to go out for a walk. Whether it's raining or not. Some people just throw their dogs in the backyard in a cage or on a chain. It's so depressing. Thank you for being good pet parents
I miss my GSD so much. She was the best dog in the world. We rescued her when she was 3 and I couldn’t believe how well-trained, obedient, eager to please and loving she was. Never had any behavioral problems. She was perfect in every way. She passed away a few years ago at 12 years old. My daughters were just babies. Now they’re begging for another dog but I just want my Kena back. Maybe someday.
She sounds like an amazing girl, they are such a special breed. I feel your pain in losing your gorgeous girl. It breaks your heart but they are all really special and if you get another one, he/she will be equally amazing as your Kena in their own way. The good news is if you get another one, you understand the breed just a little bit better because of Kena. I am on my 7th (Misha), they are all I have ever known but at 60 years old she will be my last. I cant give them the active lifestyle I once could. I miss them all and even though I don't believe in an afterlife, I really wish there was so I could be with them all again one day. At my age, I rate GSDs above most people because of their pure hearts, their love and their loyalty.
It dont always work like that with dogs. In fact, it doesnt work with the majority of all dogs period. When your german shephard decides that whatever distraction around you is better than listening to you, you can practically shove your care and kindness up your behind - they will simply do what is most appealing to them. That driving car, the squirrel that ran past you or the leaf thats fluttering up in the air is simply more valuable than pleasing you or getting a treat.
I do not hit mine . We have three young ones now our last , who should be there until near our time . We have had six before . My heart fills with love as they are part of me .
Watch this video again….. Where is the gentleness? Unfortunately for a GSD if they are not raised with the best intentions you should never own one🤷♀️ My dogs 🐕 were always raised the correct way with their Breeder on call at all time when needed. My current MALE GSD is loved and cherished, socialized the correct way and on Guard DUTY at our home at all time. He is our 4th. Our last 3 lived till they were 14 and died naturally. They all come from West Germany.
Beautiful dog , I’ve had 3 GS dogs in my 54yrs and with work and devotion to their training, it’s a truly rewarding relationship that you’ll have with the dog. Beautiful 😊
I lost ny GSD, Sam, 25 years ago and I still think of him and miss him. He was loving, loyal, protective and the most intelligent dog I've ever had. If he could speak like a human he would have done. The most perfect and amazing dog ever 😢.
My Delli passed just over a year ago now and the grief is crushing sometimes I think its more accurate to simply say I was her Human, she picked me and spent her entire life showing me nothing but love and loyalty, when she went into Labour she insisted I was in the box along side her, Thats her in my profile picture, we kept 4 of her pups which are now about 5 but its not the same, they are beautiful and loved and each special but for me its not the same, Im just grateful that I had 10 good years with her from puppy to the night she went to sleep at the bottom of my bed and didn't wake. goodnight my precious girl.
Ive had 5 German shepherd's and have my 6th now,hes 3, some of the things in this video are terrible,leaving a new little puppy home for his first night is cruel,i had all mine with me in my room,my boy now,was on my bed from his first night. Some people need 😅lessons of how to look after a baby puppy.Mine jumped off the bed to go potty,thru the night right from the start,i even put a small stool near the bed for him to get back up by himself. My husband leaves the TV on 24/7 so ive now got an TV addict, he loved Star Trek voyager and Rawhide,id catch him watching it if i woke up. He slept behind my pillows until he grew to big and had his own bed then. Love your little guy, hes now family, treat him as one. Youll get his unconditional love for the rest of his life.
I was a fan of the blue tick coonhound. I was afraid of german shepherds, one day my son said he couldn't keep his german shepherd where he was living. So I became the owner of a 6 month old german shepherd. It won my hart it's so smart ,brave, and loyal. She put herself between me and a black bear. Love the breed.
I used to be afraid of German shepherds too. Bad experiences as a kid. Now I think they're so beautiful and wish I could have one but circumstances are not favorable for that.
In 50 years, i have rescued many GSD i have three now and would never be without them, a warning to any dog owners who love there pets, when you have to go to the vet with your pet for the last time stay wirh them it keeps them calm knowing your there and they can go peacefully, if you dont stay with them they start to stress and its painful. For the vet to watch you should love your GSD there your best buddy's,😮
I'm on my third GSD, I don't believe I could do without one. They are the most loyal and caring dogs. Always by my side and nudging me for belly rubs and loving.
My wife and I had similar experience… our GSD Wyatt loved me, but he was my wife’s everything… passed away 6 years ago and she still can’t hardly talk about him… she could have a human conversation with him and I swear he understood every word… he stuck by her every move… I could ramble on for hours about the most intelligent intuitive animal,I’ve ever seen… I miss him too…
I am a volunteer service dog trainer, a puppy raiser. I get them from 8 weeks to 15 months. Majority are GSDs, some are Golden’s and Labs. Very interesting, rewarding and intense full time job. I am retired and this is now my new full time career. Keeps me active and feeling young with the daily five miles of walking as part of training. Our family dog was a Jack Russell who crossed the rainbow bridge at 18, which gave me the skills to handle any puppy they send my way. Each one of my “students” have left their paw prints on my heart, but I know the difference they make in people’s lives. Sadie, Zoe, Rex, Abbey, Leo, and Sophie, I know your living your best lives and making me proud every day. 🐾
Retired but still giving your love to others, you are a good man. 👍What a wonderful and rewarding job you have ! You surely have a good life. Enjoy and cheer.
Thank you for what you do. For everything you know you do for your dogs and their people, every impact you know you’ve made, there are ten more. ❤ Signed, the long-ago, last-days kahu of a very special retiring service dog. ❤
I grew up with Newfoundland dogs....later in life I picked up a Shepherd rescue...little girl...Daisy...she and I are are the bestest buddies....fantastic dog
How could you not love this dog…….I have cats now because I can no longer take a dog for walks …..but I aways loved my German shepherd dogs…Thank you for this….
I got my GSD Ajax at the age of 1.5 years. Had just had a female dog of mine Rosie, die at the age of 12 and wasnt really thinking about another one as i was still broken up about it. But was looking at craigslist one morning and the people i got him from had posted about 5 minutes earlier, they had just had a baby and couldn't keep him. I really liked the way he looked so made the call. When i went to check him out we bonded in about 5 minutes and the rest is history. He hasn't left my side sinse and goes everywhere with me and my other two rescue mutts. He is a true joy to have!!!
We just lost our beautiful American Eskimo 😘🐾 after 15 yrs 8 months . Thx for sharing , they give us so many wonderful memories & unconditionally love . Be well . Awesome pup .👍
I have a German shepherd Lab mix he's 12 and still going strong I've had him since he was a pup he's family. The best friend I've ever had ❤ your dogos.
I also have a German Shepherd Lab mix at home and he's going to be 16 years old in January. Loves to growl a lot when you pet him. I think it's just his way of communicating. If you stop he looks at you for more. He's been a great dog and has lived his life in our country home. Never tied up or restrained. He's free to visit the fields although he rarely does now. Just loves laying under our picnic table out of the sun to watch the day go by. He's on our back deck as I type this laying down with front paws spread and head down looking like a sorry advertisement for a rug. 😅 Love him dearly. ❤
Your video helped me relive my GSDs puppyhood. He was such a lovable pup. Now he is 12 and starting to experience health issues. I intend to make sure each day is wonderful until the day, whenever it is, to give my wonderful dog back to God and the wisdom to do the right thing for him.
Beautiful dog. GSD. Gods Special Dog. I had my Thor from 8 weeks old till he passed from a stroke at 8 1/2 years old. He will always have a special place in my heart.
We had three GSDs, all were rescued. Dog 1 taught our daughter how to do agility, yes not the other way around. We are now late in life, perhaps we will be reunited with them one day, how wonderful if that happens.
My Scooby was a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix, he may not be the bravest dog I have ever had, unless he thought a family member was in trouble, but he is a very gentle and loving companion. He is a good boy, rescuing him was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Our GSD is 3 years old now. I remember when she was a puppy her teeth was like needles. And she loved bitting my arms. Finally she grew out of the stage. They are a very loveable and funny pet.
Mines 2 years old now, they grow up so fast, he's my second gsd absolute characters and arqumentive, loving loyalty amongst other traits there famous for ❤lovely little land shark he is.
That's right the German Shepherd and the Dutch Shepherd are the best # 1 breeds in my book. Very Loyal, Loving, Protective, and a Soulmate for life just wished that they lived longer.... Our first German shepherd lived to be 13yrs old that was ROUGH 😢 and the other thing you will have a friend while going to the bathroom 😂😂😂😂
I have a male Shepherd named Mack. Had him since he was 8 weeks old. He is now almost 3 years old. I trained him myself. He is so smart and loyal. The best dog I have ever owned. We are pals and watchout for each other.
I am looking at my 4 year 10 month old Augie now and this video blasts me back to when he was a 2 1/2 month-old bear cub. What a handful he was to raise! We are both fortunate that I am retired and could devote most of my time to him. What a magnificent man he has grown to be! I am truly blessed and tempted to bring a new puppy home for him to help teach and to watch over. He is my best friend and I worry about nothing with him by my side. German Shepherds are so very special!
good thing to get a dog when retired and you can give them all the socializatiion they need and a lot of fun companionship and training too so that they are comfortable in every situation. Especially important for working dogs who are bred to alert on anything they don't recognize. Mine today [11 1/2 years old] was very interested in a man polishing his car, clearly something he had never seen at our house! Just interested and wanted to determine what it meant to me and him on our walk. Looked, assessed and trotted on. Shepherd type dogs are my favorites!
There is no love on this earth like the love from a GSD. I love and cherish my girl every single day. One day time will take her from me, until then these are the best days of my life.
In my family over the years we have had 5 GS's and they were all the best. I am now waiting for my first guide dogs for the blind GS puppy to raise, so I can help a blind person gain some independance and mobility. I cant wait.
Can’t stop smiling watching this. So much like ours who is now 8. So gorgeous..those floppy years but most important so intelligent. Had 5 in 53 years. And yes treats…I get a paw on my knee every morning for his Rich Tea Biscuit. He really does talk to me.
I had a GSD named Quin. Her son was Canadian champion back in 2005. I had to re-home her in 2008 after a nasty divorce. I still think of her every day. Best dog ever. Calm as a cucumber, a force to reckon with. My best friend. I miss you Quinny. Dad
He is so sweet! I love animals in general-especially dogs.This little one reminds me very much of one of my own German Sheperds! I can't tell you ,how much I still miss him after all these years.My son just told me off for still missing my mum,who died very young and my dogs,who helped me to overcome difficulties.
Reminds me of my GSD... Rocky. He is now 3, large and in charge. What an absolutely amazing dog. Cherish every moment. He will blindly love you forever. They are so brave and loyal.........and spoiled. 😬
I'm experiencing my first GSD. He was a three year old rescue from the local animal shelter My wife saw him at the shelter when she went to donate some dog toys. We haven't had him a full year yet, but I am his human. I've never experienced a more loving and loyal animal in my life. Sarge is MY BUDDY! We go everywhere together. He loves going to our farm! We get there and I just him GO. No leash, no harness, just complete freedom. He loves being a country dog.
Best breed. Ive had 6 in my 35 years on this earth. I grew up with this breed and can’t imagine my life without one in it. I currently have 2 a white shepherd and a shepsky who I love so much. 🥰 your puppy is just as cute as mine were when they were all puppies themselves 🥰
Thank you for a wonderful sweet video. I've had Shepherds since 1963 and thank God each & every day for the wonderful companions he sent me. Your video brings back a ton of good memoies. May you have many many years with Rocky by your side.
I raise cattle, cow/ calf. One winter day was moving some mommas w babies, got to close to one cow who turned and came after me, she would hurt you if given a chance. As I started to move I slipped on a slick hillside and went down. The cow was literally a few feet from me when a black and brown form went flying between , My GSD,Joseph T Dogg hit her inn the face , she turned onto him. He let her chase him down the hill, he saved me from serious injury that day . 20 yrs have since passed, I will love my Dogg til the end of my days
I have had 6 GSDs over 26 years, 2 at a time. I trained them gently, not with food rewards but with pets and soft talk. They stopped puppy bites early, were well socialized and all saved me from burglars. My young Charlie hasn’t met a bad guy yet, but he comes from 10 generations of German Schutzhund champs. They all loved me very seriously. I am 76 and hope to outlive Charlie, but he will go back to the breeder should I die first. I love them so much, but they need great training.
My GSD, Onney, is 7 now. We were told he was high risk because he was a singleton pup (no litter mates). In order to learn bite control, every time he nibbled or bit us as a pup, we cried like his litter mate naturally would. Onney is the gentlest 120 lb GSD baby! The softest touch with his teeth ALWAYS! ❤️
I have 2. Littermate males. Best friends ever. Highly trained as protection assets they are the smartest dogs by far. Gunny and Odie were instrumental in my recovery from PTSD as well as cancer. Nothing makes them more happy than getting to play "the knock down game" when dad comes home from work. "We knock him the deck and then smother with kisses"!
This breed is the best they are loyal, easy to train and very versatile and agile with the right owner and correct traing and love they will lay dow their life and walk over hot coals for you, they expect the same loyality back from you. They are not with us long enough so make every day count and special for them. Yes there will be days when the weather is not good yuo dont want to go out, there will be times they may have the odd accident at home... it only a small amount of yur tikme to clean up... when youre down they will find the time to love you.
Love his ears! I’ve had two and they are absolutely precious….I think all doggies are. They have so much love and companionship to give….and at times will demand it! They bring so much joy to your life. They’re like little kids…curious and loving and demanding but offer so much. Hope y’all have a wonderful life…love and take care of each other! And YES he is a good boy!
What a cuddly rascal. I got my "Buddy" from an 11 litter, he was just 6 weeks old. It was too much for the mother and so all 11 were bottle-fed and the replacement "mother" was at the edge of her strength. He has developed very well and we have learned a lot from each other. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, I still have his puppy teeth and have done so for 20 years.
This puppy is so much like my boy Ricky ,he came to us as an unwanted xmas gift we got him new years day,for the next ten years he was my baby my guardian and best friend, I would give my right arm to have him back still miss him every day,
Beautiful pup my grandma raised us on German shepherds and we had our own at Home greatest dog we ever had. Haven’t had one in 10 yrs I think it’s time for a puppy. Thanks for the video.
I had my GSD from the age of 10 weeks until he passed at age 13. He was MY dog, stuck like glue to my side, and I was never fearful in the house without my husband or sons at home.

I understand. Similar situation here. Some things in life we never "get over". It's OK. We don't have to. I think about mine at least once a day and have been for years. Won't ever stop.
Sorry for your loss…it’s so sad we lost both our boys at 7 and our darling little girl at 10 ( dobes) we never stop thinking about our 3 little ones everyday, after losing our first one “bussy” I cried more that time than loosing both my parents combined, I know that’s sad to say but it’s the truth. If you can get another GSD they are great fun just like all other of gods canines, they give us all great inner strength says me with a tear rolling down my left cheek….

@@wendylinton453 Had the same although mine was a Belgian/ Collie cross died at 15.Had a few dogs but that one was my favourite.
Best dogs in the world! Most devoted, intelligent and empathetic creatures ever. To know the love of a shepherd is one of God's great gifts to us humans.
100% agree!🙂
I have three, and why would you want anything else, in most cases.@@vinnyandrocky
It's my favorite
So true, they steal your heart. Miss my girl very much. :(
Truth
Dogs are absolutely the best buddies you can have!

I’ve had 3 GS mixes and I have a purebred out of west German lines right now. All have been and are Velcro dogs. I move they move. I make a funny noise they come check on me. I spent 2 months in the hospital recovering from an accident. A month into my recovery my sister brought Fiona to see me. Once Fiona saw me my sister couldnt hold her back.

And at 100 lbs it wasn’t easy. Fiona and Grace ( both GS mixes) brought me so much joy and now Morgan (GS) and Rowena (GS mix) continue to uphold the tradition. German shepherds are the BEST DOGS EVER!
Made me cry…..miss my Max. Smartest,bravest,best lookinh GSD that ever lived. R.I.P. my friend.
MeToo. On my side all the times. Never needed a leash became she always stayed within 3 feet with me She didn’t bark because she had everything in control. I didn’t know how to train a dog be
But she understood everything I said.
The so endearingly sweet german shepherd doggies should live at least 15 years!!! They should not die so short-lived (about 10 years only)...
I get emotional every time I see a German Shepherd pup, it reminds me of when mine was a puppy, he grew up so fast and he's an adult now. Time flies...
Yes, I feel the same.
And all of our profile pictures are gsd!
@@shirleyporter7795 AMAZZING
Yes, time does fly much to fast, everytime a pup0y closes his eyes for a nap he grows.
With so much crap in the world today, I watch these beautiful dog videos like this for my psychological well-being.
Glad you enjoy it, 🥰
I loved my GSD like No Tomorrow. I was young and now I'm an old lady I see GSDs and I still cry like a baby. For my Best Friend, My four legged child. I was young and now I'm an old lady now. As I pray I always ask the lord to take care my boy in Doggie Heaven.
Yes, German Shepherd is one of the best gifts from God. Those who ever own a German Shepherd know best.
I lost one boy in 8.September,2018,I still cry for him, he was with me 24/7 I loved him like crazy, I have a 3 year old now he's gonna be another heart breaker, always remember we'll see them again one day.
Me too. Lost my GSD 25 years ago and I still miss him. Loyal, very intelligent and he loved all four legged and two legged.
I had one GSD /Golden Retriever or Husky mix and two Shiloh Shepherds and currently have one on her last legs. Every one of them was soulmate. I have also had wonderful Cockers but they don't reach into the soul the same way. I know all of them are waiting for me and this one will too.

Thank you! 😍
I wish I could have only one. I wor long hours and live alone. So I can't. But, at least I can see videos like this and dream.

My first GSD, Greta, I got when she was 6 weeks old. I was 4. Greta may sound like a weird name, but I wanted to name her Gertie, after my favorite aunt. My mom didn't think our family would like that. She was my protector, guardian, and best friend. She passed when I was 19 and, 30 years later, I still miss her.
Their beautiful little lives go so quickly, don't they. Watching this video I teared up remembering each puppa as a 6wk old (first) then later a 4wk old (second) and all the places visited, runs, games, laughs etc, and then the Heart tearing when it is their time to depart. I too, miss each one of mine, and know I always will
greta is a great name, i always give my GSDs german names too. I've had them since 1968, worth every minute of training.
I had a shepherd when I grew up Best dog I'm 55 still think of her
Always has and always will be the best breed in the World.
I have my 5th GS. He has been a good thing in my life. The others were raised with my children. But this one has been all mine he and I have been by ourselves all his life. Now at 10 1/2 years, he is going down fast as is his human. He has been everything that you see in these videos. I don't want to see that day come but I pray he goes before I do because he has never had anyone to care for him but me and I fear he would have to be put down if I'm not here. It is true that he has been my very best friend. When everyone else has failed and abandoned me, he has been the most loving, loyal friend anyone could hope for.
I understand the emotions you're experiencing, my friend. The concern for our cherished dog as they age is something shared by many. The passage of time seems to accelerate when we're deeply bonded with our canine companion. Embrace each moment and savor every day, for each day brings its own precious significance.
As God is my witness, doggies are the most loving and loyal creatures on earth.
What a lovely boy
Dogs are God's gift to mankind and a perfect example of unconditional love.
I was a cat person until we rescued a Havapoo, now I'm by far a dog person. I've never see anyone so excited to see me after leaving the house for 30 seconds.
Yep. God should have stopped with the Dog.
Isn't it awesome how God gave His best creature, who will always show unconditional love , the title Dog??? God and Dog, the only unconditional love we experience❤
My boy is 5 1/2 had him since 8 wks love of my life. Im 66 no significant other He says he is all i need ❤
You are right, ❤ is all he needs. I'm sure he keeps you safe.
I’ve had four shepherds. They are absolutely the best dogs. I wish they had a longer life span.
Where would u get ur German shepherd?
@@Jam3s_halo the pound, friends of a friend. Ad in the paper or yard. They’ve all been wonderful!
Oh ok thx
I’m looking for a puppy where would u find a German shepherd puppy
@@Jam3s_halowe got ours from a rescue when he was 8 weeks old. He is a sable GSD. Also have a 6 year old tan and brown GSD. They are the dynamic duo.
My GSD Tobi was always with me. I was his world. He gave us unconditional love. You won’t regret having a GSD.
My GSD is 13 weeks today! She saves us mentally, physically, and emotionally everyday and she is so amazing. And if you ask her she has a perfect record of keeping us safe from amazon drivers lol.
Good for you. You have long year to enjoy.👍
Or the zombie squirrel apocalypse!
And UPS and the mailman..😂
The most loving, loyal, faithful dogs ❤
One of the Best Breeds.
My 1st. Best Friend of 17yrs.
I still think of her. So smart & BEAUTIFUL.
Your GSD must be very healthy. 🥰
17! That's a long time for a shepherd.
That's exactly right. They need to go out for a walk. Whether it's raining or not. Some people just throw their dogs in the backyard in a cage or on a chain. It's so depressing. Thank you for being good pet parents
I miss my GSD so much. She was the best dog in the world. We rescued her when she was 3 and I couldn’t believe how well-trained, obedient, eager to please and loving she was. Never had any behavioral problems. She was perfect in every way. She passed away a few years ago at 12 years old. My daughters were just babies. Now they’re begging for another dog but I just want my Kena back. Maybe someday.
Rescue a pooch...I have one...her name is Daisy. I have never had a better friend.
She sounds like an amazing girl, they are such a special breed. I feel your pain in losing your gorgeous girl. It breaks your heart but they are all really special and if you get another one, he/she will be equally amazing as your Kena in their own way. The good news is if you get another one, you understand the breed just a little bit better because of Kena. I am on my 7th (Misha), they are all I have ever known but at 60 years old she will be my last. I cant give them the active lifestyle I once could. I miss them all and even though I don't believe in an afterlife, I really wish there was so I could be with them all again one day. At my age, I rate GSDs above most people because of their pure hearts, their love and their loyalty.
Just rescued a male and a female, great together, 9 months and 13 months. Great entertainment and companionship
GSD's get snapped up very quickly.@@greasyflight6609
I love the gentle way this owner trains his dog. No hitting. No yelling. Firm but always kind.
It dont always work like that with dogs. In fact, it doesnt work with the majority of all dogs period.
When your german shephard decides that whatever distraction around you is better than listening to you, you can practically shove your care and kindness up your behind - they will simply do what is most appealing to them. That driving car, the squirrel that ran past you or the leaf thats fluttering up in the air is simply more valuable than pleasing you or getting a treat.
Why would anyone ever hit their dog unless they're a sadist?
@@klarahaplova9098 You should own a dog with that attitude.
I do not hit mine . We have three young ones now our last , who should be there until near our time . We have had six before . My heart fills with love as they are part of me .
Watch this video again….. Where is the gentleness? Unfortunately for a GSD if they are not raised with the best intentions you should never own one🤷♀️ My dogs 🐕 were always raised the correct way with their Breeder on call at all time when needed. My current MALE GSD is loved and cherished, socialized the correct way and on Guard DUTY at our home at all time. He is our 4th. Our last 3 lived till they were 14 and died naturally. They all come from West Germany.
Beautiful dog , I’ve had 3 GS dogs in my 54yrs and with work and devotion to their training, it’s a truly rewarding relationship that you’ll have with the dog. Beautiful 😊
Thank you. This dog changed my life.
I lost ny GSD, Sam, 25 years ago and I still think of him and miss him. He was loving, loyal, protective and the most intelligent dog I've ever had. If he could speak like a human he would have done. The most perfect and amazing dog ever 😢.
He looks so cute.❤
Oh how I miss my fabulous GSD. She’s been gone for 12 years now, and my heart is still broken.
To me they are the most loyal breed. Cant help but become best friends!! Such loyal friends
Omg he is just adorable ..beautiful boy..❤
My Delli passed just over a year ago now and the grief is crushing sometimes I think its more accurate to simply say I was her Human, she picked me and spent her entire life showing me nothing but love and loyalty, when she went into Labour she insisted I was in the box along side her, Thats her in my profile picture, we kept 4 of her pups which are now about 5 but its not the same, they are beautiful and loved and each special but for me its not the same, Im just grateful that I had 10 good years with her from puppy to the night she went to sleep at the bottom of my bed and didn't wake. goodnight my precious girl.
You found her and she devoted her life and love to you. Life is beautiful.🥰 Good girl.
We love GSD's. We are on our 2nd. We lost our first to cancer at 11 years old. I still miss him. But the new guy keeps us laughing and filled with joy
Had four of them growing up, miss them all dearly.
Unconditional, love, and loyalty.
Are you still that cute? You never seem to get old. You still lovely in everyone's heart. Enjoy your yourh while you still can!!!
Best Dogs Loyal to the End Had 3 so far in my life Loved Everyone of them
Ive had 5 German shepherd's and have my 6th now,hes 3, some of the things in this video are terrible,leaving a new little puppy home for his first night is cruel,i had all mine with me in my room,my boy now,was on my bed from his first night. Some people need 😅lessons of how to look after a baby puppy.Mine jumped off the bed to go potty,thru the night right from the start,i even put a small stool near the bed for him to get back up by himself. My husband leaves the TV on 24/7 so ive now got an TV addict, he loved Star Trek voyager and Rawhide,id catch him watching it if i woke up. He slept behind my pillows until he grew to big and had his own bed then. Love your little guy, hes now family, treat him as one. Youll get his unconditional love for the rest of his life.
I was a fan of the blue tick coonhound. I was afraid of german shepherds, one day my son said he couldn't keep his german shepherd where he was living. So I became the owner of a 6 month old german shepherd. It won my hart it's so smart ,brave, and loyal. She put herself between me and a black bear. Love the breed.
You are a lucky man. Treat her nice and she will give back 10 times more.
I used to be afraid of German shepherds too. Bad experiences as a kid. Now I think they're so beautiful and wish I could have one but circumstances are not favorable for that.
I love when they are young and their ears flop around until they become adults. So cute ❤
The best dog I have ever had as a child. Amazing pet. ❤
You are right, I bet you have some good time and memories.
In 50 years, i have rescued many GSD i have three now and would never be without them, a warning to any dog owners who love there pets, when you have to go to the vet with your pet for the last time stay wirh them it keeps them calm knowing your there and they can go peacefully, if you dont stay with them they start to stress and its painful. For the vet to watch you should love your GSD there your best buddy's,😮
I'm on my third GSD, I don't believe I could do without one. They are the most loyal and caring dogs. Always by my side and nudging me for belly rubs and loving.
My wife and I had similar experience… our GSD Wyatt loved me, but he was my wife’s everything… passed away 6 years ago and she still can’t hardly talk about him… she could have a human conversation with him and I swear he understood every word… he stuck by her every move… I could ramble on for hours about the most intelligent intuitive animal,I’ve ever seen… I miss him too…
I am a volunteer service dog trainer, a puppy raiser. I get them from 8 weeks to 15 months. Majority are GSDs, some are Golden’s and Labs. Very interesting, rewarding and intense full time job. I am retired and this is now my new full time career. Keeps me active and feeling young with the daily five miles of walking as part of training. Our family dog was a Jack Russell who crossed the rainbow bridge at 18, which gave me the skills to handle any puppy they send my way. Each one of my “students” have left their paw prints on my heart, but I know the difference they make in people’s lives. Sadie, Zoe, Rex, Abbey, Leo, and Sophie, I know your living your best lives and making me proud every day. 🐾
Retired but still giving your love to others, you are a good man. 👍What a wonderful and rewarding job you have ! You surely have a good life. Enjoy and cheer.
I can't think of a more fulfilling way to spend your retirement
A bit bossy. Crate training....excellent option! Long life and happiness to this beautiful GSD.
Thank you for what you do. For everything you know you do for your dogs and their people, every impact you know you’ve made, there are ten more. ❤
Signed,
the long-ago, last-days kahu of a very special retiring service dog. ❤
There is nothing that could beat the joy of owning a GSD. They are beautiful, smart, bad in a good way and so much apart of your soul
🥰
That is a GORGEOUS German Shepherd
I love Them Alot
I grew up with Newfoundland dogs....later in life I picked up a Shepherd rescue...little girl...Daisy...she and I are are the bestest buddies....fantastic dog
How could you not love this dog…….I have cats now because I can no longer take a dog for walks …..but I aways loved my German shepherd dogs…Thank you for this….
Glad you like it, thank you.🥰
I got my GSD Ajax at the age of 1.5 years. Had just had a female dog of mine Rosie, die at the age of 12 and wasnt really thinking about another one as i was still broken up about it. But was looking at craigslist one morning and the people i got him from had posted about 5 minutes earlier, they had just had a baby and couldn't keep him. I really liked the way he looked so made the call. When i went to check him out we bonded in about 5 minutes and the rest is history. He hasn't left my side sinse and goes everywhere with me and my other two rescue mutts. He is a true joy to have!!!
What a happy man! Good for you.
Oh my goodness im in love 🥰! I still miss my GSD even after 20 years 😢
We just lost our beautiful American Eskimo 😘🐾 after 15 yrs 8 months . Thx for sharing , they give us so many wonderful memories & unconditionally love . Be well . Awesome pup .👍
Dogs, cats, horses, and all the rest- I like and trust the average animal more than the average human.
He was the best friend I could ever ask for. Much, much more worthy than any human..
I have a German shepherd Lab mix he's 12 and still going strong I've had him since he was a pup he's family. The best friend I've ever had ❤ your dogos.
I also have a German Shepherd Lab mix at home and he's going to be 16 years old in January. Loves to growl a lot when you pet him. I think it's just his way of communicating. If you stop he looks at you for more. He's been a great dog and has lived his life in our country home. Never tied up or restrained. He's free to visit the fields although he rarely does now. Just loves laying under our picnic table out of the sun to watch the day go by. He's on our back deck as I type this laying down with front paws spread and head down looking like a sorry advertisement for a rug. 😅 Love him dearly. ❤
Your video helped me relive my GSDs puppyhood. He was such a lovable pup. Now he is 12 and starting to experience health issues. I intend to make sure each day is wonderful until the day, whenever it is, to give my wonderful dog back to God and the wisdom to do the right thing for him.
Yes, German Shepherd is such a great gift from God. Glad you have one and appreciate how great it is. Good for you.🙂
I have a GSD too and I can feel the love you have with your German Shepherd. They are so unique and loving.
@@conniensm2004 You are right!🥰
Beautiful dog. GSD. Gods Special Dog. I had my Thor from 8 weeks old till he passed from a stroke at 8 1/2 years old. He will always have a special place in my heart.
We had three GSDs, all were rescued. Dog 1 taught our daughter how to do agility, yes not the other way around. We are now late in life, perhaps we will be reunited with them one day, how wonderful if that happens.
My Scooby was a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix, he may not be the bravest dog I have ever had, unless he thought a family member was in trouble, but he is a very gentle and loving companion. He is a good boy, rescuing him was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
This was one of the best videos for getting a GSD! Whether a puppy, adult or senior, it would be too hard not to give one a home.
Our GSD is 3 years old now. I remember when she was a puppy her teeth was like needles. And she loved bitting my arms. Finally she grew out of the stage. They are a very loveable and funny pet.
Mines 2 years old now, they grow up so fast, he's my second gsd absolute characters and arqumentive, loving loyalty amongst other traits there famous for ❤lovely little land shark he is.
That's right the German Shepherd and the Dutch Shepherd are the best # 1 breeds in my book. Very Loyal, Loving, Protective, and a Soulmate for life just wished that they lived longer.... Our first German shepherd lived to be 13yrs old that was ROUGH 😢 and the other thing you will have a friend while going to the bathroom 😂😂😂😂
Yes they are! Better close the door.
I have a male Shepherd named Mack. Had him since he was 8 weeks old. He is now almost 3 years old. I trained him myself.
He is so smart and loyal. The best dog I have ever owned.
We are pals and watchout for each other.
I am looking at my 4 year 10 month old Augie now and this video blasts me back to when he was a 2 1/2 month-old bear cub. What a handful he was to raise! We are both fortunate that I am retired and could devote most of my time to him. What a magnificent man he has grown to be! I am truly blessed and tempted to bring a new puppy home for him to help teach and to watch over. He is my best friend and I worry about nothing with him by my side. German Shepherds are so very special!
You got it, German Shepherd will always love you, always by your side. 🥰
good thing to get a dog when retired and you can give them all the socializatiion they need and a lot of fun companionship and training too so that they are comfortable in every situation. Especially important for working dogs who are bred to alert on anything they don't recognize. Mine today [11 1/2 years old] was very interested in a man polishing his car, clearly something he had never seen at our house! Just interested and wanted to determine what it meant to me and him on our walk. Looked, assessed and trotted on. Shepherd type dogs are my favorites!
The ears, the ears, the ears! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is no love on this earth like the love from a GSD. I love and cherish my girl every single day. One day time will take her from me, until then these are the best days of my life.
In my family over the years we have had 5 GS's and they were all the best.
I am now waiting for my first guide dogs for the blind GS puppy to raise, so I can help a blind person gain some independance and mobility. I cant wait.
You are a good man. Best wish for your new puppy.
I have one named marley he is my very first German shepherd i wanted as a child my dream came true love him dearly 🐕 ❤️
Can’t stop smiling watching this. So much like ours who is now 8. So gorgeous..those floppy years but most important so intelligent. Had 5 in 53 years. And yes treats…I get a paw on my knee every morning for his Rich Tea Biscuit. He really does talk to me.
Lucky you. Enjoy.
Always loved their puppy ears! Love me a Sheppard!🐕
I had a GSD named Quin. Her son was Canadian champion back in 2005. I had to re-home her in 2008 after a nasty divorce. I still think of her every day. Best dog ever. Calm as a cucumber, a force to reckon with. My best friend. I miss you Quinny. Dad
He is so sweet! I love animals in general-especially dogs.This little one reminds me very much of one of my own German Sheperds! I can't tell you ,how much I still miss him after all these years.My son just told me off for still missing my mum,who died very young and my dogs,who helped me to overcome difficulties.
Thank you. German Shepherd is such a great dog and I understand how you feel. Your dog will always stay in your heart.
My first two dogs were Germans, i just love these dogs.
Your dog, is your best friend. He is actually your child. He will stick my your side, no matter what.
Reminds me of my GSD... Rocky. He is now 3, large and in charge. What an absolutely amazing dog. Cherish every moment. He will blindly love you forever. They are so brave and loyal.........and spoiled. 😬
Yes, they are truly amazing dog. 👍
I'm experiencing my first GSD. He was a three year old rescue from the local animal shelter
My wife saw him at the shelter when she went to donate some dog toys. We haven't had him a full year yet, but I am his human. I've never experienced a more loving and loyal animal in my life. Sarge is MY BUDDY! We go everywhere together. He loves going to our farm! We get there and I just him GO. No leash, no harness, just complete freedom. He loves being a country dog.
Glad you found him. You won't find a better buddy than a German Shepherd. Enjoy.
Best breed. Ive had 6 in my 35 years on this earth. I grew up with this breed and can’t imagine my life without one in it. I currently have 2 a white shepherd and a shepsky who I love so much. 🥰 your puppy is just as cute as mine were when they were all puppies themselves 🥰
How cute little smart Rocky! It melts my heart!🥰
Thank you, he is very cute.
We have two and a half year old working line GSD. The most intelligent, loyal best friend you will ever have. Almost human.
He is beautiful dogs bring so much joy GOD'S gift to man
Looks like this dog has a decent owner who will spend time teaching and showing how to behave. It is so rewarding for both.
Best funny dogs in the world. To smart. You can't close a door. You have to lock it. They know how to open them.
Thank you for a wonderful sweet video. I've had Shepherds since 1963 and thank God each & every day for the wonderful companions he sent me. Your video brings back a ton of good memoies. May you have many many years with Rocky by your side.
You are so kind, thank you. May God bless you.
I raise cattle, cow/ calf. One winter day was moving some mommas w babies, got to close to one cow who turned and came after me, she would hurt you if given a chance. As I started to move I slipped on a slick hillside and went down. The cow was literally a few feet from me when a black and brown form went flying between , My GSD,Joseph T Dogg hit her inn the face , she turned onto him. He let her chase him down the hill, he saved me from serious injury that day . 20 yrs have since passed, I will love my Dogg til the end of my days
I have had 6 GSDs over 26 years, 2 at a time. I trained them gently, not with food rewards but with pets and soft talk. They stopped puppy bites early, were well socialized and all saved me from burglars. My young Charlie hasn’t met a bad guy yet, but he comes from 10 generations of German Schutzhund champs. They all loved me very seriously. I am 76 and hope to outlive Charlie, but he will go back to the breeder should I die first. I love them so much, but they need great training.
My GSD, Onney, is 7 now. We were told he was high risk because he was a singleton pup (no litter mates). In order to learn bite control, every time he nibbled or bit us as a pup, we cried like his litter mate naturally would. Onney is the gentlest 120 lb GSD baby! The softest touch with his teeth ALWAYS! ❤️
You did a good job! 👍
Love the name x
Even if you get a puppy from a litter its good to make those sounds when the puppy bites you(:
I have 2. Littermate males. Best friends ever. Highly trained as protection assets they are the smartest dogs by far. Gunny and Odie were instrumental in my recovery from PTSD as well as cancer. Nothing makes them more happy than getting to play "the knock down game" when dad comes home from work. "We knock him the deck and then smother with kisses"!
You are lucky man.
@@vinnyandrocky I most definitely am!
You remind me, my gsd had that age too. Time is never fair. He grows so fast- 7th years with him but he is still precious 💖.
This breed is the best they are loyal, easy to train and very versatile and agile with the right owner and correct traing and love they will lay dow their life and walk over hot coals for you, they expect the same loyality back from you. They are not with us long enough so make every day count and special for them. Yes there will be days when the weather is not good yuo dont want to go out, there will be times they may have the odd accident at home... it only a small amount of yur tikme to clean up... when youre down they will find the time to love you.
You nailed it. GSD are so smart and loyal that many people don't know about.
Love them forever amen I had a German shepherd when I was growing up love him forever
Love his ears! I’ve had two and they are absolutely precious….I think all doggies are. They have so much love and companionship to give….and at times will demand it! They bring so much joy to your life. They’re like little kids…curious and loving and demanding but offer so much. Hope y’all have a wonderful life…love and take care of each other! And YES he is a good boy!
Thank you so much. He is a good boy.
So you had 2 ears eh 😂
That is such a cute puppy ❤ i love German shepherds
❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ we all love you rocky
All dogs have broadly the same loyal and genuine character including strays. It's in their DNA.
What a cuddly rascal. I got my "Buddy" from an 11 litter, he was just 6 weeks old. It was too much for the mother and so all 11 were bottle-fed and the replacement "mother" was at the edge of her strength. He has developed very well and we have learned a lot from each other. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, I still have his puppy teeth and have done so for 20 years.
Nice you still have all the beautiful memories.🙂
Your German Shepherd puppy is adorable. Many happy and healthy years with him.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪🦴🦴🦴
Thank you so much.🥰
One thing about having GSD's is, you'll never be alone again 🥲
This puppy is so much like my boy Ricky ,he came to us as an unwanted xmas gift we got him new years day,for the next ten years he was my baby my guardian and best friend, I would give my right arm to have him back still miss him every day,
i remember when my boy was young like this, love
gsds.
Seriously cute, strong, loving and fun. Requires training. Serious training and socializing. I can’t live without a GSD.
Beautiful pup my grandma raised us on German shepherds and we had our own at Home greatest dog we ever had. Haven’t had one in 10 yrs I think it’s time for a puppy. Thanks for the video.
Siempre es tiempo de tener un pastor alemán!! Una casa no es un hogar sin uno
Thank you for watching. 🥰
