German Shepperds had always been my first love for dogs. I've had a couple since I was like 3. We also had a Great Dane. Cool dog.

My very best one was Kristine, my German Shepp girl. She was awesome. Super intelligent, loyal, awesome with kids, would absolutely tear up somebody on command, awesome guard dog, she was just plain awesome. We had her for 12 yrs. Cancer got her. I literally carried her into the vet's office and kissed her as she was being put down. Best dog in the world. I miss her a lot. Getting misty eyed just thinking about her.

We now have rescued mutts. They are awesome too, just wusses though. Big fat wusses. Gina, my black lab mix, is about 100 lbs and Roscoe, also black lab mix, is only about 45 lbs. We also have a Schnauzer indoor sissy dog named Cody, and my daughter's cat named Selena. All rescued animals. They are great. Not one single problem with them at all. I would not ever hesitate and actively promote to people to adopt a pet rather than go thru puppy mills and backyard shaddy dealers.

All puppies look cute and healthy. What's sad is when they get to be in their silver years and they are so pityful. It's sad.
