If you don't mind my asking, what rescue did you go through? We have one too, and he loves my girls. He doesn't have a pedigree, but he's excessively smart, and an amazing watch/guard dog for the girls. I'll post pics in the morning when I get home.Originally Posted by SeriousStudent
What a good girl!
I have a GSD rescue who is a wonderful dog. He was abandoned, but is my best buddy today.
No matter how crappy my day is, I'm always laughing after I get home and we start to play.
His rear hips are pretty bad now, and he's old. What have people done to help with older dogs with bad hips?

We lost Rommel very tragically last spring. The house still isn't the same without him. He was as gentile as he was vicious. I really miss him.

The rescue agency was me. I was walking my Black Lab years ago, and heard a barely audible whimper on the other side of a back yard fence. I thought it was a child who had been injured playing in the yard of an abandoned home. Instead it was my new best friend, Bubba.
He was down to 44 pounds, and had apparently survived on bugs, rodents and rainwater. The doctors at the vet hospital wanted to put him down, saying there was no way he would recover.
I took a week off from work, giving him IV fluids for three days. After four days he could stand, and after a week he could walk. That was about three and a half years ago.
He's back up to 92 pounds, and is inseparable. He's my best friend.
He either sleeps at the foot of my bed every night, or in doorway to the guest room when my granddaughter is in my home.
Like all of us, past injuries and medical history is catching up with him. He's not as spry as he used to be. But still inseparable.

Doing some aggressor / wrap training with the pup. At 70lbs, she is able to knock my nephew into the air if he doesn't brace right. In this picture, she also hit him in the groin, which seemed to bother my nephew more than it bothered her...

Awesome shot!
I could never get my boy interested in bite work which is interesting given his lineage. He's a little too sensitive I guess. My girl doesn't have his obedience levels but will agitate easily. She's a little bit too much of a free spirit.

Not a meme but you get the idea... Wife was out of town so had to illustrate what was going on back home!

Awesome! If you're ever interested, I can get you some contact info for a rescue that specialized in GSD (and mixed) rescues. I used to work with the guy, and they are good people.The rescue agency was me. I was walking my Black Lab years ago, and heard a barely audible whimper on the other side of a back yard fence.
