Bear (the GSD) update!

[Pearl]

Need to take some new pics! So my Bear is almost 6 1/2 months old and 70 pounds! So glad his neutering is behind us. He can enjoy his pool again, and he is loving the bigger yard I made for him! Except the hot fence I ran around the top, he checked that out yesterday, he won't be thinking about a fence climb! He came to me on June 27th, not quite 5 months old, rescued from an 8×8 pen. Never had a collar on or been in a house! He loves his obedience training and quickly learned his commands, both verbal and hand signals! Pees on command, and never an accident in the house! After losing my wonderful Doberman I had set my mind on having to have an average dog. Never dreamed this amazing boy was coming my way!!

Love it. Every dog we have had has been a rescue. He's a German Shepard, right?

Yes, with a little Doberman on his daddy's side!!

If he's like the wolf/shepherds I used to have, he needs lots of space and lots of reinforcement as to his "pack status". great homestead/farm dogs. they'll run through fire for you! not too shabby as hunters either!

Yep, there is always a Dog, or cat, or both on the sofa, I never get to sit on it.

If he grows into his ears he will be!

Well, don't have to worry about Bear not wanting to go if it's raining or storming. BUT, he wants to play in the mud and puddles instead if doing his business! Put Princess's rain coat on him and took him out on a leash to get it done!! Will take a pic shortly!!

 

[Pearl]

He won't stay still for a better picture!!

That’s sweet! At least he isn’t posing dumb. Our dog stands like it is complete embarrassment if we try to put dog clothes on her, I think she acts dumb with the halter sometimes too. Hates the rain!!!!

He looks a lot like mine !! Only bigger, but mine is only 3 months
You can't tell by looking at him that he is anything but German Shepherd

This was his first clothes experience! My Princess (Dobe) LOVED her sweaters and coats! I was surprised he was so tolerant!

I was going to say the same thing! Wait til the other dogs see him, neighbor dog, etc. LOL
We tried putting something on the dog to keep her dry but she would rather I walk out in the yard with her, with an umbrella, or no go! She will hold it for hours to wait for the rain to lessen. What a goober.
You're lucky Bear will go out, keep getting him out there while it's raining!

 

[Pearl]

My Doberman hated going out in the rain, unless she had her raincoat!! BUT, she would try to follow me into the shower, she loved a bath!!

 

[Peanut]

Funny, my pup loves the cow pond or a creek but thinks the shower is a punishment.

Bear likes anything "water"! He has pools in his front and back yards, digs in his outside water bowls, and LOVED the puddles today!! And yes, his ears are huge!!

 

[Pearl]

Time for a bigger bed!!

My boy in his raincoat!!

Bear picked up a neat thing, if he gets a toy out of his toy box he puts the one he's been playing with back in it!! Had a Golden Retriever that did that!!

At the rate he's growing you may need to sew two together.
