he is very smart
he is sweet and he is a mamas boy
That's one of my favorites.
The last dog I owned was a German Shepherd mix too. At least that's what we were told when my Mom took us to look at the puppies. The people owned the mother, a cattle dog called a Blue Healer. I wanted a good watch dog because someone broke into the house and stole almost everything I had. I wanted a big strong breed that would be trainable protection dog.
They are a strong, very intelligent herder, but only small/ medium sized and long hair.
The owner's said they thought the father was a German Shepherd so I was hopeful. GS have long hair too. The pup I got didn't have long hair though. As it grew, it looked like a Shepherd in the face, but had partially floppy ears that dropped half way and perked up when he was listening.
His coat was very short. He was very muscular and strong. I'm wondering if there are short haired German Shepherds or perhaps the father was a Belgian Malinois? They look so similar.
I wasn't sure what he would grow up to be like, so I gave him a very masculine and intimidating name.
