I’m in the process of adopting a 6ish week old puppy from a rescue that would be able to go home mid December. While I’m fairly certain it’s a German Shepherd, I’m wondering what are the chances it’s a Belgian instead. Don’t have anything against the breed but have wanted a GSD for a really long time and honestly think compared to them, a Belgian’s energy level and requirements would be too much for us.

That being said, I can see a few pics on the web about Belgians at a similar age and a couple of them are very similar to this pup. But at the same time, actual GSD pups look like it too. Is there a way to distinguish between the two at a young age?

This is my (turning 2 years old in February) sweet pup. He sleeps in all kinds of silly/funny positions, but when he sleeps like this I think it’s so angelic 😇 show off your pup sleeping like an angel 🥰

Time for bed and here he is… can you relate?

Love him soo much just had to share

What did your German shepherd whine about today?

I have a 10y/o GSD rescue, Raider. I've had him for a couple of years now, and he is absolutely the goodest boy. Anyway, today I took him to the feed store, and a lady there called him a Rex, saying she had one that is nearly identical. I've heard the term before in reference to him, but I don't know what that means and Google isn't much use on this. I don't know if it's relevant, but he's a very large GSD, at right about 200lbs. Anyway, here he is with his girlfriend, (they're both fixed. Don't down vote me!) Ripley, who is MalxGSD.

We have a 2 year old pure bred German Shepherd. And every time I go to fill my water bottle ( we have a filtering pitcher) he positions himself up against my back side like he is protecting me. I don’t mind it, it’s just he only does this with me and no one else. He is technically my parents’ dog, but I live with them. I am purely curious as to why.

I want to preface this by saying that I am going to schedule a vet appointment. I just would like some advice on what could be going on. September just turned 4 this year and is fully housebroken. Over the past couple of weeks, she’s been having accidents where she pees in the house. I let her out often, and thought well maybe limit the amount of water before I leave the house or go to bed at night. I still found it odd because she’s never had any accidents since being a few months old. This evening, she was sleeping in her usual spot by the front door and I faintly smelled pee. I brushed it off because I am sick and my nose is kind of stopped up on one side. She gets up to walk over to me and I see a puddle. I immediately start crying because I realized she wasn’t peeing in the house on purpose. I’m so scared that something is wrong. I do not want to lose my best friend.

Hey all! As we all know, German Shepherds shed heavily about twice a year for 6 months at a time and it’s a little too in my clothes. For years I haven’t minded but with my new job, I’d like a little less of my fur baby everywhere I go.

I have the Scotch Brite sticky lint rollers (or whatever it’s called) which usually works but it hasn’t been real effective in fleece jackets. I’m considering getting that’s fur catchers for washing machines and dryers. Anyone have any suggestions?

Somewhere in those autumn leaves is a near 10yo (but still sprightly) Alsatian honestly
