Barongsd, what beautiful pics!! It's funny, I lost my GSD three months ago and wasn't sure I wanted another GSD just yet(but I do want another BP), but I swear this week I have seen more GSD's around than I've seen in the last year and a half that I've lived in this area!! I saw one in petsmart and talked to his owner for awhile, and I've seen 2-3 walking in the neighborhood!! And now your post!! Everytime I see one my chest drops, but it makes me want one more and more!! Oh, and about the shedding, as I've said mines been gone 3 months and I still find some of his hair in the house and in my car!! Welcome back to the board, enjoy!!
