Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire German Shepherds: any opinions?

I didn't know it was valuabel but I knew it was one exceptional looking dog.

Judging from the appearance, there is no doubt the dog came from honest-to-God working lines...and they cost a bundle....

Would have been some high dollar stew, eh?!


Still has his nads.

Sammo..I'm not kidding...if you went to one of the aforementioned breeders in this thread, he would run about $2500..as an untrained pup...

anybody know anything about these people? Surprise az is not far from me

Yep...a little...the father of my next dog I posted earlier is from those lines name is Body-Jipo-Me...

Their affiliation with Alpine is a good thing too, cause Alpine has a good name in working dogs...

Don't know what you are looking for, but these are not pets..they are working dogs, and you'll need to do something with them to keep up to them...

Yowza!


I would really like to know just where he came from, of course around here who knows.


How old before he starts barking and defending his turf? Seems like most random pups need to be at least a year old before they show any 'mean'. Guessing Bowser is 9-10 months old now.

Any time now...might be good to not let him bark...then again, many take it upon themselves to be quiet when a stranger approaches...they learn barking scares them off...meaning they won't get the chance for any close-range intimidation

Laughin'!


Our old heeler dog would lay under the pickup and come smokin' out snappin' and growlin' and scare the chit outta people. Actually put a little bite on Grandma one day. She wasn't impressed but my dad thought it was fine....grin

Bowser very rarely barks. His hair stands up on end and he gets worked up when the yotes howl around though. He's already faster than hell at 3/4 throttle, really long stride. Don't think a yote would stand much of a chance if Bowser caught one out in the open.

Remember this Sammo...bird dogs like to [bleep] with birds...


GSDs like to [bleep] with people ....

Sweet!

Had a neighbor years back who had a BIG Bouvier that was just like that. "Ted" was a coooool dog, and knew he was badass.

Bouviers can be badass...faux shaux!

This one got his teeth into an intruder..

Certified neighborhood hero.

Gotta love that!

Guy hopped onto a balcony and went into a sliding door. Ted let him get in about ten feet before he started tuning the guy up. At least that's where the blood and bits of clothes started. We all figured ted was peeking around the corner just waiting for him to get in far enough to ensure success.

A pard's GSD did something similar in Houston...

Dog at home, doing her job...guarding the house...bad guy breaks ground floor window...dog waits quietly..

Bad buy sticks his head in...120 lb GSD grabs him by the face and pulls him inside for a thorough azz-kicking. Blood and schitt everywhere, coffe table shattered, glass busted etc...
bad guy manages to get away...

My pard comes home, finds a REALLY happy dog and a REALLY big mess and calls the cops....the perp was quickly found in the local ER...checked in for repairs

I got an education once about protection trained dogs - one year at a gun show in Dallas, they had an area where some trainers were showing the training routines. Out comes a Giant Schnauzer, black, with the foo-foo haircut, cheerfully greeting the crowd, being petted by strangers, then he's led into the roped off area and on command chews the heck out of the guy in the bite suit. Several people were staring with mouths open, as they were just petting this dog that was now a serious fighting machine. After he was called off, he was back to being a lovable dog. Very impressive, but he still looked foo-foo.

Dats what we call an "on/off" switch in the biz...a good dog has it...




Frinstance...I had this dog kickin' my azz on the Schutzhund field and ten minutes later, inside on the couch, she is shoving some ridiculous stuffed toy in my face, trying to get me to play

Somehow I'm reminded of Richard Pryor's Doberman..."You can't leave now, I want to PLAY"
