Possible New Addition *4 pics*

This is Spike, a 2yr old GSD. Only have a few mins on the internet so not enough time to tell you his story, but his family are looking to rehome him due to family problems and he may be coming to live with me! :)

Here he is:

Isn't he a handsome boy? I'm meeting him Wednesday. So excited, hope everything works out! From what his Mommy's told me so far he seems well socialised (he's been brought up with 4 kids and friendly with other dogs) knows basic obedience and loves EVERYONE, he sounds like a great boy. Will be taking my camera Wednesday so more pics/update then!

Quick question for people with GSD experience; is there anything health/tempermant wise I should be looking out for? I know GSD's are prone to hip dysplasia, anything else I should be looking for? Thanks, I'll let y'all know how it goes!

Amy :)

I have no GSD experience but just wanted to pop in and tell you that he is a very handsome boy. I hope it works out and you get to take him in. Maybe its just me but he looks a bit skinny so give that boy an extra meal from me please;)

His Mom said pretty much the same thing to me. Quote from her email:

he's a bit on the thin side, but he eats well so I think that's just Spike ...

I won't know until I see him, but from the pics she's sent me he certainly seems healthy, Toby gets pretty skinny sometimes and he eats like a horse so maybe it's just his metabolism ... it can be hard to tell from the pics anyway, so I'll know better on Wednesday ... can't wait!

What a handsome young boy! Good luck with your visit Wed!

he's gorgeous!! i wouldnt worry about his weight, he looks good!
its better for him to be on the leaner side, most GSD's are like that

Spike is going to be 3 on Jan 17 (13 days before my birthday!). It's nice to know his history and be able to see his parents. I don't know much of Toby or Squid's history, but Spikes current family have had him since he was a puppy, so they know everything about him :)

I have been emailing back and forth with his Mom all day, she is so devastated to be getting rid of him, definitely not your average 'got no time/cant be bothered with him anymore' case. She is going to miss him so much, and has already requested weekly updates/pics.

Wish Wednesday would hurry up and get here ... :rolleyes:

WOW! he's BEAUTIFUL!!! :eek: :D

he's gorgeous! congratulations - hopefully it will work out for you :)

He is so gorgeous! I really like the last picture with the stick. His weight looks good to me. I wish I had that problem with my dogs (not gaining weight) ... but I have to worry about them getting fat :(

Beautiful pup! :D

Oh, he's adorable! I love the last pic. Good luck, I hope you get him.

Thanks everyone!

Why when you're looking forward to something does time always seem to slow right down?! :rolleyes:

Roll on Wednesday!

He's adorable! GSDs are protective and loyal. Congrats on your new addition! :)
