Congratulations! I had a GSD named Petey and he really was the best dog ever. He was very easy to train and good with cats, kids and dogs. He came to our vet clinic as a four month old pup with hip dysplasia so bad one hip wasn't even in the socket. His future looked very grim. We did a salvage surgery on him and I kept him on the very lean side and he lived 6 years! he was a great dog. The only thing he ever did was when I would run, he'd nip me on the butt. Never anyone else, just me. lol
