Possible New Addition *4 pics*

I am in love! What a cutie. Duke is part German Shepherd and he's got some of the hip problems. Actually, they started at a pretty young age, too. I think he was around 3. But, he didn't start needing meds until around age 6, I believe. I know they're very good protectors and watch dogs. We'll look forward to more pics and good luck!

Thanks everyone!

24 hours to go until I meet him. Has possibly been the slowest 2 days of my LIFE. Seriously.

First of all... OMG He is gorgeous!!!

When I first got Sierra at 6 months she was skinny and never seemed to gain weight no matter how much she ate, what kind of food... etc. After speaking to my vet and watching how she did for a little while longer (she was still young) they decided to test her for Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, somewhat common is GSD's.
Here's a link:

Her blood work came back normal, so I just kept on feeding her and feeding her.... then we adopted Buddy, and he was skinny (only 70 lbs) so we were spending just as much on dog food with 2 skinny GSD's in the house as we were on food for ourselves!!
Eventualy Buddy got to an ideal weight for him of 90lbs, you can still easily see and feel his ribs, but a GSD on the lighter side is better then an overweight one!! Then there is Sierra.... she's 4 years old now and people still ask me if she's sick because she's skinny.
My vets are happy with the way she is because ... that's just the way she is! Her metabolism is just fast!
The one thing GSD's need is a job!! They need to have something to do!
Even if it's going for a walk with a pack filled with water bottles!
My problem was that when I adopted Buddy I didn't give a job, so he found a (not so nice) job. Protecting our yard with his life. As good as that may sound to an extent, he went overboard. He will not allow other dogs in our yard, and our family and friends are fearful of him because of his actions when they are in our yard. We have been talking to behavioralists and are still working on fixing the problems I let happen. Bad Angie.... Bad Girl!!
Good Luck!! Wednesday is almost here!!!
