i'm going to have to learn how to post pics. your dog is beautiful. our sam black w/ a little light wheat on his belly, he's a great specimen of gsd. he's on the big side, so i hope that doesn't play against him when he gets older. he's two now & weighs a little over 100#. we got a companion female, she's one now. their birthdays are a few days apart. she's not such a great specimen. the breeder really took us to the cleaners. but she serves her purpose in giving him companionship and she's a sweet dog. she killed 10 of my chickens about a month ago. needless to say, i wasn't too happy about that.
i'm thinking seriously about getting a couple of goats. i think she will be good for keeping tabs on them. she just needs some maturity.



















We have his daughter who look EXACTLY like him, she is only 7 months old and is as tall as her mom, but much more stout. They are all DDR lines, so big bonded and a strong prey drive, which has it's pluses and minuses. The daughter is good with the chickens, but then again she was raised with them on the property. As for mom and dad, they never meet chickens until the were both a couple of years old and chickens to them are prey. So when I let the chickens out to free range, I lock up mom and dad in kennels. They have a 5 foot pen that they normally stay in, but I know they can jump it so it is not worth the risk.
