Just reserved our puppy - link to parent's pics added!!

Okay, not wanting to "steal" pics off their website, I've added links:

Jax's (and the new yet-to-be-whelped pup) sire is Ziggy:

(By the way, Ziggy's cock-eyed ear is not congenital

)

The new pup's dam is Chrystel:

Chrystel is Babette's sister. Babette is Jax's dam. Luzi is the grandmother (dam of Chrystel and Babette).

Some of the pups that Ziggy has sired:

The pups are due December 7th. We'll be traveling to Texas shortly after that to pick ours.

The new pup's name will be Zeus, unless we change our minds between now and then.

We are busy socializing Jax with as many dogs as we can in preparation of the day we bring our new baby home.

Oh boy oh boy! I missed this thread 'till now! How exciting! How wonderful!

I like the expression in Chrystel's face. She looks calm and confident and I like dark eyes and lots of pigment. The Dad's dark sable is beautiful!

I am so happy for you

and green with envy!

Gotta remember a good dog isn't color dependent. I chose Bill and I don't like blues but he had a great temperment, so I got him anyway.

Gritsar, to what part of Texas are you coming?

I know and we are going to have to keep reminding ourselves of that. We call Jax our stealth dog. In the dark, he completely disappears.
I'll get new pics of Jax posted asap.
The breeder is in Jefferson, Texas. They have agreed to let us bring Jax, so long as he stays in our jeep. They are interested in seeing how he's turned out.

Oh, Jefferson is a GREAT town!

If you have time, go in to Jefferson proper, or old town, and look around. I have been there a couples of times and always enjoyed it. Sadly it is about 4 hours from us, depending on how much I speed, or I would come by and bother you.

We have two female german sheperds and they have to be seperated at all times (; i just skimmed the conversation but thats what your talking about right?

One outside dog
The Other is and inside dog.

Wow, those are some handsome dogs!

As much as I love the breed, I don't think I could have 15 adults running around with the subsequent litters. LOL Way too much of a good thing! LOL

No, actually we started out talking about our future pup, a brother for Jax. We're going into this with our eyes wide open, ready to deal with any issues that pop up.
