New GSD Pup

[scottee]

Heya.

Thought i'd share a pic of my new GSD pup Ari. He is 8 weeks old, and from a working german line. On both lines there a number of SchH2 and SchH3 dogs.

He'll be trained as a SchH dog as he gets older.

He's gorgeous - love them.

Can I ask what A SchH / SchH2 and 3 are pls?

Hiya kelk. SchH is short for Schutzhund. Its a dog sport where a dog is tested tracking, obedience and protection work.

I am hoping that hes going to turn out like his granddad Nikonis Yago who is SchH2, he looks amazing

He's a lovely looking little chap.

But why are they breeding them to have such low rear ends? Seen a few at shows recently and they look like there is something wrong with them. What am I missing?

[Rollcage]

I think it's more a pose of the dog for show purposes, rather than a stance.

They should look like this IMO, but I would say that!

[Rollcage]

Forgot to say, lovely pup.

awwwwwww lovely lil fella!!

Jasandjules, the rear quarter is more the show pose rather than the angle being bred in. I need to dig out some non-show pics of his dad.

As expected Ari is being a handful, but thats good. He has a very high prey drive, so hes always hanging off my jeans or running around with a jute or tug in his mouth waiting to play. I forgot how much hard work raising a GSD pup was, and its only our 2nd day. In all fairness, my misses has never owned a dog before, and shes been great with him!

Thanks - he was mine,yes. Sadly died in 2009. He was a star, and I miss him and my female GSD every day. It's lovely to see pics of pups just starting out on their (and your!) journey in life.

Millie reminds me of this dog.



Sorry, had to do that!
