And a Shepard is one of the most devoted dogs around. I’m thinking of getting a Belgian Malinois which is a smaller version of a Shepard, very devoted.
Oooh! How much smaller? Indoor-only, small enough for lounging on the sofa together? I think German Shepherds are just freaking gorgeous and smarter than most of the people I work with on a daily basis. I want one. I just don’t think one would be a good fit with my current cast of elderly cats.
I made a promise to my adopted pets they wouldn’t have to worry, as I would be caring for them for the remainder of their days. So, I will have to admire from afar. Sigh.

Our German shepherd rescue saves about 5-10 per year and we commonly refer to them as mallinuts and mallingators due to their high prey drive and endless energy. We adopt them out only to experienced shepherd owners.
An absolutely beautiful animal. I actually think the coloring is even more beautiful than the G.S. If you get one, please post pictures.
