I breed German Shepherds, this is absolutely horrifying and disgusting that someone could do something like this.

[LottieDah]

People beat and kill their own flesh and blood. It does not surprise me that they do this to animals too. Just a horrible turn of events.

[ottbmare]

It’s horrible and disgusting no matter what breed of dog it was, whether it was a cat, a horse, a hamster. I doubt this was done by a competitor, because dog-show people are crazy but not that crazy. Might have been some kind of warning about drugs, money owed, a romantic or sexual relationship, vengeance of some kind, but probably not about the show ring.

Times like this, I’m glad I believe in hell.

How do you steal a dog out of a fenced front yard, was he on a chain.

[I still care]

The owner feels that someone killed the dog because they had a problem with the owner.

Creeps like that are not that hard to catch, when people decide they want to catch them. They usually can’t keep their mouths shut, and this is the kind of case animal lovers tend to dwell on.

Awhile ago a pit bull killed my cat. The PETA lady a couple of blocks away is still furious over it. She actually told me she was going to get a gun permit! in case she sees that dog and “feels threatened” by it again.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I never let my dogs out of my sight, except when they are in the fenced-in back yard.

There are sick people out there.

Allow me to ask a question I guarantee the police are also asking:

Was this prize-winning, champion Shepherd insured?

If so, for how much and to which beneficiaries?

[Las Vegas Ron]

I'm a German Shepard lover my self. I hope Hex got a few dozen pieces of his assailants.

[trisham]

It is horrifying.

[RitchieAprile]

the butler did it.

[Liberty Valance]

That was great looking dog.

RIP Hex

I love German Shepherds.
I would start looking for the local wife or kid abusers.
Or some druggie that got caught by a dog.

I am saving to buy a German Shepherd form LEO Dog DNA.
I want one soooooooooooooooo bad. I have never got over losing my beloved Heidi.

GERMAN SHEPHERD PING LIST

This is a low-volume list………so don’t worry!

(Please Freep-mail me if you’d like to be on or off the list.)

Back in the 80’s when I lived in FL, my G-ma gave us her German Shepherd because she couldn’t handle him. We later gave him to a cop my dad knew in Dade City.

Poor Shane was killed execution style. I don’t remember if the scum bags were caught.

That was probably my first knowledge that people could hurt innocent animals to get revenge.

[the OlLine Rebel]

How horrific. What a shame. God bless him and his owners.

Very much a Schutzhund dog, European type (likely mostly Czech):
