Mine's 10-1/2. She's had the hip surgery...and the arthritis is JUST starting to set in a bit. Not bad, but a bit.
I'll get another one. In a HEART beat.
I'll betcha yours did die with a smile on his face. These dogs are THE best...
Yah...if I ever get into a place that will support a big dog, I'll get another German shepherd. I love dogs, but the Gs is a real DOG! There is no other breed like it.
