If that picture isn't proof of proper breeding and proper care for German Shepherd's I don't know what is.
That picture is highly amusing.
All dogs should be lucky enough to have wide-open spaces like that to roam.
That is a pretty dog but I don't think he's a German Shepherd, not a full one. Maybe lab shepherd cross. But that's OK, mutts are the best. No offense German shepherdsView attachment 143823
This is my friend DJ with his just-over-a-year-old white German shepherd. His ears never stood up, haha! Moose is very very much a lap and snuggle dog.
