Our new pup

[chadk]

Here are some pics of our new pup, Chelsea. This is my wife's dog.

She's been wanting a GSD since her beloved german shepherd died about 10 years ago. Brittany was such an amazing Dog. When we got married and Brittany came to live with us, she quickly fell in love with me and practically worshiped the ground I walked on. I was clearly the Alpha in the family and she was very content with that. But she considered Becca as her pup. If you knew some of the background of Becca and things she went through growing up, you would realize how protective and sensitive Brittany is when it comes to Becca. So while she seemed to put me above Becca in the pack (Becca was a little jealous), Brittany always put Becca first when it came to protection. If I started wresting around with Becca in a fun way, and we started getting a little physical (totally in fun), it would not take long before I had a german shephard grabbing my arm in her mouth with a slight growl and look in her eyes that said I need to back off NOW. She would not bite down, just grab and warn me. It was simply amazing to see her stand up to the Alpha who she admired so much, but she did not hesitate to put her pup first when it mattered. She was a brilliant and well trained dog too. Becca worked hard with her as a teen and had some proffessional help in training. It was heart breaking when we finally had to put her down.

So now, after 10yrs, she has a new girl in her life and Becca is so happy.

She's so cute! And your previous GSD's story was heartrending and heartwarming! I hope this pup exceeds your expectations.

MY first thought was OMG PUPPY!! Thats Massive!!
But its a very cute GS!

She is going to be a big girl. Probably in the 100lb range like my white dog. She's almost 5months old now and ears are standing up better each day.

She's a smart little rascal and takes full advantage of our big softie Tennyson who is 2yrs old and still just a big puppy himself. Tennyson doesn't have a mean bone in his body and let's Chelsea clobber him. She makes quite the ferocious sound when she attacks him - she'll be a very intimidating and great protective dog when she gets bigger.

Training starts in full force this week. She has a natural tendancy to herd my goats and flock of chickens\ducks\geese, so we need to figure out how to harness that while not giving our poor pregnant goats a heart attack..

Aaawww...congratulations on the new puppy...another animal, just what your family needs!

Keep Dozer away from the poor thing or I see major confrontation upcoming...with neither party likely to back down!

Tennyson can give her the lowdown on sneaky Sulcatas!
