109. Libby & Kimber teh GSDs

Submitted by: Deborah The black GSD is Libby, she will be 7 in September and comes from a great kennel specializing in SAR & K9 dogs. She is a great tracker and is always “on” and ready for the next adventure! Libby is the slow and methodical tracker while Kimber is the rocket launcher searcher. Of course they both are willing to take a “break” with their favorite toy – logs – and the bigger the better. Everyone that meets Libby comments on how beautiful she is and we agree – Yes maybe we are just a tad biased!!! The lighter GSD is Kimber and she will be 2 in September. Her mother is Libby’s sister and her dad is a retired K-9 from Portland Police Bureau. Besides being down right gorgeous – yes, again we are a little biased but everyone agrees with us! – she is a tracking whiz. We have tried everything to stump her and so far no luck. We are going to ramp up her SAR training this year. She definitely has the K9 attitude – she is all business but she also has a definite goofy side. Both dogs are incredible athletes and very social. They are our pride and joys!

110. Tyson

Submitted by: Kara L I don’t know if this type of picture is acceptable, but as I looked through picture of our old guy Tyson I love them all! My daughter put this together the night we decided that it was time to let him move on and be pain free. I am including what both of wrote to go with it. Saturday June 1, 2013 RIP Tyson D. Snyder. You were the best dog any one could ask for. The past 11 years have been an adventure. Going from a dog who would play tug a war to tying for first place in county fair, to every judge saying you where to fat to be a show dog but still strutting around the ring like a champion. Scaring the crap out of me and making me laugh till I cried. God knows I will miss you, but we will meet again. To the loyalist friend ever. Love, your girl! Monday June 3, 2013 Tonight I tried to vacuum up the remnants of his fur, it sucked. He was shedding so bad the past few weeks I was amazed of how much there was from just a couple of days. It was his time to go, god I miss him. When we had Buddy, Shannon and Tyson I always had the black triangle of protection... or they all figured I would droop something good sometime and they better be close by. It was his time to go, he was well spoiled and spoiled me well also. When you kids were little I could always count on him to be by your sides. I never worried about my past trying to sneak back and hurt one of you. Tyson gave me peace of mind where that was concerned. He had a mean bark and I am sure he would have gotten in the way of anything trying to hurt any of us. I use to open the door and ask him where his boy or girl was and he was by your sides in a min. Even when Jackson would wonder outside the wireless fence Tyson would be beside him twitching. He was with his boy. He was an awesome dog. He taught me a lot about how to be a good dog guardian. Oh our new vet is amazing!!! I could not have asked for a more caring and comforting doctor to help us end his pain. He came to our house on a Saturday afternoon after his clinic closed. When Tyson was gone I looked up and the vet was leaving. He knew we were upset and had a burial plan and left us to take care of it. No mention of payment or bill. Jackson even commented on that. Very impressive and caring.

144. Greta the Weimeraner

Submitted by: Shawn H Dog: Greta Age: 2 years Greta is her owner's first dog and it's been a cool experience training her. We trained her with no food, no e-collar, and no prong collar although I certainly don't have a problem using any of those tools. Training Greta was an exercise in learning to 'speak dog' better - and that had the side effect of being able to get Greta off-leash trained with little effort. Dispite what "they" say about Weimies being 'bad around small animals' and 'excitable' Greta responded to her training by becoming very calm, and very obedient around cattle, cats, other dogs, strangers, etc. So much for what "they" say ... It was your DVDs on pack structure and leadership that I turned to most often when I needed to figure something out ... thanks!

She would not always come for me so I would “call” for my son Eoin to call her in. All he had to do was call here name from anywhere in side and she would come running. Because of this routine when I call “Sophie come!” and she hesitates, I now call the name “Eoin” and she darts right in…haha. Sophie is my first GSD and she has been a pleasure to train and love. This is my FAVORITE picture of her thus far :) I hope you like it! Photo 2: This a picture of my boy Ulrich at 10 months. He is A stunning boy! He has a zest for life and is always happy happy.

She is a dog that truly loves to work and doesn't let a little thing like cataracts bring her down or let it interfere with her job, she is now retired due to the cataracts causing partial blindness but you'd never know it by watching her work and play. Brava is my working dog in training, she's been doing Schutzhund, French Ring, agility and Explosive detection and like most Mals loves to work.

194. Diz the Malinois

Submitted by: Brett K This is my dog Diz (mal). One is a black and white of Diz running, the second is Diz sniffing her first echidna, the echidna just had to wriggle a bit and Diz would get spiked in the nose, funny to watch. Diz is a 2 and a bit year old female Mal, and one awesome dog. Diz and I live in Canberra, Australia. I have had Diz since she was 8 weeks old and she has been with me 24/7 since the day I got her (bar the 10hrs / 2 visits, to the vet).

196. Black Wolf's Midnight Warrior

Submitted by: Lori T This is Black Wolf's Midnight Warrior. He'll be nine in October and I've had him since he was six weeks old. He's definition of "best dog ever" and the kind of ideal dog anyone with a brain would be proud to have. He's the most stable in temperament canine I've ever had the pleasure to share company with and his instincts are amazing. He's calm and cool with my grandchildren, he can be exposed to anyone new without a hint of nervousness or anxiety, he's comfortable in new situations and always brave and fearless without being aggressive. I would swear he understands the english language. One of my proudest moments was when a certified therapy dog trainer told me what an awesome, good dog Warrior is and said "I would be glad to take him home with me". He's beautiful, smart and very worthy a gracing the pages of any calendar or catalog.
