Luna went to her new home this weekend and she is so happy! She fit right in and is so loved by her new owner. 😊
I couldn’t be happier with the people she went to.

Well Luna got to meet the cat. We have this kitten (under 6 mo old) and she fairly regularly attacks the dogs. They seem to enjoy playing with her. This is Luna’s first encounter.

Please share. Looking for her perfect people.

**EDIT** Luna is no longer available! She now has a great home with people who adore her.

Our beautiful Luna is coming back home today and is now AGAIN available - no fault of her own.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST so we can find her perfect people.

They picked her up yesterday after her spay. They called me this morning saying that it’s just not going to work out.

Why??? What happened??

Nothing happened. She was mopey and she refused food. In a new place. After major surgery. Not even a full 24 hours in her new home.

We have a pretty big announcement that comes with some mixed feelings. This has been a year of change and loss for us.

Waldo German Shepherd dogs is hanging up the breeder hat - at least for a time, maybe permanently.

We had decided to retire Hanna after her last litter, and had two up and coming potential females. Both have failed their health testing, leaving us without a breed worthy female at this time.

We may at some point in the future decide to start over, but at this time we are no longer breeding.

Thank you for your years of love and support!
We appreciate each and every one of you.

THIS!!!
Dogs really do excel when they’re allowed to be dogs.
Please, please don’t ruin your dog’s chances by trying to make it be your baby.
We love our dogs. They get tons of attention and love. They are still dogs. Not people.

Having been a veterinarian for almost 3 decades, I have seen the tide of how animals are treated change drastically. When I graduated dogs were dogs, now dogs are considered to be higher ranking than people. In our crazy world, people love their dogs more than they love their own families and they treat their dogs better than they treat other humans and I am sorry to say that we are destroying our dogs mental health because of it.

It is increasingly common to go into an exam room and have a dog that is growling at me and trying to bite and the owner is petting it telling it that it is a good dog. It is NOT being a good dog and it should not be rewarded for growling and trying to bite. It is important that we train our dogs properly and we use right language with them. Never is it ok for a dog to growl and try and bite in an exam room where nothing horrible is happening to them and feeding into that behavior does not make it better for your dog, it trains them that their fear is a good thing and it is not.

Mental disorders are exponentially increasing in our dogs and it is us owners fault. Please stop treating your dog like it is some fragile child and start treating it like it is a dog. TRAIN them and teach them commands and correct them when they are wrong and stop thinking you are going to hurt their feelings if you do. Dogs are dogs, not small humans. They need training and proper instructions or it leads to horrible anxiety issues in them and I can assure that that behavior is going to hurt your feelings way more than being an adult and training your dog to be a good dog instead of a spoiled child.

The following are a few copied excerpts from an article that I read this morning from a dog trainer. I feel like there are a good reminder for all of us on exactly what are dogs are and what they need.

"Your dog is a dog, not a human child. Constant unearned affection is a killer and creates an unhealthy addiction for both dog and owner. Your dog will love you unconditionally but will never respect you unless you give it reason to.

The most basic of basics, your dog must learn how to be still in any situation. If your dog can’t be still around any distraction, you will never have control.
Recall
Sit
Down
Walk nicely on leash
Out, meaning release anything in your mouth

You MUST have a language dedicated to your dog that your dog can learn by you being consistent and applying meaning to the words you use. Your dog MUST know what yes means, but also MUST know what NO means. If nothing comes after those words, yes equals reward for good, no equals correction for bad, your dog will never give meaning to either. Your dog’s name is not a command, or correction. NO should not be your dog’s middle name.

The training starts the second you bring the dog home."
