I have been checking out the forum since my new GSP came home in December.  The different topics have helped me learn a lot about the breed.  My pup is not a hunter.  I am part of the crowd with an active family and wanted a dog that could keep up.  Since everyone seems to ask for pics, I thought I would try to upload a few.  Thanks again for the info.

Home at 9 weeks.

12 weeks

Playing with my friends GSD at about 18 weeks

Resting at the park about 6 months

Hanging with his girlfriend.  Funny how they seem to find each other.

What a gorgeous pup - must be around the same age as Keely nearly 8months?

We are always wanting to see pictures . . . nice looking puppy.

I live near New Orleans in Mandeville.  I work occasionally in New Orleans and train with some people from Metairie and New Orleans.  My GSPs jog with me and we compete in obedience and agility.  I don't run into too many people that have GSPs here . . . so many people think they are dalmations, or catahoulas, but rarely do they know it is a German Shorthair.

I do not hunt either and once tried to take mine for a walk in Audubon Park while my daughter was a junior zookeeper at Audubon Zoo . . . never again.  Too many squirrels and ducks and assortment of birds there.  So while I do not hunt, they have the natural ability to point birds and chase furry animals.  I had to stay over at the levee by the Mississippi river while she did her volunteer work there!
