New German Shepherd Puppy..

[BMatt]

I've always wanted a dog, so I decided to finally get one.

I got him when he was 9 weeks, he's about 12 weeks right now. I got him from a local puppy rescue shelter that saves puppies from across the United States, he was saved from South Carolina.

I named him Triton. They said he was solely German Shepherd, but I think he has some lab in him. Any misc dog experts?

Obligatory pics.. any tips brahs? I already have him house-trained, taught him how to sit, and lay down, but that's it.

First pic is him at the puppy adoption event when we got him.. rocking a pumpkin costume.



He sits on your lap while you drive, and honks the horn when he sees people lol. Srs.



The rest of the pictures are from him over the last few weeks.

Good job rescuing him from a shelter.

Say no to breeders. The worst thing to ever happen to dogs in America are breeders.

Keep training consistent brah. Don't let him sleep on the bed, and teach him how to walk without pulling (use treats, stop, this might take a while.. youtube/google.com)

[santana77]

wow im jealous. amazing looking dog brah. treat it well and train its ass off.

[umadphaggot]

mirin super hard, I am a huge german shepherd owner/fanatic

enjoy your time with him to the fullest. If you love a dog, he will love you back unconditionally. Simple as that.

He doesn't look purebred to me, nice dog but if i were to get a german shephard i would order one from a breeder in Germany

Yeah I'm working on that right now.. he's not pulling too bad anymore. I just give him a treat anytime he's walking in the heel position, and I think he's grasping it lol. If he pulls, I just stop walking and wait for him to stop.

Now if I could just curb the nipping lol. He enjoys finger-tips.

Right because getting a dog that has been screened for decades for diseases and thus lowering their chances of getting them,from a reputable breeder is so bad....i want to know my dogs bloodline, and with i good breeder i know i am getting a dog with the best genetics possible.

See above post.. I think he has some lab in him. Not sure though.

Also, I'm a college student and don't have an extra $2,000-$3,000 for a purebred. I also liked the idea of rescuing a dog.

[ShxtIsWeak]

You can probably pull so much ass with that puppy.

There was a $200 adoption fee. Included in that were his first rounds of shots, and his neutering procedure at 6 months.
