As a German Shepherd fan, this is rather embarrassing. The first GS in a century and this is what we get.
They are gorgeous dogs, BTW. Rarely do I see dogs so gorgeous amongst the hyper-fancier set, of any stripe.
I have to wonder where they’re getting these dogs and how they’re being raised. How did they pick them? I figured Major was probably a pound dog, but not sure, and Commander seems to be a pup when they got him? (Elder, almost mature, but maybe as a true pup?)
At the least, it seems they are no good at picking dogs. Because choosing is important, and not just how cute they are. Personality is usually pretty clear.
