Saxon Shepherd

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

it's been a while, I haven't intentionally been keeping the big/little puppy quiet (so to speak), but now with some time off, I belatedly introduce my new little/big german shepherd puppy Saxon :D

both his ears were dropped when he first came home

but it only lasted that first day, before 1 ear popped up

then dropped again for a few days

then both mainly up

a size comparison @ about 14 weeks

and @ about 5 months (last week)

water lover and swimming pro

not a bad retriever either (when it suits him)

looking almost like an adult

but still a bit cheeky :D

that'll do for an intro ... better hit the add reply button before he gets too old :laugh:

Love him, he is gorgeous! He has grown so much in such a short time..... I've missed seeding your photos! I see lotus had a blue steel face on for these pics. :laugh:

Edited for stupid auto correct!

thanks :D

oh and I should mention I lost Jamie-girl late last year :(

and for almost the same amount of time I've had Saxon, Chester has been on crate-rest/recuperating from a slipped disc in his neck - so not much play between the boys, and none in the future

my pack now looks something like this (so serious lol):

(you probably can't see, but the uneven pink square across Chester's chest is where he was shaved for his surgery a couple of weeks prior to this shot - next week he'll be ready for short walks again at last!)

TO i was going to ask the same. Saxon is lovely, my kind of Sheppy.

clover, thanks for your condolences for Jamie ... not entirely unexpected, but still sudden, and well wishes for Chester ... he's hankering to get out

Saxon's bred by Gipfel (his name is Gipfel Bare Foot) and since I'm not entirely responsible for how gorgeous he is I'm gonna have to agree :D :D :D

I've missed seeing your photos too. It's so good to see the current pack and Saxon is beautiful. I laughed at TLCs Blue Steel comment and went back to look, and laughed again. :laugh: I'm sorry Chester's had such trouble with his neck, Penny has an intermittent problem with hers too and it's heartbreaking when she is in trouble with it.

It seems longer since Jamie passed :( Saxon looks like he was semaphoring with those ears. He wants a job in the Navy.

hey thanks all!

kirislin - yeh, lost Texas in March, Jamie in December

the big bugger is 6 months old now! he's like a miniature giant lol

this isn't exactly a new trick, but here he's demonstrating how he learnt to open the back sliding door (none of my other dogs have ever figured out how to do this, it's kinda annoying )

and another different kind of size comparison

a quick update as the 40kg puppy had his 1st birthday today

he didn't get much of a celebration today, just this gifting shoot and some yummy treats because I had to go to work, but also he just had his successful cryptorchid operation earlier this week and he's on strict rest :)

I gave him a kong twizzler toy early though, he loves this stick, carries it around with pride

and I got us to the river last week when I realised I'd booked his op. the same week and that he'd be out for his birthday ... he loves getting wet! :D
