My big guy Chase, my German Shepherd Dog, has a baby sister. SKYLAR. Skylar is an eight month old female long coat black and red German Shepherd Dog from the same breeder Chase came from. Chase is neutered and i am going to get Skylar spayed in about six months. Skylar is underweight and skinny. You can feel the ribs when you pet her on the sides of her body. Skylar was the runt of the litter and was bullied on by her furry brothers and sisters. She was bit in many places and her siblings stole her portion of Dog food so that is why she is underweight and malnourished. Had a visit to the veterinarian and got her tested for worms 🪱 and parasites. Results came back negative. Skylar is takung a 14 day antibiotics program due to her scabs, a lump on her left side rib area due to blunt trauma and urinary infection and scratches on her vulva. She got her rabbits and puppy shots and weighs 52.5 pounds. Unfortunately Skylar is not fully potty trained nor obedience trained. I will work on a training regiment after a few weeks. Extremely skittish therefore I want her to get used to her new home and her new family and environment. Here are a few photos of Skylar and Chase. One of Skylar ears is floppy. I adopted Skylar on Sunday October 6th. Dan Ivenovic dropped her off the house. Dan has two other German Shepherd pups that are nine months. Please let me know if anyone is interested . Price is discounted. 9 months old.

Chase, my long-coat black and red German Shepherd adolescence pup was born on January 25th, 2023. I purchased Chase on September 12th, 2023 when he was eight months old. I was searching Long-Haired German Shepherd dogs on Hoobly (highly recommend this website if you are shopping for dogs) and found Dan Ivenovic, a breeder of German Shepherd and Doberman Pinschers – all German bloodlines and exotic rare long hair French Bulldogs). Dan Ivenovic is based in Deerfield, Illinois, which is 30 minutes from where I live. I talked back and forth with Dan Ivenovic for a few days over the phone about maybe getting two long-coat German Shepherd dogs and a time and date for seeing the dogs. On September 12th, 2023, Dan said he can drop the dogs to may house to see them and if I like them, I could purchase them. I told him that I just want one German Shepherd dog because the German Shepherd I am buying will be my 12th dog so just to bring one. Just so everyone knows, I do have 12 dogs and they are all inside dogs. At the time my wife and I had 11 dogs (Dog #1 Female Pit Bull that was a rescue where I had to adopt or the previous owners were moving to Florida and could not take her and a male Pitbull. The male Pit Bull, my friend and fellow loan officer Jose Morales adopted. Dog #2: Stella is a 8 year old grey female Standard Poodle who is a rescue. Stella and dozens of dogs were confiscated from a large puppy breeding mill by the Sheriff’s Department in Central Wisconsin. Stella was abused, undernourished, and was about to get transported to a kill county animal shelter. Dog #3: Four year-old French Bull Dog – Adopted last year from Highland, Illinois. Dog # 4: Five-year old four pound toy poodle. Dog #5: Five-year old five pound Yorkshire Terrier. Dog #6 and Dog #7: Five year old Boston Terrier brothers. Dog #8 eleven year old toy poodle. Dog #9: Five-year old toy poodle. Dog #10: Six-year old Schiz Szu-Pomeranian mix. Dog #11: Six-year old three pound Chihuahua. Chase makes it dog #12). So, when I adopted Chase, he was eight months old. He was very skittish, was not leash trained, was semi-potty trained, did not know how to sleep on a dog bed, did not know nothing about toys, did not know how to walk and down the stairs, did not know human food, ice cream, or treats, did not know how to walk into different rooms through a door, did not know how to get in and out of my truck, and did not know many things a normal eight month dog should know. I had to take him to the vet every other week because of warms and a stomach parasite which took six months to treat. Anyways, I spent a lot of time with him. Taught him the basics, took him for rides, introduced him to toys, and soon he started coming around. All his four-legged furry brothers and sisters eventually welcomed Chase into their group and he became part of the family. We also have three unfriendly skittish rescue cats. Chase gets along with everyone and doesn’t mind the little ones snapping at him or disrespecting him by stealing his toys or food. Eventually, Chase choose a red 16 inch ball as his favorite toy. He brings his red ball throughout the day to take him out to play fetch. I disregard him many times because I am in the middle of something to do for work. He then picks up his ball and drops it to me. He continues to do this half a dozen times and if I disregard him, he will pick up his red ball and throws it to me. I ignore him, his next move is he will pick up his red ball and hands it to me and while he is doing so, you can see the whites of his eyes. NOW, HOW CAN I SAY NO TO HIM. I then change my clothes to take him out so we can play catch one on one. I need to take him out of the house to play fetch because if I take home to the back yard, we get disrupted from the other dogs. When we both had enough, we both go back in the house. Not once does Chase let his red ball out of the house. I bought other similar balls for Chase but he only wants his beat up red ball. The point for this story is you will see pictures of Chase and most pictures Chase has his red ball

with him. German Shepherds are the best dog breed I have had. My first dog, Jeannie, was a female German Shepherd I had when I was a freshman in high school. My best friend, loyal, and was always with me wherever I went. I will save that story for a different separate thread. I highly recommend German Shepherd breed for those people who want to get a dog for their family. Many people think German Shepherd dogs will not get along with small dogs, cats, and children. NOT TRUE. I will explain my interactions with other people when I have Chase with me on separate posts. Here are some more photos of Chase.
