    He's the first Zephyr I came across since naming mine! I was totally 'oooo-ing' and 'ahhh-ing' at the first pic (Zephyr's brother) he looks SO cuddly and fluffy!

    It's not a very common name - but it was close to his 'litter' name and also links to his sire's kennel name so it stuck :) Although he's really just called Zeph now (that or 'baby brat' :lol: ).

    Gunner is gorgeous isn't he :mrgreen:

    He is and I like the name Gunner too!

    I like the meaning of the name Zephyr, and it was the one name out of many that my bf actually liked! My boy also gets called 'Zeph' now!

    Love your website and your dogs *jealous* lol! Amano is stunning!

    aw! i bet it is good training :lol:
    Thats good then that hes improved,im hoping Koda will too as hes got to be neutered before our pup moves in

    It'll be our second - the other huskamute was always like "ours" (she was our neighbours who worked full time) and we were at one point asked to take her or she was going to be sent to the RSPCA :roll: so we did, but she was very unruly and destructive and couldn't be left alone for longer than half hour without eating dry wall etc, and it was my parents choice and parents house back then so they didn't keep her and she went back to her old owners-who do still have her and shes just had a litter of puppies (crossed EBT:roll: ) don't ask, altho if u search my posts you'll find my rant about it ;)

    So this will be our second and she'll be mine to bring up just as i did my Koda, so all should be fine as the other huskamute wasn't ours and she wasn't brought up well :(

    Kodas fine being left, he'll howl when you leave but then he goes to sleep according to our neighbours, tho my mum doesn't work so he doesnt get left alone very long...

    As far as i know most can be crated, Kodi was and it was a real godsend, hes never had a accident since he was housetrained :)
    Edited to add we're getting her from Cornish mals who posted above :) x

    Hi again.

    The two males I know are really good with other dogs but were neutered really early, 6 or 10 months.

    The only one I've met to be iffy with other dogs was a mal cross who was undersocilised until 10 months, he was ott and didn't know how to interact. A few sessions with my dogs cured him.

    I would suggest you get one the opposite sex to your gsd.

    I don't know about the rescue situation, I often think a rescue can be good because you have the adult personality right there, plus you don't fall for the pushy puppy.

    I fell for the pushy puppy..he climbed over his litter mates and demanded my hubbys hand stroked him...and he is the most placid big lump you could ever find..

    He will walk past any dog growling at him and look at me and say "look at that muppet Mum"..

    On holiday a fortnight ago we passed a woman with a great dane..it wasn't very old at all....we were on a dog walk..which was about 8-10 ft wide..she had a little boy with her around 3yrs old..

    from about 30 ft away she started shouting "no" at her dog..I looked up and her little boy was running towards us..at no point did she try to recall her child!!! she had a hand on the muzzle of her dog and was shouting no..I didn't actually think her dog was doing anything..at this point her little boy arrived next to us..turned to face the same direction as us and took a hold of Cruisers collar and proceeded to "walk" him along the path!!!!

    All this time the child's mother is screaming "no behave" at her dog..Cruiser was totally chilled and strolling along..when we passed the woman and her dog she still never recalled her child..he kept walking my dog..

    When we were about 5ft past her she screamed " get down"..she had her dog strung up on his hind legs and then proceeded to pretty much lie on top of him..all the time Cruiser strolled on..

    I am still bewildered as to what went on there..

    once I extracted this child from my dogs collar we then passed a tied up GSD who sounded like he wanted to kill my boy..who was strolling along without a care..quickly followed by a yorkshire terrorist who tried to eat his toes..again..no reaction....

    FYI..Cruiser is from fab lines for temprement (fab lines for everything!)
    was neutered at 20 months
    and wasn't overly socialised as a youngster..but wasn't shut away either..
