* I love the dramatic howl, * The side eye, * Fluff all over my clothes, * The little scratches on my furniture, * The bite-mark on my hands, * Muddy paw-print all over my floor, * Wet snoop print on my window I just miss my dog too much, it's been 3 years but I can't get over him
Dude I got both since I own 2 rottie labs, thank god one is part corso so her hair is not as long, but the slobber, everywhere. I tell my friends that want to come over to come dressed in plain clothes, nothing fancy especially if we have dinner. Well on the positive side, I now know Who my real friends are since if you dont like my dogs you probably dont like me either.
Iv recently got a rottie/lab black puppy, he’s lovely but I don’t see any hair molting so far which I’m really impressed by 😂 he’s learning so quickly and so well behaved only had him 3 weeks and I can’t imagine not having him now 💙
@@Demon_Vr2169 my first rottie lab was kinda "forced" on me, well, only kinda.... dude left her in a squat i was living in with other people and the dog defaulted to me right away, mind you she was barely 3 months old at the time, she'd sneak in my bed even tho i "kicked" her out every time, as soon as i was asleep she got back in, so the first two weeks was me still beeing like "hes gonna come get her" and all that, after those 2 weeks i could not immagine my life without her, she was such a ray of sunshine coming through perpetual darkness that i really didnt want to let go of her, i was ready to fight her original owner over her untill i took her to the vet and found out she was not chipped yet, so i chipped her right then and there and the rest is history, been with me ever since, she is 10 years old now (just had her BD, later on not only i found the dude that left her with me but her other siblings and parents too, we still keep in contact, btw the dude did not abandon her, he ended up in prison that night and was super happy about me taking care of her, even brought me a full years supply of treats and toys for her) and she is still going super strong, she is the light in my life and i cannot immagine my life without her, i have another rottie lab, she is 2 now and i love her and she's amazing and all that but the older one is the doggy equivalent of "love of a lifetime" and she will always be the best dog i ever owned.
We have 2 and there is hair…. Everywhere…. But it’s a fair trade off for the joy and love they bring to our house. Couldn’t imagine my life without them❤
Agreed. Hair is the only thing that drives me nuts when it comes to my shepherd. But the good definitely outweighs the bad and to me, dealing with the hair is worth it. I might complain about it a lot lol, but I am very thankful for my dog
I own one years ago. Best dog ever. Barking is not a problem. They learne to bark and obey when u say stop. True for second reason. Only real problem is healthy issuses.my die 8 years old.😢😢😢 Just great dog. Great guardian and great great with children. Amazing dog. Still miss her
I have one and I am not going to lie, what you said is absolutely true. My house and my eardrum are a mess. One more thing, these breeds are tanks. They have a lot of energy and never get tired easily.
while the shedding part is correct, the barking has never been a problem for me. In fact, I consider German Shepherds are one of the quieter breeds I know. I have no idea where people get their barking Shepherds from.
I have two and both are well behaved and are are not barkers. Only vocal when I come home just like you. We had one before and she wasn’t a barker either…
@@samanthadomigan3883 Great to hear that I was getting a bit worried that he was going to start barking when he got a bit older. He is such a lovely well behaved dog❤️
Most loving and loyal dog your family will ever meet. Easily the best breed on the planet. Well balanced, easy to train, can do any job any other breed can... but not many breeds can do what Gsds can.
My boy is 10 months old. Likes a bark at the window and the back fence. Mega fluff bomb when he blows his coat. Wouldn’t swap the big loyal dope for a £billion
I'll take the hair over the slobber personally. And the occasional barking that mine exhibits when people come home just shows me that she's alert and paying attention to what goes on in the house. I'm sure with age she will learn to differentiate when someone is supposed to be there and not bark as opposed to when she is supposed to be intimidating.
I’ve one laying across my legs as I’m on my couch. He’s more vocal than my other two, and while he does understand when it’s time to settle down he will not hesitate to rip the blankets off the bed when I try to sleep in. While I love all dog breeds I’m fairly confident I’ll always have a GSD for the rest of my life. The fur is just added insulation, haha.
Every single morning mine wakes me up making a noise that sounds like a ship whistle. Aside from the barking he also likes to chat sh*t at me all day. Has an answer for everything 😂😂 He's a long haired german shepherd and is 4 in august, Ive been through 3 "pet" hoovers already 😂 Wouldn't be without him though, he's my wee honey.
My siblings and I were raised by by a German Shepherd we were her pups she watched 4 of us and protected us on the farm keep us from the road we still miss her and still think about her often its being many years she was family and always will be.❤❤❤
Had a Swiss Shepard. She passed a year ago. She was the kindest creature I’ve ever come across and smart as hell. She left beautiful white hair absolutely everywhere. A year after she’s passed, we still find white snowball hair floating around. It makes me cry to think part of her still follows us around no matter how much we clean. It’s basically dog glitter lol. I see the hair issue as a bonus now that I miss her so much. I hope I find her hair around the house forever.. I miss you, Frosty.
grew up with one as a child,he bark at 2am(not once,but histerically high pitched we are all gonna die kinda bark) to inform us of the presence of a mouse or a hedgehog,and those hairs when he changed winter to summer coat,oh my god,my aunt was seriously considering to make some kind of cloth from it,like a blanket,and we could have had one every year :P i miss that grumpy but sweet old man,he had to put up alot with me xD
Another negative is separation anxiety. It is difficult to leave them on their own, at home, or with a sitter, if you want to go on holiday, or even go to work.
My neighbour when i was a lil kid had a german shepherd called Clyde. He rately barked but i remember their living room being furry😂 she always daid when people would be like oh you have dog fur everywhere she would deadpan and say my dogs live here not you.
My German Shepherd doesn't bark much. We are not around other dogs much though either. She's a house dog most of the time, and we go out on the trails in the woods for exercise. 😊
. Mine doesn't either. But I got her in her older age, so idk why. I mean NEVER a peep. I've heard her when she was alone in the house but that's about it.
The German Shepherd is just that: a Shepherd. In perfection. That's what they were bred for. Ppl then misused their perfection, their ability for obedience and MADE them guard dogs. And that's exactly what's wrong with it. What's wrong with people!
God forbid people use work dogs to work. These dogs have been selectively bred to work. Captain Max von Stephanitz bred them to exhibit brains and brawn, which is why they are so adaptable in numerous roles.
My childhood dog was a German Shepherd named Thor. He worked security with my uncle and I remember 2 things about him very fondly, how big and cuddly he was and... Fur clouds 😂
They don’t bark a lot. They bark LOUDLY, a lot. Into my 50’s- had dogs all my life and at some points up to 15 at a time on a ranch, usually city living so only 2 at a time. Two best dogs I had was a trained german shepherd and an untrained basset hound. Hilariously the hound was a puppy around shepherds in the place before I got her. She was louder than shepherd's bark.
Our old basset was super loud too. And dont get me started on that jaw strength. The dog would turn a knucklebone into dust in a matter of minutes. Just crack it right in two like nbd. 😂
I have a GS/Husky/Lab mix and got so lucky with his coat. Lab coat GS temperment and coloring, husky scream and energy level. Man I love that dog. He is just a year old and such a well mannered smart boy. Hes old enough, and trained enough, now to start medical allert training and get his in training vest to practice his task training in public.
Yes.. my darling girl does give us a proper warning every time there’s somebody at the door.. or driving/ walking past the house, she sings in the car and when she wants attention.. it can be a bit much, but she’s otherwise chill, sleeps quietly through the night and her long hair is actually pretty manageable. Wouldn’t want to trade her fluffy glory! 😊
I’ve had two German Shepherd’s now, for whatever reason neither one are/were very vocal 🤷♀️ My current boy will bark if someone comes to the door, or he sees our neighbor out the window but it’s only a couple times and I’ll go and look out the window with him and say thanks and he’s done lol.
Well I own a white swiss Shepard, basicly a white GSD. She absolutely never barks. For the fur, well we have a roombat that goes everyday. Our house is all clean. As someone said I prefer 100 times fur over drool.
My god number 1 is so true we had a German shepherd girl unfortunately she passed away but she was so vocal when I used to walk her she would bark from the second we left the house to the min we got back the house feel so quiet without her now I would give anything to hear her bark again 😢
I've owned many GSDs . I have never had any bark a lot. Only playing or if they see threats . The fur can be vacuum time consuming , however, it's what make them all weather for camping , winter ,survival etc. I live in the country, so an inside fur type is useless to my lifestyle.
Fur I agree with. The barking is dog specific, mine moans at me but only barks very briefly when she runs into the garden or someone knocks for 2 secs and then stops.
Had one miss her dearly great bread. Full of energy and will protect no end. Family oriented. We also had a kitten when we got her it walked straight into her mouth she just sat there with her mouth open not knowing what to do. Looking at us to sort it. Amazing.
German Shedders! 😜 I have two Roombas that made my life so much easier! (I WAS a neat freak) 😅 My Service dog is a GSD. His temperament isn’t a barker, perfect for a SD. 😅 The down side, known for hip dysplasia. But, he’s a young and healthy and we are a matched set! Love your advice and videos. Have been so helpful for the two of us.
My last dog was an Akita x German Shepherd mix. He only barked 4 times in his whole 13 years, but the shedding? I could've run a business of stuffing pillows or mattresses 😂
I have a German Shepherd Rottweiler cross. First time I ever owned anything with a Shepherd in it. It is amazing how much hair falls out of a shepherd. But I love him to death
I have two dogs. One is Magnus, the other is Yennifer. Yennifer is an Afghan hound, so uh, theres like hair everywhere. What can I do to stop so much hair from being around. I tried every technique from other sources and theyve all failed. Nothing is working.
mine doesn't even do that, she just sits and waits. I have a border collie who does like to sing us a song of his people at 6 in the morning. or any time anyone walks anywhere on the street
I have a GSD/ husky mix … most amazing dog … obedient, intelligent, quiet and loyal .. the only GSD trait is his copious shedding …. Nobody’s perfect 😂😂
GSD's are talented talkers and singers 😂 My Dutchy too 😅 Before going out he's singing all the way down the stairs Females are more silent, my Dutchy Lady didn't bark her first 3,5 years, was howling like a wolf to communicate
I cant agree with the barking, my experience has been that its just IF they bark they BARK. People told me that our GSDs have this scary fast bark with a big snappy motion. The hair thing... yeah... 😂 BUT! i love that i have free insulating wool almost all year available. I love arts and crafts and use my GSDs fur for felting, making yarn etc. Im collecting some undercoat for a pillow at the moment, 2 months in and spring is coming, i guess 1 more month and we got enough stuffing 😂 Edit: if you want a bark-happy breed the Shetland Sheepdog's for you! At least the european line 😅
You hit the nail on the head. They shed and shed and shed. We all grew with a Shepherd. I can't remember the barking, but my neighbor has a Shepherd that bark's at the drop of a hat.
Fabulous dogs❤ The fur is something else though. I used to hoover mine with the Henry. He loved it, both of us were on first name basis with my hoover.
Yep. Had two German shepherds. Fur everywhere, and they didn't bark much but talked constantly, even more so than my huskies. Miss them like crazy, especially my boy. He was my protector ❤
I have a Shepherd Pei and she's completely quiet unless someone is at the door. Otherwise, she doesn't bark at all. But you are right about #2. Even with her being a mix, the hair is ridiculous.
Im a dog lover, that being said there's deff breeds i do not like! An German Shepards are at the top of my list. As he said they do not shut up, theyre one of the most likely dogs to bite, and their shedding is unbelievable.
431am and a fox was outside. My closed doors and windows be damned, my dog took the nuclear option for barking and did me the favor of jumping on my bed to, I assume, provide flank support? Thanks pal 😂
Will is absolutely right very vocal and my German shepherd sheds so much! But those are the only negative things. They are so smart and so easy to train
I was not prepared for all the barking and vocalizing during play. There was a solid few weeks I thought she was growling at me while playing. The hair is everywhere too, but i have 3 cats so i have to clean up anyway
* I love the dramatic howl,
* The side eye,
* Fluff all over my clothes,
* The little scratches on my furniture,
* The bite-mark on my hands,
* Muddy paw-print all over my floor,
* Wet snoop print on my window
I just miss my dog too much, it's been 3 years but I can't get over him
I bet u still find hair everywhere
Oh and when you put your hand at your side and it gently rests on ur puppers head❤❤❤❤
They are truly the best breed
@laydeestroh4830 or force their kissy tounge into your hand
Aww I’m sorry for your loss, they really are amazing dogs. I love everything about them.
GSDs don't shed. They emit magical fibers of love & Joy.
Dog glitter we call it in our house 🤣
And they smell of new car leather.
I agree with you dog hair is like glitter you just change all over your house
Whatever helps you sleep at night whilst you're struggling to take a deep breath in through the nose that's being clogged up by hairs... 😂😂😂
You can get grooming tools for excessive nasal hair or just use tweezers.
Personally I would rather have dog fur in my house instead of slobber! 😂
I've had both and would rather manage the slobber than the fur. I have my mastiff trained to wipe his mouth after drinking and eating
wow. Respect. @@juliehackett1025

You boy had his lipstick out, he was REALLY happy to see you! 😂😂😂😂
Lol that's what you got out of the information.
LOVE THEM😊
@@gezellelasche4930 it was still a very interesting video but the red rocket threw me 😂😂😂😂
That's stress indication.
Above comment. No.
Our German Shepherd, Buckeye, is a fool of a dog! But when an ambulance goes by with its siren blaring, I love the howls he belts out.
My friend has a GSD. She has never barked and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Perfect girl.
If your GSD doesn’t bark at strangers showing up then it’s faulty.
It's not a GSD then
They should have a certain level of suspicion of strangers. That’s what they are bred for.
You haven't seen her deal with an unwelcome visitor yet.
We have 2 and there is hair…. Everywhere…. But it’s a fair trade off for the joy and love they bring to our house. Couldn’t imagine my life without them❤
I agree. Had my 1st GSD when I was nine. I’m 67 and continue to have them. About to get a puppy for my 5 yr old.
Agreed. Hair is the only thing that drives me nuts when it comes to my shepherd. But the good definitely outweighs the bad and to me, dealing with the hair is worth it. I might complain about it a lot lol, but I am very thankful for my dog
German shepherd dust 🥰
Their*
Mine don’t Bark!!!!
Yes yes...GSD are hair leavers but the big personality, devotion, love, and protective instincts are worth it!😃
sameeeeeeee!!!! they’re sooooo protective and loving
Absolutely
I own one years ago. Best dog ever. Barking is not a problem. They learne to bark and obey when u say stop. True for second reason. Only real problem is healthy issuses.my die 8 years old.😢😢😢 Just great dog. Great guardian and great great with children. Amazing dog. Still miss her
Yeah I don’t understand about the shedding. I had GSD my entire childhood and non of them shed anything like labs, goldens, and many other breads
???? If ure gsd isn't shedding. U don't have full bred gsd. I need to sweep ex day
... I couldn't stop staring, it was swaying back and forth like a hypnotist's pocket watch
wtf
💀
😂
Ik bruh, it's like a horrible car wreck 😭
Peek a boo
Owning a German Shepard was an absolute privilege. Devotion,intelligence, loyalty & courage are their traits for the family.
Our GSD girl didn’t start barking until she was 10 years old. Now she barks in appreciation when we feed her. 🐕
Damn ❤
I have one and I am not going to lie, what you said is absolutely true. My house and my eardrum are a mess. One more thing, these breeds are tanks. They have a lot of energy and never get tired easily.
What was your reason for getting that specific breed?
They are working dogs. They need a job to do or they tend get into mischief.
Well I've always had GSDs. Try a Cockapoo by comparison he's a complete hyper nightmare!
@@susan9188 "Nightmare"? Sounds like someone shouldn't have animals 😂
while the shedding part is correct, the barking has never been a problem for me. In fact, I consider German Shepherds are one of the quieter breeds I know. I have no idea where people get their barking Shepherds from.
Got a German Shepherd 6 months old never barks, just cries with excitement every time a member of the family comes home. Best breed in the world ❤
wait for it… wait for it… and enjoy the time till then 😂
I have two and both are well behaved and are are not barkers. Only vocal when I come home just like you. We had one before and she wasn’t a barker either…

Same.
I’ve one laying across my legs as I’m on my couch.
He’s more vocal than my other two, and while he does understand when it’s time to settle down he will not hesitate to rip the blankets off the bed when I try to sleep in.
While I love all dog breeds I’m fairly confident I’ll always have a GSD for the rest of my life. The fur is just added insulation, haha.
Every single morning mine wakes me up making a noise that sounds like a ship whistle. Aside from the barking he also likes to chat sh*t at me all day. Has an answer for everything 😂😂
He's a long haired german shepherd and is 4 in august, Ive been through 3 "pet" hoovers already 😂
Wouldn't be without him though, he's my wee honey.
The fur is 100% going to rule your life. We feel blessed though, our GSD never barks unless she's protecting.
My siblings and I were raised by by a German Shepherd we were her pups she watched 4 of us and protected us on the farm keep us from the road we still miss her and still think about her often its being many years she was family and always will be.❤❤❤
Had a Swiss Shepard. She passed a year ago. She was the kindest creature I’ve ever come across and smart as hell. She left beautiful white hair absolutely everywhere. A year after she’s passed, we still find white snowball hair floating around. It makes me cry to think part of her still follows us around no matter how much we clean. It’s basically dog glitter lol.
I see the hair issue as a bonus now that I miss her so much. I hope I find her hair around the house forever.. I miss you, Frosty.
Loved our two German Shepherd Dogs…very dedicated to their owners.
You haven’t heard barking until you’ve owned a beautiful collie.
Miracle fibres of joy!😂 I have had two, my darling Lisa, gone now, and my current difficult over protective boy Rudi.❤
grew up with one as a child,he bark at 2am(not once,but histerically high pitched we are all gonna die kinda bark) to inform us of the presence of a mouse or a hedgehog,and those hairs when he changed winter to summer coat,oh my god,my aunt was seriously considering to make some kind of cloth from it,like a blanket,and we could have had one every year :P
i miss that grumpy but sweet old man,he had to put up alot with me xD
And that two if the reasons GSD are my favorite breed. They are AWSOME❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another negative is separation anxiety. It is difficult to leave them on their own, at home, or with a sitter, if you want to go on holiday, or even go to work.
I love love love them. But having two in my house, I’ve given up on a clean floor.
My girl is so quiet. She barks only for good reason. Never heard her howl.
She is expressive in different quiet sounds.
My neighbour when i was a lil kid had a german shepherd called Clyde. He rately barked but i remember their living room being furry😂 she always daid when people would be like oh you have dog fur everywhere she would deadpan and say my dogs live here not you.

Gsds are one of the best breeds on the planet. The love, loyalty and intelligence of Gsds is indescribable.
I also like a quiet home and i am starting to realize maybe a Redbone Coonhound wasnt the best choice in that aspect.
They don’t bark a lot.
They bark LOUDLY, a lot.
Into my 50’s- had dogs all my life and at some points up to 15 at a time on a ranch, usually city living so only 2 at a time.

Can confirm, hovering daily.
Plus my GSD barks at stuff and guards the house quite well.
Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Apparently their red rockets always out too😂😂😂
Lol. Always
😂
Same with my favorite breeds. The sled dogs. Very vocal and lots of shedding.
Yes.. my darling girl does give us a proper warning every time there’s somebody at the door.. or driving/ walking past the house, she sings in the car and when she wants attention.. it can be a bit much, but she’s otherwise chill, sleeps quietly through the night and her long hair is actually pretty manageable.

German shepherds are good dogs you really have to pay attention to the dog
Best breed ever GSD all round amazing.
Had one miss her dearly great bread. Full of energy and will protect no end. Family oriented. We also had a kitten when we got her it walked straight into her mouth she just sat there with her mouth open not knowing what to do. Looking at us to sort it. Amazing.
Love your videos - thanks for this great one :-)
can confirm i had a rescue for 13 years, i loved her very much, but it was A LOT of work.
German Shedders! 😜 I have two Roombas that made my life so much easier! (I WAS a neat freak) 😅
My Service dog is a GSD. His temperament isn’t a barker, perfect for a SD. 😅
The down side, known for hip dysplasia. But, he’s a young and healthy and we are a matched set!
Love your advice and videos. Have been so helpful for the two of us.
My GSD is a conservative barker but holy crap I think we eat a pillowcase of doghair every year. That said, it’s undeniably worth it to us!
My last dog was an Akita x German Shepherd mix. He only barked 4 times in his whole 13 years, but the shedding? I could've run a business of stuffing pillows or mattresses 😂
My GSD almost never barks, but he sheds like it's his job.
My German shepherd is super quiet til it all kicks off
Mines had hair like glue. Fluffy hair everywhere.
I have a German Shepherd Rottweiler cross. First time I ever owned anything with a Shepherd in it. It is amazing how much hair falls out of a shepherd. But I love him to death
German Shepherds are the best especially the Old German Shepherd it’s a shame it’s not as widespread anymore.
its been 3 years and im still trying to let go of being very tidy and clean, and say goodbye to your good night sleep😂
You can brush a GSD every day and it still wouldn't be enough. That said, they're great dogs to have.❤
I love them!! My chief just passed away he was amazing I'll miss him until I take my last breath!!
I have two dogs. One is Magnus, the other is Yennifer. Yennifer is an Afghan hound, so uh, theres like hair everywhere. What can I do to stop so much hair from being around. I tried every technique from other sources and theyve all failed. Nothing is working.
I had German shepherd short hair and it only barked when it thought i or my property was under threat 😊
mine doesn't even do that, she just sits and waits. I have a border collie who does like to sing us a song of his people at 6 in the morning. or any time anyone walks anywhere on the street
@Jerseybytes2 exactly like my neighbours dog just barks 24/7 actually barking right now as I wrote this comment 🤕
A fur bunny tumbled past me as I watched it lol.
The worst thing about them is their hip problems when they get older.
They can be a little bitey, too. But I like em.
I have a GSD/ husky mix … most amazing dog … obedient, intelligent, quiet and loyal .. the only GSD trait is his copious shedding …. Nobody’s perfect 😂😂
I love mine. I'm happiest out on a field playing with my two. Fk the fur 😂
GSD's are talented talkers and singers 😂
My Dutchy too 😅
Before going out he's singing all the way down the stairs
Females are more silent, my Dutchy Lady didn't bark her first 3,5 years, was howling like a wolf to communicate
Amen brother. Lots of barking, lots of fur
I have definitely trained my German shepherd to be silent compared to most dogs and if you brush them daily the the hair is barely an issue
I cant agree with the barking, my experience has been that its just IF they bark they BARK. People told me that our GSDs have this scary fast bark with a big snappy motion.
The hair thing... yeah... 😂 BUT! i love that i have free insulating wool almost all year available. I love arts and crafts and use my GSDs fur for felting, making yarn etc.
Im collecting some undercoat for a pillow at the moment, 2 months in and spring is coming, i guess 1 more month and we got enough stuffing 😂
Edit: if you want a bark-happy breed the Shetland Sheepdog's for you! At least the european line 😅
Bark, squawk, yodel, eardrum piercing high pitched whine, love it all!
We have 2 short haired GSDs. Yes carpets are history, hard flooring and a good hoover that's never off.
I’d rather have fur in my house than an intruder
You hit the nail on the head. They shed and shed and shed. We all grew with a Shepherd. I can't remember the barking, but my neighbor has a Shepherd that bark's at the drop of a hat.
My shepherd almost never barks, she'll do a deep growl when she alerts
Fabulous dogs❤ The fur is something else though. I used to hoover mine with the Henry. He loved it, both of us were on first name basis with my hoover.
Yep. Had two German shepherds. Fur everywhere, and they didn't bark much but talked constantly, even more so than my huskies. Miss them like crazy, especially my boy. He was my protector ❤
I have a Shepherd Pei and she's completely quiet unless someone is at the door. Otherwise, she doesn't bark at all. But you are right about #2. Even with her being a mix, the hair is ridiculous.
Once you get one, you can never go back to any other kind of dog. The intelligence level is just amazing
This is a delightful summary - especially 'get used to the Hoover.'
Love german shepherds, they are soo loving
German shepards are amazing, I had them in the past, they are so protective, not only of their owner but of your other less obidient dogs.
Im a dog lover, that being said there's deff breeds i do not like! An German Shepards are at the top of my list. As he said they do not shut up, theyre one of the most likely dogs to bite, and their shedding is unbelievable.
Not to mention, they are very unpleasant to look at, with their long snout and ears. One of the only dogs that are not cute even as puppies.
One of the best family dogs you can get .
431am and a fox was outside. My closed doors and windows be damned, my dog took the nuclear option for barking and did me the favor of jumping on my bed to, I assume, provide flank support? Thanks pal 😂
😢how about the hip issues? That's what gets me with them I just can't stand to watch them in pain limping along at eight years old.!!!!
They only shed once a year……for 12 months.
Mine is incredibly quiet for some reason but kinda easy to be distracted lol
Will is absolutely right very vocal and my German shepherd sheds so much! But those are the only negative things. They are so smart and so easy to train
Try living with a Cocker Spaniel! You will have 🦮hair on your toliet 🧻paper! Okay, that was an oversaturation, but everywhere else!
They don’t just bark. They whine and they talk….❤❤
I was not prepared for all the barking and vocalizing during play. There was a solid few weeks I thought she was growling at me while playing. The hair is everywhere too, but i have 3 cats so i have to clean up anyway
