Jann in TX Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 We lost our beautiful male White German Shepherd last November (rare cancer). His breeder is giving us a puppy (his 'warranty' had expired but she offered when she heard the news). We were going to wait for a May puppy (ready in May)... and we had resisted temptation until this guy became available this week-- he was the first pick male. His 'people' had something come up and deferred to a later litter. We were next in line... Who could resist this? He is 8 weeks old. We are thinking of naming him WSK's Charles Tucker III with a call name of "Trip". All of our dogs/cats have had Star Trek names... Looks like I have a 4 hr drive (each way) ahead of me this weekend! Hopefully Tasha (our current WGSD) will not want to eat him... she either likes another dog/cat or she does not-- no in between with her... but she IS extremely lonely... (both dogs are or will be fixed-- no breeding for us!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 He's adorable! How can Tasha resist such a cutie to boss around.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MollyAnn Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 He is adorable!! I love that you name your animals after Star Trek characters. I was going to say that Tasha and Tuck were a couple of my favorite characters, but then realized there isn't a character that I don't like, lol. I had a cat named Dax.

ryyans Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 That's so funny! We are getting a puppy also this weekend Complete with the four hour trip there and back! In our case, we had planned to wait for summer litter but we fell in love with a puppy from the current pups..labradoodle. Good luck with your sweet puppy..I know we are super excited for ours!

Annie Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh, how I want a little GS puppy! I think we'll have to wait until we're done with babies first, so it will be some years. For now, I'll smile at your puppy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrid Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Adorable! My guess is Tasha will hand out a puppy license that she won't revoke until he's 8 months old at least! That's how it usually is here when we bring in a puppy with an older ***** in the house. Good luck with him...he's beautiful! astrid (And safe travels too!)

BrookValley. Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 UGH. I always forget that the rest of the world doesn't use the word b*t*h the same way we do.....ugh. astrid I have some friends that I travel around with showing chickens (yes, people show chickens...and for anyone wondering, no, we do not walk them around on little leashes :lol:). Several of them also happen to be former dog breeders/handlers/etc. Let me tell you, the group of us gets some odd looks when we go out to eat or whathaveyou. Start with a conversation peppered with the word c**k, which is the correct term for an adult male rooster, and then throw in several mentions of b****es when the conversation turns to dogs and, well, it's always entertaining. :D To the OP, congrats. I remember your thread from when you first thinking about getting a pup from an earlier litter or waiting 'till a bit later. I cannot blame you one bit for taking the opportunity to bring that little guy home!! He is gorgeous! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WistfulRidge Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 :001_wub: What a face! I really, really love GSDs, but the white ones just have a special place in my heart. I hope he fits in perfectly with everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vettechmomof2 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think he is an adorable choice and great name! We are going to the breeders home this Sat again as my daughter is fostering one of her 8 month old males until he goes to his new home at the end of March. She has a litter of 10 puppies (GS)that we get to play with! Can't wait. Allene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDays Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yes, I was also wondering what Tasha thought!! :) There's not a dog I don't love, but I really wish I could have a German Shepherd. My allergies have unfortunately gotten worse over the years and I ended up having trouble even with my beagle and lab. Once they both passed, we got a Standard Poodle who is the current love of our lives, and I can even breathe!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
