I am picking up my new pooch today!

Bax · 11-21-2013, 08:00 AM

This is Alex, my new German Shepherd pup! It's a bittersweet day today since losing my dog Scrap after 14 years a few weeks ago we decided to look into another "Big Dog". He should fit the protection bill. Both mom and dad are around the 100lb. mark with the grand dad weighing in a 140.

I'm sure Alex the Great will have many wonderful years with our family but I still grab Scrappy's leash every once in a while expecting him to run to the door.

Here's a pic of Goliath, the grand dad. Alex probably wont be this big, but we can hope

This is one Kick A$$ monster for sure.

Excellent! They say that the best thing to do when you lose a pet is to get a new one PDQ! May you spend many fruitful years together!

CigarNut · 11-21-2013, 09:03 AM

Very cool! I hope Alex brings joy to you and your family.

stearns · 11-21-2013, 09:08 AM

Make sure to post up pics as that little fuzzball quickly turns into a massive fuzzball

icehog3 · 11-21-2013, 09:22 AM

Awesome, Tim, enjoy him! Like Ben said, post up pics often.

I am a little envious, lost my 13 year old Germen Shepherd Ganz back in March, and am not it a position to train a pup anytime soon. I will live vicariously through your pics if you share.

kelmac07 · 11-21-2013, 09:52 AM

Congrats on the new addition Tim.

Smoqman · 11-21-2013, 10:26 AM

Really cool Tim! My family and I have been looking for a bigger dog for some time, and a nice shepherd like this would certainly fit the bill

Beautiful!

Congrats!

dijit · 11-21-2013, 10:46 AM

I wouldnt trade my shepherd for anything (even if he is afraid of his own shadow)

Dave128 · 11-21-2013, 12:16 PM

Congratulations! Awesome looking puppy. Enjoy!

jjirons69 · 11-21-2013, 06:05 PM

Sorry for your lose, Tim (and yours, too, Tom). Good luck and here's to many great years ahead.

Bax · 11-21-2013, 06:41 PM

He's been home about 3 hours and already has the run of the house from my other dogs

big_jaygee · 11-21-2013, 06:57 PM

cute pup

big pete · 11-21-2013, 08:53 PM

Congrats Tim! Beautiful pup. Wish I had the time and space for a big dog

Remo · 11-21-2013, 09:29 PM

Great looking puppy

DirtRider500R · 11-21-2013, 10:02 PM

Good lookin' dog

MUNKY · 11-21-2013, 10:52 PM

Great addition!

Flynnster · 11-21-2013, 11:03 PM

Awesome addition Bax! I picked up a Shepherd this summer from the shelter after my childhood dog passed and she's been great. Nothing like having a dog around, you won't realize how much you missed having one until you bring her home.

I'm In The Same Boat As The Admiral, Tim. Lost My Shi-Tzu Of 14 Years Over A Year Ago & Can't Bear To Replace Her, Yet. Congrats & Keep The Pics Coming!

Beautiful pup. We've owned dogs as long as I can remember, and I just can't ever imagine not having one. Pets just seem to make a home complete.
