Our GSP is 7 and Purina recommended switching over to the senior formula.

First time GSP owner, just turned two. It never ceases to amaze me how they are born knowing how to do this.

I don’t understand the bunnies in my neighborhood. They have no fear of my gsp. They constantly invade his territory without a care in the world. They don’t understand if I wasn’t there he would gobble them down.

My 1st GSP BT was the black one. Kofi was a blue weimeraner. Running forever out back.

I have had the pleasure to care my Heidi girl for 3 years, she is the apple of my eye, my living situation has changed to the point I can no longer give her the space or time she deserves and while it breaks my heart we need to find a new home.

She is a full liver with some ticking down the chest.

She is 3 years old and in perfect health.

Looking for a place with other GSP's or other active dogs, but will be fine if its just owners who are active enough for her needs.

She is good with smaller dogs and friendly to cats. She really is amazingly gentle and just wants to love and lick people.

We can try a week test run, and a major deal for me is if for some reason it wouldn't work out in the long run, i would want her back so I can re re home her.

How do you get over losing your best friend of 10 years? I have 2 kids and a wife, but the bond me and Bear had was so special. We would wake up before everybody and go down the street for a walk every morning. It was his favorite thing to do . Hug your dogs for me today, I’m missing Bear a lot today.

So my GSP is turning one and a half next month and I’m curious on if I should get him neutered. I was told by the breeder to wait until about this time but by doing my own research it seemed like waiting until he was around four would be best. From my understanding it’s better for their joints, skin, testosterone, etc… I’m not totally against waiting until four but it would make boarding him a lot easier if I neutered him a bit early. Just figured I’d come here and see when everybody else neutered their pups, if at all. Thanks!

Hi all! My boyfriend and I recently moved back to his hometown and found ourselves with a new baby! His friends have property that backs the woods and found a dog out there while hunting. We ended up taking care of her as we put up posters and made Facebook announcements, but nobody ever claimed her. When we first started taking care of her, she was very skinny and timid. I’m talking like a bag of bones and skin, it was disheartening. (First three slides) The vet gave us an estimate for her age, about 6-7 months old. After going to the vet and getting everything sorted out our main priority was making sure that she was eating and gaining weight in a healthy matter.

Flash forward to current day she’s about 8-9 months old and we are struggling with training. She is now in a kennel at home while we are away at work due to her, ripping through the sidewall next to the front door and almost escaping. (Fourth slide) While she is very smart and understands what to do she is also very resilient and will (what feels like) purposely ignore you when training. We used some high reward treats to start training in the very beginning and now seems as though she doesn’t care for them anymore. I am used to training labs but this breed definitely needs a bit more than what I’m used to. Any advice would be helpful thank you!

Getting bigger! Growing, learning, chewing, pissing, and sleeping. His front legs are like little clubs. He is 11 weeks old and has already nailed down “sit”, “wait”, “down”, and “place”. Still acts like he barely knows his name though 😅

Just wondering if anyone's been through this. Basically vet told me at his age 11.5 years old surgery isnt recommended as bones dont heal as well because of his age and that hes gonna need to be as immobile as possible the next for sure month but up to 3 months. Hes still pretty high energy and even after a day or 2 with no walks he gets ancy and upset. Any tips or advice aside from meds to keep him immobile would be greatly appreciated.
