New first line of home defense...

[dmg1969]

The wife and I adopted a new first line of home defense last weekend. His name is Titan and he is a little over two years old. His former owners had 5 kids and didn't have a lot of time for him. As a result, he is very needy but he listens fairly well (sit, lay down, etc.) and responds to his new name...it was Jet, but we changed it to Titan because it's more commanding.

He looks like a Black Wolf.

That is a really nice looking dog.

Frenchy, my wife swears he must be mixed with wolf, but he is a pure bred black german shepherd. He is HUGE and needs some work on the leash.

Thanks Dan! I've always wanted a GSD and, when we saw him, could pass him up.

Like I said, he is quite needy right now. Apparently, the former owners didn't have that much time for him so he was either outside or in his kennel. As a result, even though he's over two years old, he behaves like a puppy. I haven't been on the computer that much because he whines and paws at me as soon as I stop paying attention to him. My wife says he whines a lot when I leave the house and he follows me around everywhere. I swear if I had long, pointy ears and a tail, that he was my shadow. I'm sure these things will work out with time and he'll become a great dog.

That's an awesome looking dog. If anyone breaks into your house after hours I'm sure he'll take care of em.

I need to get a dog like that. My watchdog isn't nearly as ferocious



She doesn't even look at me when I come home late at night. She just sleeps the night away.

Great looking dog! Congratulations! Mine is all of 12 weeks old, so the only thing that she really is capable of protecting at this point is her food bowl and she isn't really good at that one yet.

Thanks, Buckmark. He enjoys taking ME for a walk in the evenings. LOL! What is your dog? She's cute.

Thanks also, billamj. They're great (and horrible) when they're that young. That's kind of why the wife and I decided to get a young dog as opposed to a puppy. However, he is just like a puppy in many ways because of the home he was brought up in. In fact, my wife calls him "the puppy".

Thanks Dave... She's a mix, but she's mostly Beagle. She tries like heck to lead the walking when I take her out.. but she's so light that she just kinda spins her tires.

thats a very beautifull dog! I made a thread way back when, where a bunch of people posted pictures of their dog.

Search for PETS OF PAFOA and you should see. You'll see my almost 2 year old puppy on there too!

Congrats on the new addition to the family and the ol' arsenal...I'm jealous, I only have two cats that will probally wake up long enough to bath themselves if an intruder ever come gets in, well that's untill the earth shattering KABOOM of a .45 being fired scares all 9 lives out of them.

All in all, that's a fine looking animal.
