Re: OT - My YouTube video

HA! This one lives to be in water. When we're in the pool, he wades right in and swims around. We have a pond and there is a creek in the woods, never mind any large puddle he can find. The GSD likes water long as her feet are still touching. She'll come down steps of pool but if you offer to bring her in she's out of there. Nothing like the smell of a dog that's been swimming in a creek or pond. Swamp Thing

Oh man, I love yellow labs, the big galoots! Being so near the bay, I wish I had a dog that had a natural affinity for water. It's so much fun to watch when people bring their labs or other water-loving dogs down to the beach to play! My dogs act like they're going to melt if their tootsies get wet. :-(

Well, I think there are black GSDs? Mine has a lot of black. She has a silver spot over one shoulder. Someone told us that is East German lines. I don't know, but the funny thing was my pound puppy GSD/? had the same silver on his shoulder, so if that's true he came from similar lines. We weren't necessarily looking for a shepherd, never mind a purebred dog, just looking through local ad magazine looking for a large dog to replace the ones we'd lost. Then my sis in law had a friend who had to find a home for a yellow lab and we took him. The two get along beautifully - it is hard to see the TV with two big dogs having a wrestling match righ in front of it though!
