How to prepare for owning a German Shepherd? Dog Breed Discussions
I am twenty years old, and will be graduating college in two years. Even though it sounds premature, I would like to know how to prepare for owning a German Shepherd. I've had a greyhound for 5 years (she was a rescue), but GSDs are a very different breed. I am thinking about getting the dog around 27 or 30; when I am more settled, but I don't plan on owning another dog first, which is what everybody recommends. So how does one prepare? What are the first steps to take with a GSD puppy? I am completely ready to commit a lot of time to the dog.Since I'm 20, I thought it would be assumed the greyhound is a family dog. Guess I overestimated some of your cognitive abilities...
