German Shepherds were my first K9 love! When I was 14, I made friends with two local guard dogs of a business, one was a silver and black retired NYPD drug-sniffing K9. How I made friends was I’d go to the butcher shop a few doors down, ask the butcher for some bones, and then go feed the two guard dogs. Guess who became best friends?! When the owners were selling the business, they asked me if I wanted the German Shepherd since we had such a special bond. Of course I said “yes!” I took Mia home with me and used that favorite childhood line “Mom, Dad, look what followed me home!” My parents being the pet-loving folks they were, adopted her. We moved out of the city and to update New York where Mia, who my folks renamed Taffy, worked as a guard dog for my father’s business by night and lived the life of a family ranch Shepherd by day! I loved that girl! And to think she was once a tough working K9 police officer and yet adjusted to her new family life. When I married my husband, our first two dogs we adopted were German Shepherd mixes! I love Gunner’s name…and the photos are just beautiful! What a stunning dog he is!

Couldn’t agree more that Gunner has the perfect family – so much love and joy! Definitely a big proponent of not buying, supporting mom and pop breeding as it often leads back to puppy mills. We’ve rescued one from a puppy mill – and it is was lot of dedicated loving work to help her. You go Gunner, continue being the goofy, loving doggo that you are!
