Wow Tarzan!! Whoever gets him will be in for a wonderful treat. He is beautiful, fast and has a great disposition about him. He will be a major fluff ball in the winter with all of that beautiful coat. Looks amazing at just 10 months old.
tarzan is a solid representation of a dog with extreme ball drive. A dog that takes the ball and the grass/mud underneath so forcibly is a dog with actual extreme ball drive. The rest of the dogs he shows just gently pick up the ball or not with force or determination, tarzan just goes and literally aggressively gets the ball and grass. He looks the best out of the dogs in terms of ball drive.
Gosh I love that giant fluffy german shepherd Tarzan. Dogs that give you a great full bite in prey make it easier to turn the dial on defense/fight drive work in slow increments to get a balanced dog.
My GS (west German show line stock) will be one year old in three days..he’s a super smart sweetie boy! He doesn’t have an exaggerated spine at all, it’s nearly straight, he can run and jump like a little demon..I’m surprised how lithe and agile they all are with their front legs, mine punches you in the gut (if you’re lucky that’s it’s not lower) jumping for toys, and wrestles you too. I learned not to hold up a blanket to hide, mine will charge immediately with both paws up like a bear and either punch you double or knock me down..!
New “rules” require an imported pup to be at least 6 months old, “appear healthy”, have proof of rabies, be microchipped, and have an online submission of the CDC dog import form. For Haz, this will not be a big deal. But for breeders who breed for conformation, or pet sports and usually send pups home at 8 wks, this will be a nightmare. I got both of my conformation dogs from a breeder in Canada and brought them to the US. These types of pups will now not be allowed to enter until 6 months which is crazy. I believe this has been started due to so many overseas dogs coming in as rescues in recent years. Imho this should not be done with pups coming from responsible breeders. I think the CDC has overstepped its authority on this.
