I have a GSD named Wanda. She is 5 months old, but looks like 1 year old. I got her from a lady who unfortunately suffered a heath issue and she needed to rehome her pets permanently.
Before her I had Heidi another GSD. And before her was Molly, yet another GSD. I'm not very imaginative.
But I will never have any more pets after Wanda. Too hard on me, and also I suspect I will downsize my life a lot then.
Both Heidi and Molly saved my life directly through their actions. Thus my attachment to the breed.
But heck yeah, huskies malamutes samoyed Belgian Shepard , totally awesome. So are many others. I met many good pets. A Russian blue cat was one of the most awesome cats I ever met. Her name was Imp. Smart, kind, fun, I miss her.
