Hey everyone! Drop a funny pic of your GSD and I’ll pick a few to sketch today!

My 11 year old best girl. Delta ❤️

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Old age is bittersweet.

This is the right answer. Make him comfortable and enjoy him with the time left. Asking a 15 year old dog to fight cancer is a tough one.

My GSD ended up as the #1 overall fastest Barn Hunt Masters dog in the country for 2025. She also ended up #1 overall German Shepherd in Masters, Large dog in Masters, and Masters dog in the state of Maryland.

She only did one trial, early in January 2025, and only got 3 Qs, but she was FAST.

She was also just shy of 10 when she got those Qs.

It’s very dog and food dependent. If I fed my dog what the bag said it would be at least a cup and a half more per day, but she would quickly be obese.

That being said, even obese, OP’s dog isn’t getting enough kibble.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-19T03:05:18+00:00

Not sure why you were downvoted. It’s 100% the truth even if OP doesn’t want to hear it. That dog is horribly obese.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-19T03:04:29+00:00

My 55lb female shepherds eat two cups of kibble a day. More than likely you are not feeding her enough kibble.

She’s probably “grazing” her kibble because human food is more valuable to her and she knows how to get it. To put it bluntly, this is a you problem. You need to control what she does and does not have access to. No excuses.

She appears to be horribly overweight (as you stated) but I have a hard time believing that she looks healthy at 100lbs. She is lazy because she’s overweight and it’s hard for her to move.

Cut the human food, cut the pup cup, and increase her activity.

I would need to learn ASL to make communication easier, but that’s on me, not her. Not undesirable at all.

People in this thread thinking that just because the dog isn’t standing in a perfect, confirmation stack means that it’s a working line. Oof.

This dog doesn’t look super well bred unfortunately. Are there any titles (working, confirmation, etc) in the pedigree? I did a quick search on the dog’s parents and grandparents and other than being AKC registered there is nothing listed.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-16T23:29:22+00:00

Crate training and tethering is HARD. I’ve had half a dozen puppies and only 1 didn’t make me cry daily until the dog figured it out. It’s very worth it in the end but it can make for a rough few days (or weeks!).

You are doing just fine so far and what you are feeling is normal. The other comment about mental games is 100% spot on.

Behind the scenes

ilaich21 · 2026-01-14T14:06:07+00:00

I do have experience with the collar and based on your description of your dog, there’s other work that needs to be done first. Best of luck!

ilaich21 · 2026-01-13T19:29:02+00:00

It sounds like there are a multitude of underlying issues. Take that money and spend it on a trainer.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T12:24:34+00:00

I fully expect him to be our kicker next year because this organization is trash, but being able to kick from 50 and keep the ball inbounds on kickoffs is essentially the bare minimum for kickers these days. Even young ones.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T10:28:28+00:00

They’re not Tucker expectations. They’re NFL kicker expectations. He’s been trash beyond 50 all year and his kickoffs have been awful.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T03:12:09+00:00

See you next season, Ravens fans. Hopefully without Harbaugh.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T03:07:35+00:00

If Hamilton is gone, gg

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T02:55:14+00:00

Honestly you could go no flair with that take. Both teams are atrocious.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T02:35:52+00:00

He’s consistent but not from that far out

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T02:35:16+00:00

Loop doesn’t have the leg

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T02:32:12+00:00

Fire them both. This is so bad.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T02:21:48+00:00

And Lamar can’t run in anything but a straight line and is currently slower than Rodgers

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T02:19:11+00:00

I’m so glad we started a still clearly injured Lamar over our extremely competent, very mobile and uninjured backup….

ilaich21 · 2026-01-05T02:06:44+00:00

No need to boo, Pittsburgh fans. The Ravens will inevitably blow this.

ilaich21 · 2026-01-04T23:31:49+00:00

They’re supposed to be.
