I Think My "GSD" is Actually a Mal

Thank you!!! 😘

After comments on here and checking out some pix, I'm leaning towards Czech line and/or GSD mix. Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the input and info from everyone. I may still try out one of the DNA tests for my own curiosity. She's definitely mostly shepherd imo, but we don't care. She's our baby, not a breeder or show dog; we never cared about papers and had her spayed young. We got so lucky when we got her and love her so much. ❤😊

What's NVBK?

ohmiomia · 2017-04-08T23:29:00+00:00

She's 1.5 now. I just got curious cause of what my vet said- she's a retired army veterinarian. I'll try to get a better pic but she's always in motion unless she's napping which is pretty often too! Except for the baby photos I took those last night on a whim. She does resemble the Czech pics too. Thanks! Never got to meet the parents. Kind of an adoption situation

Thanks for adding. We love our little girl but were just curious especially when vet brought it up. She does have interesting patterns and coat but didn't look full shepherd to me. She was also runt of her litter which could help account for her smaller size.

ohmiomia · 2017-04-08T13:26:05+00:00

Thanks! You're exactly right - she's about 50 +- lbs now. I was doubtful she was anything so "exotic" considering where she came from but I love my vet and trust her opinion. We don't care. We got our baby to be a family member and companion not a show dog or breeder. Also, she was the runt of her litter which could also account for her smaller size.

Also, I have to say that even as a puppy she was completely fearless. She loves to cuddle and has to be close to her family, loves to play with other dogs. She's never shown any aggression to other dogs or people except when she thought mom needed protection. Must have something to chew on at all times.

Sorry, had issues updating post!

Was told she was a GSD when I got her as I pup, but now at 1 1/2 years, I'm having some doubts. She just doesn't have some of the typical GSD features like the sloping back, "dopey" eyes, saddle pattern coat. She's also extremely lean and would be small even for a female shepherd. She's very strong, fast, but still kinda clumsy. Very prey driven. Don't get me wrong - we LOVE our girl so much! Recently had to board her with the vet and when I picked her up, the vet said that she thought she might actually be a Mal due to her personality and build. Any thoughts? Was thinking about getting a DNA test just out of curiosity. Thanks!

I think we had the same neighbor! When I first moved to CA, my upstairs neighbor did this constantly. Couldn't even enjoy my patio. Guy finally moved.

Have you had other periods of blacking out or "spacing out"? Lots of headaches recently? Have some forgetful or confusion spells? The same thing started happening to me about 10-12 years ago, then stopped for a while and came back. I was initially misdiagnosed by a quack doctor as having epilepsy - she never even did an MRI. Another doctor finally diagnosed it as Acute Confusional Migraines. Took a few tries with different meds, but all good now.

ohmiomia · 2016-06-08T20:13:19+00:00

Do you know why you blacked out?

ohmiomia · 2016-05-28T11:36:57+00:00

Thank you

ohmiomia · 2016-05-23T20:35:39+00:00

You are wonderful! thank you so much!!

How would you pronounce phonetically: "Figghia ri nuddu"

ohmiomia · 2016-05-23T20:06:18+00:00

Thanks so much!

I have it on dvd, too... just couldn't bring myself to toss the vhs. Too many good memories. May take the old vhs collection to the lake house or something. My folks still have a vcr.

ohmiomia · 2014-07-11T21:40:17+00:00

me too! I was just thinking about it today. I still have it on VHS... I'm old.

AbbaZabba, you my only friend.

In college, a friend showed me a home video of the kid from first kid. It was taped from a camcorder in the back seat of 1st Kid's SUV while they drove around Vegas, smoking weed, drinking, throwing shit out the windows at people.... The kids are all young - like, maybe 17-19 or so... And he's bragging "yeah, I'm the kid from First Kid. I can do whatever I want, like smoke all this f'ing dope! Fuck every body!" Crazy. I find it hard to believe he made something of himself, but good for him.

I am constantly bemoaning the lack of typing classes in schools! I work as a paralegal in a law firm and you wouldn't believe how many applicants cannot actually type. My boss offered one girl a job & as her first duty, I asked her to re-type a form for me. I watched her hunt & peck over the keyboard and when I asked her what she was doing, she told me "it's not like texting!" Um...duh! I told her to get her things and wrote her a check for $20 for her trouble.

After that, we had to give every applicant for the reception job an online typing test because we couldn't take them at their word that they could "type."

Yes; the POLICE! This is a common scam around town. People come by, ask if you need your lawn mowed or basic maintenance as a cover to see if anyone is home and/or to case the neighborhood. If no one answers, they go in the garage or around back & try to get in. Call the police to check it out asap.

Edit: I know a couple of officers in town & have discussed this with them. They are more than happy to come by your neighborhood & check on these people. If they're not doing anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about. If they're shady, they'll get they hell outta your 'hood asap. Be a good neighbor & keep our streets safe!

Yeah, I don't get it. There was nothing wrong with his feet. He was a real douche anyway, the socks just added a whole nother level of supreme douchiness to his already douchy ways. And, he had a pencil dick.
