A new German Shep has entered our lives and his name is Redd. Not a name we chose, his previous owners named him it and as he answers to it we have decided to keep it. Personally I do not care much for the name. Redd is 2 years old and we are his 5th owners, poor love. We got a phone call from a friend who said if we wanted him his owners were getting rid of him. Seems the wife was frightened of him, he had growled at her and on another occasion nipped someone who tried to take his food away. So he had to go.
We have had him a few days, I have been careful with him around his food, to see how he behaves. He has been really well behaved, so I wonder what they did to make him growl or nip. His one flaw which we will work on is his tendency to bark at various things. People walking by, a loud noise or a door closing.
It is so nice to have a dog in the house again but I had not expected to get another one so soon.
