Silver German Shepherd, Born 16th Jan 2008.
| Alsatians
(or German Shepherd dogs) are pretty much what their name says, and are a loving and loyal breed often a 'one man' dog. Known mainly for their
territorial and guarding instincts, this is one of the reasons why we chose a GSD, our other little girl is far too friendly and needs a bodyguard! |

Here
are some of our very first pictures of
our new little doggie in the stable in March, we have given him a
stable of his own, his soft long coat will mean it's far too warm
for him in the house. |
 |
He
was quite timid at first, but is gaining confidence daily. |
||
 |
Sometimes
he looks more like a Teddy Bear. |
||
 |
Now he has started to make himself at
home. |

This is the dog that was going to live
outside and be a guard dog, well? looks like I've been had (again),
Here's Kimba learning how to read a newspaper. He's had a good tutor in
Mishka. |
 |
He
was quite timid at first, but is gaining confidence, and here he
is being put in his place, not long now before the tables are turned,
make the most of it Mishka, he's nearly as big as you already. |
||
 |
He's
really at home now, wandering around the garden and further afield if
the gate is left open, his ears have started to meet at the top, he'll
soon grow into them. |
||
 |
Uh oh! it was too good to last, Kimba pulled
and chewed a dangling cable, the circular saw at the other
end fell on his toe (now broken, doh!). He will need that bandage for
at
least three weeks, and the satellite dish for as long as he tries to
chew at it, what a clot! The Vet is well pleased with his progress and says he will make a complete dog after all! :-) |

|
Mended at last, we were all glad when that bandage
came off. |
 |
He
hobbled around for a few days then he was back to normal, bouncing all
over Miska whenever he could. |
||
 |
He's
huge now, much bigger than Mishka... and he's only six months old.
Although he still gets his 'cuddles' it's becoming a struggle as he
buries the girls, it can't go on for much longer.... |
||
 |
He
started to limp again from the back this time, we treated a lump on his
back leg and all was well. But now he's limping at the front again, that same leg that was injured last time, Ye Gods!  |
Oct/Nov 2008
In late October, Kimba had an operation on his leg to remove some cartiledge, he'll be having the other leg done soon.
|
 |
|
But we did manage to introduce him to the sea at Hornsea, he was OK at first but then started to flee when even the tiniest of ripples were heading towards him. |
 |
Mishka and Kimba constantly play fight each
other, Kimba usually starts first then Mishka soon warms to the idea of a
game. |
||
 |
Kimba
has started watching 'The Dog Whisperer' Caesar Millan on TV, no really! he watches
intently, barks when the dogs on TV bark then runs into the kitchen to find out where they have
gone....
The
trouble is, he doesn't know
when to stop. Despite watching all those dog repair programs he's still naughty. |
||
 |
... But he STILL gets his cuddles, only now he smothers anyone and can only get halfway on the settee. Doh! I ask you? |
