^^ thank you so much for that information. I will keep that in mind when picking out a breed best suited for me in the future!

Would training a GSD to be an agility dog to help her calm down be good or should I not work with her on agility because of her breed? What do you recommend to help her get some exercise and relieve all her built up energy?

Agility is a amazing sport, in which all dog breeds can participate in! I bet she would love agility, and it will help with her energy levels.

agility is fun if you have the resources or space for it. it honestly depends on your dogs health etc. i wouldn’t recommend it if she’s either really young ( under 6mo) or already has hip problems. you can also try going on hogs/runs with her. teaching her to search for things around the house or yard. frisbee, ball, flirt poles, bike rides etc are also other things that help tire a dog out depending on how well she does training etc and your free time

Ok thank you! She is about 2 in a half and doesn’t have any hip problems which is extremely surprising for her size!

I couldn’t resist taking some photos of my girls with my favorite rabbit tonight! He’s named after Chewie so it’s even more special.. Not quite the same as having all three of my monsters together again but it’s super cute anyways.

Gorgeous photography skills! I’d die to be able to do a photoshoot with your dogs!

My adorable teething aussie is biting more then usual I looked at her teeth and she's got an adult tooth coming in must be painful for her. Ikind of feel bad but I guess thats what happens with a 4month old puppy she'a turning 4 months tomorrow and has a vaccination appointment for one of her most important shots rabies.

@Middy those pictures are gorgeous. I am amazed at how well you've trained them to be that calm and pose with a rabbit. Molly would try to play bow at that beautiful rabbit. She's still young so I'd never trust her around a prey species I don't even trust her around my cats yet. She thinks the cats are dogs and doesn't understand why they won't play with her. Cooney my fluffy cat is encouraging her to chase him playfully. o-O so I have a cat who thinks the dog is a new cat to play with oof.

What helps my 10 week old aussie puppy with her biting is deer antlers. They don't wear down a whole lot and all my dogs and the dogs I watch love them!

I recommend putting your puppy with the cats before she gets older other wise she will never have saw them, and right now the dog is about the same size as the cat so the cat won't feel as threatened.
