I am thinking, since I may not have children for a while, if at all, and I treasure my doggie so much, that perhaps in a couple of years (since she's sterilised), I may think of getting another little German Shephard baby for her and to raise and keep.. she's been a very temperamental dog (and our communication is really really beautiful!), and just the other day we walked by a man with a baby Shephard on a lead next to him, and instead of her jumping at it, since she's developed a lot lately, for the first time she pierced her ears when passing and looked curiously at it, when she passed and seemed to recognise its young age. I got her with 5 weeks old, far too young, unfortunately, and although she is very good with people, she missed the extremely important developmental phase with her brothers and sisters, the socialising and learning her limits and the strength of her bite and that. But I think I'm getting her round slowly and in a couple of years, when she's 8 or 9 (6 now), she may be ready for that invaluable experience of 'raising' (co-'raising') a little pup..
