Pics of Nika ~ 56K Warning

Nika is a 16 week old pedigreed longcoat GSD

 

Awww how cute, She looks great, i used to breed GSDs but never got a black one, my mum did but not me
Remember that black dogs do not tolerate the heat very well due to there black fur atracting the sun rays...

Thanx charmedagain

Nika isnt doing to badly in the heat (been in the 30's and predicting a very hot summer here this year)

I have plenty of containers of water around and there is plenty of shaded areas for the dogs. Nika jumps in the water containers to cool off also. So, so far so good And if the dogs appear to be doing badly (Scoob doesnt like heat at all!) I hose them down to cool them.

Heat is something they and i have to deal with yearly, part of living in the tropics, you just have to be mindful and careful

 

Pretty boy! Look at those ears! He's got some radar detectors there!!!

Glad to see he's got a better conformation than most being bred these days.
Looks alot like a Shiloh shepard, with the longer coat.

Do you have any working plans for him or just a pet?

 

Nika (pronounced Nee - ka) is a girlie dog

Yeah she's still gotta grow into the ears *L*

I'm planning to do obedience trialling with her, and breed with her at a later date (providing she passes her testing)

Her conformation is why i went with the breeder i did, i really do not like the show shepherds they are producing, to much hunch back for me, looks horrid. Nika is from working lines, has a straighter back and well, i may be biased, but a far better look overall.

 

She, sorry!!!

Yes she does. It sickens me to see the "show" gsd's crippled. Last show i was at this one odog was litterally walking on his hocks. It was awful.

 

What a cute fluffy pup
