We have shown him from the beginning that Alpha here is us, not the animals, and certainly not him. To his credit, he has only gone after the cats a few times, and not aggressively more like "Hey get back and play with me!" But the problem is he snaps at their tail. So we have taught him NO CHASE and he knows to back away from the cats even when they approach him. I am amazed daily at how truly intelligent this puppy is- far beyond any other german shepherd we have had. He is also turning red now- which is really cool! His dad is pure white and his mom is sable/black

That is one seriously sacked out puppy! Such a pretty boy!

Nice to see Wink seems to have the upper hand in that relationship! Lol! They usually do!

I'm glad to hear your puppy is getting along (for the most part) with the cats. When I was growing up, my family had a German Shepherd and she was a smart cookie. She learned new commands very fast.

Here's a picture of the German Shepherd I had years ago.

Oh my what a beauty! I know you miss her- thanks for sharing!

Awwww, Hissy, I am in LOVE with that pup! What a cutie-patootie!

i noticed that his dad taz is white, so is it his mom that is sable and black? or is it a typo?

Mary Anne, in that link is that Vader's dad? because you said his Mum was the pure white one?

Anyway, he is so beautiful - he brings tears to my eyes thinking of my RB GS Soul.

He is such a cutie!

Oops thanks guys- sleep would be a wonderful thing right now- It was a goof on my part-

WOW, Taz is GORgeous!! No wonder he has a handsome son.

Heidi was a lovely girl, too. Thanks for sharing, MissCharlotte!

MA he's going to be one handsome boy when he grows up

He takes his job as pinecone collector quite seriously!

-cute photos Mary Anne! I'm glad Vader is learning how to get along well with others.
