Welcome, I am Navy, but I won't hold that against you. LOL :p 3 German Shepherds huh? Did you ever have a problem with them being skittish when they were younger? I have a German Shepherd but she is only 10 months old right now. Just wondering if it is normal. She has never been beaten, and she is AKC certified as well.

i got one of the shedders from Germany while I was stationed there and the other 2 i got from rescues (both 6 months old) no problems...depends on how the breeders initially socialized the pups with other dogs and people...is she skittish with certain people or every one???

My dad spent 20 years in the Navy and he told me he would lock me up till i was too old to join anything if i went navy :D

if i was SFS; legal would have denied my request due to conflict of interest...the city police where I am an auxiliary...they have jurisdiction over the base...something SFS is not happy with...i trained with the sherrifs department out here...they didn't like me so much...my dept issued me every thing i need to do the job...they had to pay for everything...

I like the color. Just seen the truck and decided to buy? I wish I could do that.
