We have a new dog.
Adopted today.
A huge German Shepherd.
10 years young.
He's a whopper.
His owner died. Family didn't want to take him on. So we did.
He's awesome!!!!
No, I won't be running him around any trail centres.
But I will be letting him run me.

Photos?
et viola!!! 
Note - He has random grey hair growing out of nose and ears...just like me!!!
Jeebus 
He's mahoosive...or you're very small.
He's lovely
thats put a smile on my face which was much needed
Dog is thinking - who is this nutter?
He looks great 
Great stuff
what a lucky boy :o)
Coolio. He'll need some exercising...
Thanks guys.
He is big.
He's only been with us a few hours.
I know it's stressful for him, but he's been a real gent.

I think you've been had, it's a brown bear!
Ahhh. I love long haird German Shepherds
Bravo to you for taking on an older dog.
He's looking at me like he wants to hurt me.
Grand looking pooch though.
You seem to have adopted a wolf!!
Very nice and yeah they be big frigging dogs.
Our Border came to us the same way his owner died, took him awhile settle was a little grumpy at times and with the kids. Now he's great and just loves the kids.
Definitely a bear.
jesus, he's huge! Our springer is nearly 2, but his personality is massive, such a poser!
Good work for rehoming the big fellah
He is enormous.
How exactly did his previous owner die.....?
An old neighbour had an Alsation that would jump up and put it's dinner plate sized paws on your shoulders to say hello. I'm 6 foot and 13 stone, and it nearly used to knock me over every time. It was a mahoosive dog, but the softest, soppiest beast that ever lived. That one, despite the size, looks like a right softie too. I'm sure he'll settle down soon. A few days of food, walk and fuss and attention and they soon realise they're onto a good thing.
However, the other thing that stuck in my mind was the fur that used to come out it when it moulted. I recommend a new Dyson.
He is ace, my neighbour has a big lad jut like that and the casting is incredible.
Could be a werewolf ... 
Good on yer!
Got 2 long coated GSDs ourselves (both rescues)
GSD's are great dogs, we still miss ours years after he passed away.
Old dogs are cool, whats his name - my 9 year old springer Brad says hi:
Yep he climbs in the pram - obviously when the baby isnt in. And yes I know letting him and taking photos isnt really responsible before you all start.
Lovely big chap.
Dogs are ace.... Mental as a bag of french... But ace.
Lovely. Absolutely brilliant.
What's his name?
Our old boy was almost 10 when we got him - he's just so loyal, loving, and a true gent.
We'll always have room for an oldie here.
Congratulations.
Thanks again everyone.
His name is Rex.
We've been looking for an older German Shepherd for a while. We've had them before so we know how great they are like, though this is our first dog, and in true French fashion he hasn't been steralized. I'm thinking it wouldn't be fair to get him done at this point.
We're really looking forwards to spending time with him.
Love it!
We've just taken on a 8 year old rescue spaniel who'd been in kennels for over 6 months. Flipping mental.
Good on you for taking the 'oldie' route.
Brilliant, best post i've seen today. Good on you for giving him a home.
They make excellent companions. Couldn't be without our GSD now.
2nd the fur comment, they lose an unbelievable amount of it. Plenty of brushing
Aw, lovely I've wanted a dog for yonks, will be wanting for a lot longer by the looks of it 
you've been suckered into re-homing a warrior bear!
In 1976 we took on a long haired German Shepherd bitch that was an ex breeding dog. She was massive! I was six yrs old at the time and used to ride her like a horse round the Garden. Loved that Dog.
