Description Another German Shepherd breed template pic, I've been asked to draw quite a few GSDs lately. As a result I'm getting more and more used to them.. this one was done without refs form-wise (I used a few different ones for the markings)

EDIT: Reuploaded because the commissioner wasn't happy with the font. Hopefully this one will go down better.

If I didn't draw this for you, I don't want to see you using it :[

Just pointing out, the paws should be bigger. Can't imagine how a dog of that size could have such tiny paws. >w<

My (white) shepherd has huge paws...o_o; It's cute when she trips over them. She's 12 weeks old, so you get a little puppy flopping around the house...xD

Well this was drawn quite a long time ago and I like to think I've gotten better since then xD but thank you! That will be in mind next time :3

and yeah, puppies do. their paws grow first, I believe. floppy puppies are so cute :3

They are, but you know, they anotamy is slightly different, like the tail ALWAYS hang down.

swift-whippet In reply to KodiakSpirit [2007-03-15 18:14:27 +0000 UTC]

They're essentially the same species, but I don't think wolves are just another 'breed' of dog. They're untouched by people, have been for a long long time.

They also essentially have the same anatomy, and they both use their tails to communicate. I don't think either 'always hangs their tails down'.

WEll, I read somewhere on the internet that wolves tails don't curl. I guess your right.

swift-whippet In reply to KodiakSpirit [2007-03-15 19:31:01 +0000 UTC]

They might not curl, but it doesn't mean they always keep them down.

KodiakSpirit In reply to swift-whippet [2007-03-15 19:33:47 +0000 UTC]

Yea, it might have said that they hang down when they aren't agressive... I think, but I have no idea what it said. Just a guess.

I love German Shepherds! It was one of the first breed of dog I learned to love!! And you drew them just beautifully. Great job; I love the shadows on his coat and his little subtle smile and expression. ^__^ I wish I could pet him, and it looks like I almost could! Again, great job. I really like him!

Cool! The name 'Logan' for a German Shepherd reminds me of Wolverine from the X-men comics and the movie. LOL! I think it really suits him! Great work!

I love how show German Shepherds stand. Their hindlegs lay low and my mom doesn't like it too well they walk, but I think it's georgous. I'm SO glad you portrayed that well. ^_^

poothos [2006-01-11 20:56:52 +0000 UTC]

The markings and colors look a bit odd for a german shepperd... they're generally more orangegoldish, with a brown-to-black saddle, no? But, the anatomy and sloping back give it away I love your dogs, they're always so perfect to the breed. <333

You're probably right, but I've seen some pretty pale ones in my time. There's even a completely cream version. And I don't like to make my darks -too- dark, or you can't see the expression Thanks

Ohyah, I know about the white ones They're smex, but I prefer the tanandblack breed But, did you mean breeding a GSD with a white GSD? That would be cool... o-o; hm... >>;
I've always wanted to breed a golden retriever and a gsd, cause... they're both incredibly trainable dogs... and I think it would make the best police and blind dog ever. o_o; *shot* xD

swift-whippet In reply to poothos [2006-01-12 22:46:48 +0000 UTC]

No I didn't, there have been some GSDs I've seen with the dark markings and a very light tan part, so my colours are pretty alright I think.

Well, you could always develop that as a new breed xDD

poothos In reply to swift-whippet [2006-01-14 16:40:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes o-o I think it would be fun to breed dogs. |D And fewwets, I wanna breed them too. But I dunno if I'm good enough, cause ya, I would be worried of messing of the gene pool like them dudes did with the rottweilers and mastiffs x-x;

swift-whippet In reply to poothos [2006-01-14 16:56:50 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, same with me.. I wouldn't go there either, it's just too risky and irresponsible if you don't know what you're doing. The Goldne Retriever has also been damaged as a breed because of irresponsible breeders.. of course there are some jokers who would anyway just to get money for puppies D<

it has? o__o; uhghug... ;; what did they do? like aggressiveness? X__x; uhg.. people are SO irresposible... ><; If I were to breed, I would first breed my OWN dogs, and then if they're turning out okay, then MEBBE I would breed with other people... x-x; but I would be so strict with who I breed...

and still... I don't trust myself. Dx
