I loved the Limpics so much when they were on TV that I think we should have one for german shepherd dogs - it wouldn't be fair to other breeds to let them in as they would just cry all the time when we beat them.

The events:

Running fast

Swimming fast in a big bath

Chasing birds (my favorite)

Eating fluffies - warning, they can get caught in your throat

Most beautiful dog (I reckon I will win and my sister Sascha will come second)

Scaring people who don't like us. You know, the dummies who call us alsations.

Any more ideas?

We had training yesterday and my boyfriend Rebel wasn't there but this new kid came up to me and kissed me!

He is too shy to tell me his name so I call him Newbie. I won't tell Rebel because he gets jealous and the new kid is only 8 months old.

I just had a terrible thought. Maybe he thinks I am his mum!

I love watching the limpics on TV, especially the big bath where they do lots of splashing. Dad says it's called swimming.

I go for Germany of course.

Me watching intently:

Last Sunday we had training and there was this little fluffy that was being crazy (aren't they all?) and the trainer man made him come and lay beside me.

Of course he was terrified but I acted cool to suck him in. I don't know hs name, but when I see him next week I think it will be LUNCH!

My boyfriend Fibber is still away and his enemy Rebel is starting to look really cute. We traded a few licks when nobody was looking.

Sorry Fibber! Are you coming back?

My dog Dad, Dax, has left home and moved in with someone else, and now I have all these new half brothers and sisters. What about my dog Mum, Faith? She must be devastated.

You just can't trust men.

Somebody has stolen some posts I made earlier in the year and I am not happy about it. I asked Dad who I needed to bite but he said it was our web host and they are a long way away.

I don't know what a web or a host is but if I ever meet them they will have some explaining to do.

It looks like what I told you about having a boyfriend called Bosco at training has been lost. I had to drop him because he stopped coming to training and then hooked up with Fibber.

Did I tell you I bit a dog at training last week? This stupid Doberman was being really naughty and the trainer man called Mark made the naughty dog sit near nice dogs like me. The Doberman had his back to me, which is really rude, so I gave him a nip on the bum. Mark laughed because he loves me and doesn't like the Doberman.

Mum and Dad took me to a beach for the first time. There were not many people or dogs because it is cold here in Adelaide, South Australia where Dad says we live, but I still think we live in Germany. Isn't that where I come from?

They put me on a really long lead so I could have a big run around on the sand and it was great, but then some other dog came along and I had to go and check it out but the lead wasn't long enough.

Sorry Dad! I didn't know where the end was and didn't mean to pull you over into the sand, but it was kind of funny. I did try to lick some of that sand off you.

I hope we go to the beach again soon and maybe my boyfriend Fibber can come too.

My boyfriend Fibber has got sick legs and had to go to hospital. I wanted to go and see him but Dad wanted to know which hospital!

How did I know there is more than one dog hospital?

I hope he gets better soon. He turned up late for training at the weekend and we only had time to sneak a few licks.

When I was a little boy I loved watching Rin Tin Tin become a famous television personality and the German Shepherd has gone from an already popular dog breed to one of the most well known breeds on earth. This versatile dog breed seems to be everywhere that a dog can be of help, from war torn countries to areas where natural disasters have occurred. The powerful German Shepherd will strike terror in the hearts of criminals one minute and endure the overly affectionate attention of little children the next.
