Holy Sh$%t!!! Your Gorgie IS an exact copy!! How tall is he? Kavik is really big for a GSD. He is 28 inches at the shoulder which is a full 2 inches taller than the biggest measurmet for the breed. I have no idea how much he is going to weigh...the poor guy only weighs 35KG at the moment and that is with being skin and bones. I'm expecting him to put on at least another 20kg.

Kavik was really lethargic when I first got him. I don't take my dogs for really long walks as I have a joint problem, but the usual 30-40 minute walk was to much for him. The vet found that he was loosing weight rather than gaining. So I cut it in half and suddenly he seems to be putting on weight and has more energy. He doesn't really know how to play with other dogs but he wants to play with me. I'm sure Ookie will teach him. The biggest thing I've noticed is that he is sent marking now. He used to just piss out everything when we went out. Now he takes his time and sniffs things out. He acts more like a dog. You know?

It's funny because I got Kavik to comfort Ookie after we lost her friend in November. She was so heart-broken I couldn't leave her alone.

*LMAO* My husband doesn't believe me that your dog isn't our dog!

Helena45, I was wondering. How old is your Gorgie? Maybe Kavik and Gorgie came from the same breeder?? wouldn't that be something! I swear he must be from a breeder. He's so gorgous and the perfect shape for a GSD. Just that Whites are not allowed to be show dogs.

Hi Mayvren Georgie measures just over 28" at the shoulder, also just like Kavik, so I wouldn't have thought you want him much over 45 kgs, although my vet said he really would like to see him at 43 kgs. but I just can't do it, but you certainly wouldn't want him anywhere near 55kgs. as he'll be too heavy, too much weight to carry and in turn that will affect his joints. Speak to your vet to see what his ideal weight would be and I really wouldn't have thought it's over 45 kgs.

They're more common than you think these whites. There's a lady near me who breeds them and she currently has 5 of her own. It wouldn't have been my first choice I can tell you, but I couldn't resist him when he landed on my doorstep through a friend of a friend and the local dogwarden who also knew me, it was just meant to be I've always had the longcoats I much prefer them, don't ask me why, but I think their temperaments are slightly better (runs and hides!!!) and I've only ever had one shortcoat standard gsd and she didn't like other dogs! My last one, was black with a few white markings, very longcoated, very beautiful, very smart, and very just about everything you could have wished for, and oh how I miss that dog even now, 6 months down the line, it still hurts Just me and old Georgie now No more for us either, we're getting too old, had too many problems with the last 2, and we want a bit of freedom when we get old! Enjoy your new boy, I'm sure you'll make each other happy if he's anything like Georgie in his personality.

Thanks for the tip about how much to feed Kavik. I was not sure how heavy he is supposed to get. I've never had such a large dog. A White wasn't my first choice either. I had put down at the Rescue that I wanted a Black or mostly black if I could. But how could I say no when they offered me a half GSD let alone a White? *lol* It's fate when they chose a dog for me.

I still think they might be related. They look so simialr and are the same height. *winks*

Lol yes! You could be right, but I've noticed they actually ALL look the same! We have another one on here Lexus belonging to Danish Pastry, now she's gorgeous, bit chunkier, and soooo pretty! I'm sure if you search, you'll find some pics of her!

There's my gorgeous boy

I'd go for about 40kg's as he's quite a big dog. Any more than that could put him in the 'overweight' category (like my lump of a GSD )

He'll learn to play in time. My boy still doesn't know how to play properly and he's 8 in May. He thinks by clamping his gob round another dogs neck gets the desired results, sadly it's not the one's he thinks he's going to get

Georgie is the same with other dogs, he doesn't quite know how to play Mind you Cassie got him playing within half an hour when he first arrived here, but he played far too rough for her liking so he would get a good telling off sometimes, and then he learned how he must go running outside with her, and instantly lay down and submit by rolling upside down so she could leap on him! Lol! They were funny together, they played and played and played constantly, but since losing her, that has NEVER happened again with any other dogs. They all try, but he's totally disinterested, there was only ever one girl for him

He was hardly ever walked in his past life, and he was only allowed to carry his ball in his mouth, nobody was allowed to throw it

Glad you still have feelings for him Corrie!!! I'm sure he reciprocates!

Oh yes, he's still my babe
