if you get a puppy, be prepared for some insanity. my german shorthair/lab cross turned my damn hair gray for about his first year. he's getting better, but he still acts like he's on crack all the time, even when we go running/biking/hiking/etc..


this is coltrane (pointer/lab) and fatty brown (wolf/chow)

yeah you definitely have to be a hard ass, especially with high energy breeds. it's going to be stressful no matter what though. mine knows who's boss, and what does and doesn't make me happy, but he is just teeming with energy and the only way for him to be well-behaved is to spend hours with him every day expending that energy and giving him tasks to do, things to focus on. he's extremely intelligent and learns quickly, but if i don't give him something to do, he gets into trouble..
my other one is the exact opposite. mellow, gentle, chilled out.. and they are the same age.
