She's about 6-7 months old and we just got her at the beginning of the month, so of course I've been taking lots of photos of her!! Enjoy :) all these were taken with my Rebel XTi (400D) using the kit lens:

Oh and for those wondering she is half german shepherd and half rottweiler. Her name is Gem (she came with that name)

    Oh yes does she chew!! So far she's chewed one of my work ties (I work for geek squad so I wear the clip on black tie)... my purse... our bath matt... tons of cardboard items if we leave them with her when we leave the house... my hair tie... yeah just about anything we leave by her if we're not paying attention she'll chew!!

    Your mix is adorable :) I can't wait to see how big she'll be at full size. My parents had a similar (but more mixed) breed with something smaller in her, because she never grew to a big size like those two dogs... (http://shima.smugmug.com/gallery/999714/3/46227399#46227399 <- my dad's dog)

    But yeah our baby is a ham for my camera, just as long as I prevent her from trying to lick the lens lol!

    Your dog like to lick everything in sight too?

    Mine will lick anything especially feet. yuk.

    The chewing finally stopped after about 2 years but he actually ate the lawn chair he is sleeping on about a month after I took this photo. We have purchased more than $200 in hoses. Sigh.

    Good luck!

    Aw that's so cute...

    But yeah she loves to lick feet and everything and anything. Glad to hear the chewing grew old though...

    Not sure if you're familiar with Japanese Tea Ceremony, but she totally chewed my whisk tonight :( I need to go and buy another one next time I go to the Japanese marketplace in Illinois now. Le'sigh...

    Aside from that though all's fun and games with her :)

    Congrats. She seems to be an happy and healthy dog, and your pictures are beautiful because they are taken also with the heart. clap.gifthumb.gif
