Gustine, 9
months, with Nancy
This picture was taken a few days before she
left for GDB for her hip eval. You can see compared to the 4.5
month picture displayed below, she has lightened up in the face
some, but she's still pretty dark. She's a very pretty dog.
Sitting pretty, Gustine poses nicely for her "adult" pictures.
A very nice head shot even if she does look a bit worried.
I think this was one of the last pictures, she looks very
stressed by all the flashing lights, etc.
Gustine at 4.5 months. She is
looking much more like a "real" GSD with longer fur, and is growing
into her ears. She is a sweet, happy, friendly girl.
On December 16th, 2001, Gustine returned to Guide Dogs for the Blind for an evaluation of her hips. Unfortunately, her hips were found to be pretty badly displastic, so she was career changed, spayed, placed in a pet home. Gustine is now the much loved companion of Kelli and her family in Seattle, WA. Here is a picture of Gustine with her mom Kelli and friend Phil. They also took Gustine to get her picture taken with Santa at yule time.
Here is another picture of Gustine with her canine family (while she was still at my house.) Left to right are Gustine, Anchorage, Nancy, Chynna and Detroit.

yule party. Gustine was 9 months old in this picture.
Gustine at 9
weeks old, shortly after arriving in Logan. She had a very short
sleek coat, not fluffy and fuzzy like other GSD puppies I've raised.
Another picture of Gustine with the mom of the
family that picked her up from the puppy truck.
So far, Gustine is proving to be a happy, if somewhat noisy puppy. She loves to eat and wants to play with the big dogs, although she is kept on leash so she doesn't pester them too much.
At four months old, Gustine had most of her adult coat in, and
i'm happy to report that is is longer than her puppy coat. She
"feels" more like a german shepherd now! She is very tall, long and
lanky, and her tail is twice as long as Cherilynn the labrador's.
Before Gustine, I rasied another GSD pup, a male named Anchorage. You can
see pictures of Anchorage on his own
webpage.
Gustine is a Gerhart/Jaffra puppy, Gerhart's father is Dave,
my own Detroit's brother. You can see
Gustine's great
uncle, Detroit, on his own web page.
