My German Shepherds!

I have two german shepherds, Autumn and Thunder. They are both purebreds from New Jersey and come from a family line of show dogs. 

Autumn is the older sister. She is a beautiful, 4-year-old shepherd. Her favorite toy is a tennis ball, and she loves swimming in the pool during the summer.

Thunder, the puppy is a cute, 1-year-old, black and tan, long haired shepherd. She is a great listener and loves to cuddle.

 Both dogs love to play outside, go on long walks, and spend quality time with each other and their family! 

Thunder as a puppy!

Autumn as a puppy!

This summer my family and I have booked a vacation Upstate, NY on a large property where the dogs can run freely, play and exercise. We are all very excited for the trip.
