Hacking-Hack - specially for you (and any other GSD owners)

Don't you dare laugh at the handler

Picture of Granit, taken at about 9 months I think, when he was definitely at the ugly duckling stage, and a head study when he had become a more handsome chap.

Sorry the pics are a strange size, son scanned them in and I can't get them right on photobucket

And to other GSD owners, there is quite a good chance this lad is in your dogs pedigrees, abeit a long way back

Fantastic - thanks for posting these

look at the size of him at nine months!!!

Folks - this is probably the most important GSD of his era, sired oodles of champions and his stamp was seen across many generations.

MM, you must be very proud to have had this chap in your household.
He is up there with Invictor and Uran as some of my all-time favourites.

Aaw thanks H-H, he was a lovely chap to have around, so laid back it wasn't true. His pet name was Simba, think you can see why from the pic, he had the most enormous paws

I think that giant paws must be a sable thing

He always did strike me as being very lionesque!
