Question about dogs

I've been contemplating getting another dog since the little mutt we have now is starting to get some age on her.  She is a good dog, but way too small and timid for my taste.

 

What I want to buy is a male German Shepherd puppy.  So how much do you guys think I should expect to pay for a pure blood puppy?

Na, you want a Great Pyrennes.  He ain't small, and while he isn't mean at all his bark is very intimidating to people he doesn't know.  He backed off all the people trying to TP my house both when I was in HS, and now that my sister is in it, not to mention all the strangers that show up.  Paid $150 for him, which is on the lower end of the price scale.  It all depends on if you want one with champion bloodlines, or just a good dog.  We just wanted a good dog, and got one.

It depends on the blood lines...

 

A good shepherd is gonna cost $400 on up!!!!  Remember you are making a friend for the next ten years of your life so $40/year is very little....

 

German Shepherds are great dogs!!!  They are protective and they can be docile with kids too....   Make sure you meet both parents (dogs) and take some people with you, so you can see how they react to more than one person...

I agree, they are great dogs. I had one(a female) and she was great for people, but had the size and bark to scare off unwanted trespassers. I often think about getting another one. Beautiful dogs and aren't very common.

$40 a year to be Kyle's friend?  That's a little steep isn't it?   :jester:

Sorry guys, but my friend with the long brown hair and a nice rack (just for you Digs :)) gets the first shot at the money in my friendship account.  The rest of you can fight over what is left....   :jester:

Depending on the Blood Line anywheres from $400 -$1500

Depends what you are looking for..... whatever you decide, training is the key, big dogs get a bad rap anyways.

 

I have a Rottie, paid $600, worth every penny

I would never own anything other than a Golden Retriever. They are the best dogs. Loyal, easy to train, good disposition. I had one for nine years and he was my best friend. About $400 to $600 from a good breeder. Don't buy from a petshop. They usually come from puppy mills and you never know what you're getting.

We had a golden, they are great dogs.  I really bonded with ours, too bad she passed away  :cheers:   She was a real junkyard dog - we got her from the owner of a junkyard.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
