Dreamscape's Binky Boy "Binks"

weight as of 4/20/06 - 63 lbs

Binks came to live in our home in June 2005. He was a couple of weeks shy of being a year old. The background I was given on Binks was the family that had him always wanted a German Shepherd, but they were Doberman breeders and they now needed to down size and wanted to sale Binks. Binks was raised with another male and female German Shepherd along with numerous Dobermans. I was told he was a real sweetheart. Prior to the owner placing Binks for sale, he bred with their female German Shepherd on "accident". How a regular breeder with that many dogs can have another dog breed with a female on accident is beyond me. Anyway he fathered 6 puppies in that litter. As I stated on my home page I am a huge fan of the German Shepherd and have extreme respect for the breed. After contacting his previous owner several times to answer numerous questions I had. I knew he needed to come to a loving home where he could excel and get the attention he deserved. Binks was to fly from Indiana to us in California. I was very concerned about him flying for his age, but I was assured by his original owner he would be fine. When he missed the first flight he was supposed to get on, I was very worried how much stress it had caused him to go to the airport, then back home, and then back to the airport to get on the next flight. Well when he finally arrived. He was so scared trying to hide at the back of his crate. He had his ears down and was very cautious.

I took him home right away and we tried to make him feel as comfortable as possible. We gave him his own space away from the girls so he could get used to us and his new home. His eyes were so blood shot red. I took him to the vet the next day and was told by my vet that is was from the stress, because of flying at his age. Binks had a heavy, longer coat than my females. But he didn't have the long hair of a long hair German Shepherd. I was a bit confused as to why his hair was so different. In observing Binks I could tell he was raised by a firm, demanding family. When ever my husband would call out to the girls Binks would find a place to hide. But if I were to call out to the girls he wouldn't run and hide but watch from a distance.

It really saddens me that such a beautiful dog was raised in such a wrong manor, but I am glad and happy to say he has learned to trust us and now when we call out to the group they all come with excitement. He still is a little shy of strangers but as long as we are with him, he feels comfortable. Binks has since shed that burley coat he had and has become a beautiful sweet dog. He still has his shy moments, but I understand him better and he understands and trusts us more. He fathered Tasha's litter she whelped in October and he now has fathered Kita's litter she whelped in January. He also has champions in his pedigree and you can see why when you look at him. He has proven to be a wonderful loving dog and father. I am very glad he came to live with us and we have shown him a life of excitement and given him the love he needed.
