Akando came from Minnesota on a big jet airplane. He didn't mind the trip as much as the Sun. The desert sun was so hot, he only wanted to lay down in the shade. He had lots of space there to run and play, but mostly just sat on his fuzzy butt, where it was cool. He especially liked the air conditioning vent. He learned all about walks and food and baths, and how to go outside for potty. Then Banshee came to stay and be his sister. At last, somebody to play with and chew on. She was awfully small, but had a bark just like a big puppy. It wasn't even another week before Daddy, Uncle, Banshee and him all moved to Seattle, the land of cool greenery. He likes the cool much better, though the rain takes some getting used to. Now with his adult fur and lanky puppy legs, he can out-pace even his daddy on their daily walks. If only he could get those pesky ears to stand up straight all the time!
What a cute little snowball. Our puppy's ears are all over the place. The breeder said their ears change direction as their skull grows. I don't know if that's true. Is his sister going to make an appearance? It would be nice to see the two of them together
Only 10.61 biscuits! Who gives these beautiful creatures less than 11??? Akando, you are a beautiful boy. Many years of happiness and health to you x
Oh wow Akando what a sweetie. I love those ears and you're so fluffy poppet. All the hugs and cuddles in the world. Have a lovely life.
Isn't he just saying "I'm hot, tired and hungry, so give the camera a rest" in that picture? I love the ears, in all their floppiness. Loves and huggles from Sophie and Geri.
he is just to cute to handle!! the ears are so sweet! lots and lots of cuddles and kisses and biscuits XX
give me the cookie...c'mon give me the cookie...i mean look at me i am so cute!... This little guy is so cute!
Oh I love those ears I didn't have my shepherd as a puppy she was 14 months old and 2 previous owners along the line before we were lucky enough to have her come and live with us so the ears were passed this stage though she does still manage to get them in a pickle at times! Akando is beautiful and I am sure you will have many yrs of fun and happiness with her and her sister. Will we be seeing pics of her as well or may be together that would be nice :)
Well the pesky ears are cute just like that and he only has to listen to part of what he hears. Wishing all of you a wonderful, fun life together always. Many bisquits for Akando and Banshee too.
Oh Akando....I do not blame you for hating the heat! I do too!!! I am so happy that such a precious puppy is now in cooler weather!!! :)
What a fabulous boy . . . with the world's best ears!! White German Shepherds are so dashing. I am pleased to see Akando's biscuits are up nearer where they ought to be -- 10.92 when I voted.
I'm with Akando - A/C is where it's at! What a lovely fluffy boy! Enjoy! Biscuits and bellyrubs from Pam in Toronto.

I just had to join today, am having trouble downloaded my babys photo, I have 2 White German shepherds 2 1/2 and 2 years old. Your baby is so adorable, her ears will go up and then she'll be all ears. This is the best breed in my eyes, they are very loyal and smart. Enjoy your baby
I got their phot in finally, she'll turn out just beautiful with ears up, oh she nmakes me want another...
Akando, you are very beautiful. I love how you are just strutting along with your gorgeous tongue flopping, legs in sync, just enjoying.:) What a great puppy. Hugs from Elizabeth and Miss Katie =O)
What a beautiful pup! I like your flippy ears! I'm very glad that you were able to move to a cooler place. Seattle is lovely.
Banshee, you are lovely! And don't worry about the asymmetrical positioning of your ears--it just adds to your cuteness!
Awwww wonky ears! I love the wonky ear stage of German Shepard puppyhood. They are just so goofy looking :). Enjoy your beautiful fluffy baby.
Aww! He's stopping to smell the flowers. I love white german shepherds--so pretty and unusual! And Akando's ears are sooo cute! I hope you will post pictures of Banshee eventually--with that name, I am extra-curious to see what she looks like!!
I ToO love Akando's ears!! I hope Daddy will keep them adorably natural! ..You will! ..won't you Daddy?? I think WHiTE German shepherds are thee most regal of dogs!! GREAT BEACH dogs! Beautiful, he!:)

what a fugly dog butim happy b/c even my squished dead dog looked better than this piece of crap. eww i think i just puked in my mouth from looking at it too long
don,t you have anything better to do then be a total ass. I think people like that are't very bright and need to grow up.Anyway i think your baby is beautiful and love those eyes and ears.
poor FU is suffering from cuteness overload. Akando is sooo cute that he went right past the saccharine point and got ill! Let us not blame him for this malady, for Akando is, indeed, exceedingly cute. It could happen to the best of us.
Although albinism is linked to blindness, please note that Akando is not albino at all. He has a black nose, black claws, black lips, black eyelids, and brown eyes. White german shepherds do not have any such genetic flaws - though they certainly are their own flavor of german shepherd neurotic. (which I say with the deepest affection)
Its not obvious, because the camera caught him at high shutter speed, but Akando is in mid-shake here.
Akando, you are so cute. You remind me of my little Misty when she was a pup. LOTS OF HUGS & BELLY RUBS.
Akando, ---you are gorgeous!!!!!!! I have a six year old german shepherd, who is the love of my life and her ears took ages to prick up. Lots of hugs and kisses!!!!!
Totally adorable!!! Wishing you many years of hugs, kisses, doggy biscuits and fun times with your lucky owners!!! xoxoxo
Akando is beautiful. I would love to hug him and smother him with kisses. He is such a fur ball. Hope you enjoy many wonderful years with him.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Hmmm....I LOVE my mom and dad and Banshee! What an adore baby and I love the two kinds of ears! Give that baby a bunch of biscuits and love for me!
Gotta stop and smell the flowers sometimes! Don't worry Dad, my ears will stand. They will be as tall as the sky! Many years of blessed health for you and yours!
he is sooooo much to say but he is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo cute i will eat it all hes very playful somtimes hes serios he loves getting pet hes hand some he loves going to the beach loves the smell and the water and plays gamesan parks and other places loves taking a walk 12 bicuits
Akando you are perfectly handsome! My Sheltie Bobby says to tell you that he has the same trouble with his ears 'cause his mommy wouldn't let the breeder glue them up, and he's gorgeous too just the way he is! Besides the droopy ear is to protect the inside of their ears from all kinds of things, like sunburn on white dogs. ENJOY, ENJOY!
Beautiful child, lovely eyes very soulful. He will grow into a very large loving protector of his pack. Love him!!
Looks like he is trying real hard to get those ears up. LOL. What a sweet lookin pup. I think the lazy ear is cute.
Awww- What a little prince. Best of luck. Hey FU, grow up- Don't we have some kind of pill we can give this cancer to just go away!!!
Please...... Please......... Can I please have a treat? That puppy face is so cute! Love the ears! Cutest thing!
Love those ears!
