It’s been a while since I gave an update on Max, our sweet German Shepherd. He joined our family on Christmas Day, 2013. He was only six weeks old, but it wasn’t long before Max became the boss of us all. Yeah, he’s a little bossy and he likes to be large and in charge.
Here’s a look back at Max, the puppy. Let’s say it all together, “Awww!”
Max is now 2-1/2 and he’s very protective of the boys. He’s loyal, super-intelligent and when they’re outside playing, he tries to keep them on the straight and narrow. Yes, he herds them. German Shepherds were originally developed to herd sheep so Max herds the kids. He thinks he’s their boss. We think so too.
Update on Max
He’s trying to look all big and bad in this photo, but he’s really a gentle giant and loves everyone, including the mailman.
When I’m outdoors watering the plants and flowers, he likes to drink from the jug. It’s clean, cool and refreshing, so I let him.
Max’s favorite game is playing fetch. There’s only one problem. He refuses to give the ball back. We’ve tried over and over to train him, but he will chase the ball down, run straight back and refuse to give up the ball. After playing tug of war with the ball, he finally releases it and is ready for round two.
When it comes to feeding Max, I’m very picky. When I heard about CANIDAE® Grain-Free Pure dog food, I was intrigued by the story behind the independent, family-owned pet food company.
Max is impressed with CANIDAE® Grain-Free Pure for completely different reasons – the taste. Normally, Max will not eat as long as you are looking at him. He’s funny that way. We usually have to ignore him in order for him to eat. Those days are over. Thanks, CANIDAE®!
Did CANIDAE® Grain-Free Pure pass the sniff test? Yes, it did!
Max dug right in and didn’t care at all that he was being photographed while he ate.
Then he got real comfy!

Funny how our dogs just seem to take over. My dog, Milo, is the same way. He thinks he is the boss 😉
Max is such a cutie! Aren’t dogs just the best? This month (May) marks one year since we welcomed our dog Loki into the family. Adopting him was truly the best decision I’ve ever made <3
Max is a gorgeous boy! No wonder he rules the roost. It’s awesome that he watches over the boys too. We had a German Shepherd when I was a little girl, I remember him well. Those big feet!
Max clearly enjoys his new food! I’ll check the site to see if it’s available in our area.
So funny! My dog will do the same sometimes, I guess it takes too much energy to eat and has to lay down 🙂 My dog is pretty picky about his food, maybe this would be something he would like.
So cute, it looks like Max is eating well and thriving. He was so adorable as a puppy but grew up really fast.
Aww, he’s looking super healthy. I’m glad he likes the new food. It sounds high quality!
Awww I loved reading this update on Max, he is a very handsome doggy!
I haven’t seen this in my area so I’m going to check the store locator to see where I can buy it to try. Your Max is just beautiful.
oh my word. max is gorgeous! I grew up with german shepherds. I just think he’s a doll. He looks healthy as can be. Such a great food!
Max is a real cutie. My kids really want a dog someday, I think we would get a german shepard too. This dog food sounds like a great choice too.
What a beautiful pup! The bag of this food looks so beautiful as well lol I love that picture!
What a gorgeous dog! Max is lucky to be eating such high quality pet food.
Max is gorgeous! But UGH… you are just not understanding they game you are playing. It’s not fetch, it’s Chase and Tug! At least you feed him a great food to keep him healthy and happy. 🙂

Max is gorgeous. He definitely looks healthy and happy. Glad he’s getting great food and nourishment with Canidae.
Max is indeed adorable and he sounds just like my German Shepard Dudley was when he was a teen pup. I have never heard of Canidae dog food before but it sounds like something I would love to give to my furbaby. It is such much healer for them with no grains.
When we play fetch with Fenway, he brings the ball back, but stands there holding it in his mouth, chewing on it like it’s a piece of gum. It’s so weird!
Beautiful dog!! He looks very happy and seems to be enjoying his food.
