SQUEAL!! LOVE THE PICS!! TOOOOooo adorable, BOTH babies!! THANKS for posting, my brain just got a cuuute overload there!!
//"there is no such thing as a bad dog its a bad owner"//
I know this is what is said, by everyone,
but, i disagree. My dog is not "bad", but, he IS dog-aggressive,
and i would rate myself as a good dog owner. I know of several other dog-aggressive dogs, and some extremely shy dogs,
who are owned by members of DTA, who i can tell even by years of reading their postings, they are also good dog owners, doing allllllllllll they can to help reduce their dogs issue, and help their dog become his best possible self, and learning how to manage the dog's world well, and provide the best life possible for their dogs. Good dog owners, all.
Every dog-aggressive dog ever put into a MRI scanner,
and every shy, human-aggressive dog ever put into a MRI scanner,
both had visible anomalies on their brains, and abnormal neurochemistry in their blood.
but yeah, if a dog has a behavioral issue, for it's entire life,
it's the human's fault.
we are all told this so often, it becomes a meme, and it almost seems "true" doesn't it!!
but researchers, geneticists, and veterinary geneticists alllll over the globe, disagree.
Prior to scanning the brains of autistic or schizophrenic humans, their parents were also told, for centuries, the child was just "raised wrong". 
cuz, you can not tell at birth, if a human will grow up to manifest autism or schizophrenia,
so, since it shows up later---------> it MUST BE something to do with how the child is raised....
It was like this for dogs, too, til they were put in scanners.
Still,
even common sense should cause us to have
at least questioned the meme....
Tons of abused dogs, stand there, loving everyone and every dog.
Tons of dogs raised very well, even alongside other dogs who turned out "normal", yet, turned out to be exxxxtremely shy, or began to manifest dog-aggression at about age 9 months old..against all odds.
but yeah, these dogs "were just raised wrong......just a bad human"
...sure, suuuuure.
I completely believe we can make both the shy dogs,
and the d.a. dogs better 
or worse,
but, we humans can not 'create' one, nor can we 100% "cure" a neurobiological disorder, either.
sorry for derail, but, i am on mini-quest
to help educate ppl about dogs with issues, and to help support those humans who DO love either a dog-aggressive dog,
or an extremely shy dog. (it's two different disorders, btw). Sadly, many owners of such dogs also believe the meme
, "....if a dog has an issue, you are a bad human" thing, too,
and blame themselves....struggling to determine what egregious error they made, that for next 15 years their dog is "off" for life.....was it the time i yanked his leash?
was it the time i stepped on his foot? was it the time Uncle Fred bellowed too loud at that party i had? What WAS it i did so wrong, that all my other dogs grew up fine, but THIS dog is "off"???
and they all blame themselves.........
so i am one-human mouthpiece
trying to alleviate even 1% of them with mental anguish felt by these humans about their dogs with issues, in case any of them hit upon this here thread.
that said, congrats again on BOTH adorable, prescious babies!! Enjoy this time of your life, and take tons of photos!! And try to steal a nap whenever you can!!
and please do post tons of photos!! We can never have too many photos of this pair of cuties!!
xx
(Ok, this is a dog forum, so I guess it's ok if I act like GSDs puppies throw me over the moon, right?) 
cuz, i thought, one advantage YOU, Julie, will have,
