Welcome to our German Shepherd Dog of the Month Contest! Thanks so much to everyone who submitted photos of their beautiful German Shepherd Dogs and puppies. Again, we had many more entries than in the previous months so judging again took a little longer than we expected but thanks for being patient.

There were a lot of really great entries of both German Shepherd dogs and puppies - I'm really glad the judging wasn't up to me again because I think they're all great shots. So, without further adieu ....

Here Are Our GSDs of the Month - January 2012!

Meet German Shepherds, Abigail and Cassandra. Congratulations on becoming our January 2012 German Shepherd Dog of the Month winners!

There were so many great entries submitted again this month that it was really tough for our Guest Judge, a German Shepherd owner herself of well over 23 years, to make a choice... but I locked her up until she made a decision anyway - and here are her other choices for this months contest winners :)

And here are this months runners up ...

Runners - up

Best German Shepherd Story - January 2012

Now, all you German Shepherd owners out there, people really seem to love this contest already and want to see even more German Shepherd pictures! So, how about sending in your best and favorite German Shepherd pics to me to enter into next months contest?

Here are the rules to enter. To enter your GSD, simply submit both information and pictures of your pooch to me here. Send me your favorite pictures of your German Shepherd and tell me a little about him or her...(or a whole lot if you'd like!)

Your GSD could be chosen as the latest and greatest German Shepherd of the Month to be featured on the home page as well on the GSD of the Month page. Not only do you win our GSD of the Month contest, but you get bragging rights too! What a deal!
