How many of the 4 dogs are not neutered/spayed? (1 adult GSD, 2 puppy GSD, and 1 Yorkie) Were these GSDs bred by the OP's family?

I'll try to answer some of these questions, I don't mind at all. I will summerize some to make a long story short. The mother shepherd hubby took in from a friend a year ago, she is not spayed and hubby and a buddy bred her without my knowledge, (I was furious) needless to say that is another story, anyhow she had her litter and after a very long talk with hubby we agreed to have her spayed once she was done with her care of the pups. She had a litter of 8 which again, hubby did not step up so I took care of them all and found all but one a good home. Shortly after one of the pups was returned hence the reason I have 2 pups and the mom. The plan as I have told hubby this is just to many dogs and you are not pulling your weight so I would rather find a good home for the mom and one of the shepherd pups. We are still going back and fourth about this but in the mean time, they still have to be fed and cared for. I have crate trained them myself and taught them several commands and they even sit very still at feeding time until I have placed the food dish down. They are also all 3 due to be spayed and neutered.

As for my Gizmo, he will be 5 yrs old in november and was neautered at 6 months, I am going to follow some of the advice I have gotten here to get my baby trained, I know he trys to protect me, I just love him so much and should have worked on obdience and socialization a long time ago. Its not to late for me to get a handle on all of this, and you know there is always some good in a lesson learned.

Hope I answered some of the questions here.

Thanks
