What is a GSD-- forgiveme I am a newcomer
I am a new pet owner and love this website. So I am always perusing the posts. I have read a few hoping to figure out what a GSD is but have had no success.

BC is Border Collie So I have a BC/GSD who was probably the product of a BYB and we just might be facing BLS some day.
