My name is Michel from France. I don't have a pet but I would like to have a black German Shepherd. I want to have a black German Shepherd because my whole family has a German Shepard (my dad, my grandma, my mom, my aunt). German Sheperds are sporty, intelligent, big and protective. I find them so pretty and because I like the black colour. They can also be a little bit grey, brown and cinnamon. When I go to high school, my mom will buy to me a black German Shepherd. His name will be Ars the third because the name of my grandma's dog was Ars and after, the name of my mom's dog was Ars.
