I'm a German Shepherd Dog Owner

I'm currently a German Shepherd Dog owner (with a cat that she thinks is a squeak toy). Sheba is my German Shepherd and she's about five or six years old. She's a rescue dog that doesn't really have a birthday. Sheba, like most GSDs, is very smart. She can find any treat hidden anywhere and even swiftly remove a cookie from a toddler's tender fingers before he knows what happened! Even at six years old Sheba is active every day.

Any German Shepherd Dog owner will tell you they have the smartest dog in the world. These dogs love to learn tricks and play games as much as possible. They also have a nomadic instinct that needs to be satisfied with daily walks. The German Shepherd is a working dog that loves to do just that. Walk. And walk. If you ask them to they will even walk some more.

Welcome to Dogs Rule Iowa

So here we are at Dogs Rule Iowa! It's a fun little blog about dogs and dogs' lives here in Iowa. I'll review kennels in central Iowa as well as general dog items like toys. I'm a retired dog groomer and kennel manager in Des Moines, Iowa and I've been around dogs most of my life. 


For those dog owners out there thinking of moving to Iowa let me tell you it's a great place to raise a dog. Lots of large lawns and rolling hills and hunting ground. Whether you have a pampered Yorkie or a diligent bird dog both will love it in Iowa.
