Juntos

After the rain everything tastes better

Júpiter

This Christmas was different. The family grew — now we are Júpiter, Plutón and a baby.

Meet the family

Same breed, opposite personalities. This is what life really looks like with two German Shepherds at home.

Júpiter
Júpiter
The oldest · 5 years · Male

Five years of pure nobility. Júpiter arrived first and made it clear from the start that he had his own personality. He may seem like he's just watching from his favorite corner, but don't be fooled — he's always there, alert and ready for his family. When Plutón arrived, he adopted him as his own: cared for him, protected him, and today Plutón looks at him as if he were his dad. His perfect plan: a good run, then quietly observe the horizon like the king he is.

Strong-willed Protective Curious Restless Hunter spirit™
😈At the vet he is known as a "difficult dog". He prefers to call it having standards.
🦁Hunter spirit in a shepherd's body. Always alert, always in explorer mode.
❤️He taught me to love animals. All the love I feel for them has his name.
🔍Curious by nature. If there's something to investigate, Júpiter is already on his way.
VS
Plutón
Plutón
The youngest · 3 years · Male

Three years of fur, balls, and pure love. Plutón arrived when Júpiter was almost two years old and from day one found his hero in him. He's shy, beautiful, and inseparable from his big brother — if he doesn't see or hear him, the world ends. His greatest passion in life is a ball and a yard to run in. He can be fearful, but outside with his ball and next to Júpiter, he is the happiest dog in the world.

Shy Loving Noble Ball lover Beautiful™
🎾His love for balls has no limits. If there's a ball nearby, the world can wait.
🍖A food lover. He eats with the excitement of someone who hasn't seen a plate in weeks.
🤍He doesn't bother anyone. He is peace, nobility and love in dog form.
💛He taught me the nobility of animals. His heart is pure and asks for nothing in return.

Immortal moments
