Hi Kelsey, I wouldn’t get rid of her just yet, a growl is just a warning to say, leave me alone, go away, or I’m sore, if she wanted to bite, she would of bitten your boyfriend without any warning but she didn’t….
When I first rescued my boy, I couldn’t touch his front paw, he’d growl at me, it kind of scared me cause I’ve never had a dog growl at me, after I gained his trust & I was real gentle around his paws, I turned his paw around to have a proper look real slowly & inbetween his toes he had red ulcers sores, poor thing he was just telling me in dog language, to leave his paw alone, it’s sore. I got cream & the paw healed, then when he was sick he also growled at me when I tried to move him into my room one night, he wanted to be left alone in another room, so I left him, he hasn’t growled anymore…
I’d say its cause she is pregnant, I just googled how many pups can a GSD have, it said anything from 5 to 16 pups, that’s alot of kicks, we just have 2 legs kicking us…
