One of my DD's got a new GSD puppy last year. These photos are about a year apart. He's a very good dog.
He's been a little delight. I call him my chunky monkey vampire puppy right now.
Thank you for posting these photos - so it looks like little Rhyn is indeed half GSD and half Australian Shepherd! Wow wow wow wow! I know he's extremely smart and has astounded me with what he's learning at this young age.
The peppers we planted this year turned out to be pretty hot - you know how you can always tell, as soon as you start preparing them, it's hard to breathe? That's a big 'tell'. Shoot! Next year I'm sticking to bell peppers. At least our heirloom tomatoes are producing nicely. Rhyn found one a squirrel had tried to make off with and he was lugging it around like the best toy in the world. 
Good puppy.

Your picture makes me miss New Mexico. When we lived in northern New Mexico a few years ago, we would buy Hatch peppers by the box at the grocery store. (We only bought the peppers that were grown in New Mexico--it's a local pride thing.). I think that the boxes held about a bushel of peppers. The grocery store has a roaster in the parking lot where they roast a box at a time. You pay for your boxes of peppers and then get in line to have them roasted. (Don't stand down wind.) When done, they place them in a large plastic bag to steam the peeling off. At home, I would put on gloves and pull off the peel and freeze them. They freeze pretty well. They need a little more cooking in oil or fat, if you're going to put them on hamburgers or eat with eggs. They are so good and a real staple of New Mexico quisine but we don't often see them in Indiana.
There are up here, too! I also prefer to roast my own. I love to make stuffed chilis.
Back from Hawaii and it was a terrific trip. The highlight: swimming with a pod of about 100 spinner dolphins. On either side and below me. It was so magical!
And I'm feeling rested. Finally! It's a been a busy (first world) year and things feel much more settled.
Next trip is to Dallas for the USC V. Alabama game!

Welcome back home. Happy to hear you had a restful trip. Please let me know if you want some dining and shopping tips for the Big D. There is awesome BBQ there as well as two fantastic designer resale stores. Depending on the timing of your trip, you can catch some great exhibits at the Dallas Arboretum. It's a great place to get in a nice hike.
I grew up with two huge GSD
German Shepherd babies I should say
Your baby is beautiful
I am jealous of his pool [emoji3]

India Rhyn looks like he has a lot of German Shepard in him
Are you going to have his DNA tested like you did for Ziey
