Video: Jon and Kate Plus Eight Get Two German Shepherd Dogs

New Puppy Alert! Jon and Kate Plus 8 . . . and Puppies Make 12

February 24, 2009

I can barely imagine having two dogs, never mind two dogs and eight kids! But, on this week's episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8, the Gosselins add two German Shepherd puppies to their family.

Making their small-screen debut are Shooka and Nala – I know I'll definitely start tuning in to watch the puppies grow, witness how the children adjust, and, hopefully, pick up a few tidbits to share from this show. What do you think of the furry additions?

I think every family like the puppies recently i take home two beautiful puppies of the alaskan husky for my kids i think they make the environment of the home very friendly and lovely my kids and i really spent much time in playing with them.

Discovery.Com needs to be held accountable for the actions of this family. They just displayed the callous behavior as to why there are so many shelters in the United States, filled with unwanted animals. Any advertiser on TLC should cringe if they are affiliated with this program, that advocates disposal of dogs.

How come in the beginning the post says "I can barely imagine having two dogs..." Two dogs is not that many. I have 6 rescues and they are wonderful!

Why add 2 puppies to a chaotic life style like that? GSD'd require training, they may be cute pups but they do grow up to be big dogs that are powerful. I don't think the family is equipped to handle the dogs physically or mentally. I didn't like the fact they did not keep Nala confined when she ate the stuffed horse. It is common sense to do this because of stitches and internal injuries. Shew god bless them pups, cause they need better homes with people that can actually handle them when they grow up. I see a lot of things they are doing wrong right from the start with the kids and pups. They allow the pups to pup on the kids for one, that is a huge no no for obvious reasons!

For someone as organized as Kate I would have thought she'd research the breed and even read up on puppy care and training. When one of the puppies tried to lick her she was having none of it;isn't that how puppies show affection?!! I agree it's one more thing for her to complain about. I bet those puppies are outside in a pen within a week. Hopefully one of the puppies will love Maddie alot. After Maddie's 2nd tantrum I turned the station. I remember when Kate was a sweetheart,what happened;fame perhaps?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumor on the internet has it that the pups are already gone, due to an "allergy". For the pup's sakes, I hope so.

Yeah, she complains.. but so what.. she's honest. And she is really organized (which some people think is too stringent, but I'd like to see a household with 8 kids under 7 without organization.. that would be a mess) She always seems to make time for her kids and they all know what is expected of them... (Which i don't think will be true for that bat$^!t crazy chick in CA with her clown car uterus) YAAAAAAAAAAY PUPPIES!!!

I always say if you have the room and you're already taking care of one (feeding, taking them out, cleaning up after them) then what's one more! When I actually have the room someday I hope to always have 2 or 3 puppies at the same time, esp. so they can play with one another--I think its great for dogs to have friends! I can't wait to watch these little guys grow!

I have 1 puppy and I'm exhausted! I couldn't imagine 2 puppies and 8 young kids! Good for them but I'd die, lol.

Why get dogs as a gift for your kids if all you're going to do is b!tch and moan about them? Kate is unbelievable, but I guess that's why I like the show.
