Yes, as a matter of fact I just got one about 2 weeks ago. He is only 12 weeks old,,but he runs kinda goofy. I think it's his big feet..they are huge!!! Of course puppies are very clumsy anyway.
Is you puppy a lot older?
I love my guy,,he is a beautiful dog. I'm sure yours is also. They so white and cuddly.
I guess as your puppy gets older and you still think it runs funny,,ask a vet. You'll be visiting,,for shots and a thousand other things they do now. Used to be Distemper/Rabies shots,,,now there is a list of injections they get!!!
Good Luck with the puppy,,,,

My AKC white German Shepherd was like that as a puppy. She is now a year old and is not as clumsy. They are considered puppies until they are two. Just show your puppy a lot of love and get it into some kind of puppy training class. This is important while it is young and eager to learn. It is more difficult once it is fully grown as it weighs quite a bit and you don't have the control you have with a young dog. We found crate training to be very helpful too. When you can't be with the dog, the crate becomes its den of safety. While it is in the crate, you won't have it eating you shoes, slippers or anything else that might be important to you. Keep lots of chewy type bones available to help keep your pet busy. Mine carries stuffed animals around that sqeak when she bites them, but be careful your dog doesn't tear them up and choke on them. Training classes give you a lot of ideas in that area. Have great fun training your new best friend.

German shepherds are prone to hip problems. Check with your vet.

German shepherds are prone to hip problems (no matter what color) You should probably take it to the vet and have it checked.
good luck, hope it's nothing!
