I've got 3 shepherds, one of them likes Guiness and one of them likes the occasional drop of Stella (he helps himself when I've nipped out of the room).

All 3 are black & gold. 1 x long hair, the other 2 are shorts.
My big one is a working dog, the other 2 just laze about all day. Wouldn't be without them!

Good looking dog!
Pups are always fun, his barking is probably telling you he wants to play. They have loads of energy at that age, and will be in to everything. Noises are always interesting and will normally provoke an investigation and/or barking session. I still remember when one of mine encountered a hedgehog....he sniffed it so the thing rolled up. The boy spent a good 10 minutes walking round it trying to find where the head end had gone. Gave up and resorted to barking at it. Frogs are a bit of a mystery as well.
Enjoy the inevitable snail eating phrase........

Our dog used to raid the cupboard and nick my beer.
I caught him with a can of Guinness the once and seeing he already pierced it I thought, if you want beer you shalt have beer, so poured it in the bowl.
He was out like a light
Lightweight 
He also loved tea, milk with 2 sugars.

My old lab collie cross used to nick anything alcoholic she could get her paws on, beer, wine, whiskey, brandy, the lot, and as a thief she was world class.
Seeing as she lived to 14 years old, I don't reckon it did her any harm
