Child Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
Bruno has only been with us a short time. During that time we have learned he is a very loving and playful boy. He still has a lot of growing to do, has been neutered, is heartworm negative, great with all humans and other dogs. He has a lot of energy as he enjoys his current puppy years. He is happy playing with anything that squeaks, rolls, or that he can carry. How can you not love such a sweet face?
Bruno is a loveable goofball who, despite being more than a year old, is still a big ol' puppy. He loves people and wants to please sooo much, but sometimes the puppy gets the better of him and he jumps to lick your face. He is a fast learner and has nearly mastered housetraining despite spending a good portion of his rather short life chained to a tree. He takes any sharp words immediately to heart and crouches and looks terrified and remorseful, so training will have to be with a light and loving hand. He is catching on to sit when his puppy excitement isn't too much for him and we never sensed a mean bone in this big boy’s body. He likes to run but his recall is good and he comes when called by Bruno (or any other name - he doesn't seem to be too picky). If you want a young dog who loves people and wants to be your best friend, but looks formidable if that's what you need, with a little work, Bruno is the dog for you.
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
