AJ
Animal Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals should be supervised at all times.
Child Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
AJ’s personality is blossoming in his foster home. His foster parents have brought out the best in this boy. He loves smaller dogs and kids. AJ tends to bark at dogs he doesn't know, especially if he is in “his” truck. But he hushes when told to. We are doing a refresher course on his basic commands - sit, down, stay, come. Sit and down are wonderful - quick response. Stay and come still need some work - the boy is a bit stubborn and sometimes focused on other things as any young shepherd is. Overall, AJ is a dream dog. He is not fond of being in a crate so if you are going to crate a dog for an extended time… please do not look at AJ. He loves car rides and will do almost anything for a treat.
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.
