Child Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
He is doing well with foster family's kids. He loves to play with toys, retrieve tennis ball. If you act as if you are busy, he will entice you into playing with him by dropping the toy next to you :-). He is very content and does not gobble food. Given his large frame, he does not steal from table either. We left him outside the crate yesterday night and he did fine . Though last night was the first time ( out of the two nights he has been with us thus far) that he was outside the crate, I have a feeling that he will do fine on the nights to come.
He is confident and a very people person errr... dog :-) He does pay attention to little dogs and their bark.
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.
