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.
Meet Brodie. He is a 1 year old, very energetic, curious, lovable, and sometimes goofy boy. He enjoys car rides, and walks, or jogs at the park. He loves to play hide and seek with his humans, inside or outside, especially around trees. Loves all toys squeaky, especially balls! Brodie has had obedience, basic commands, and leash training from a reputable trainer. He walks and heels very well.
He is not crate trained, however, he does sleep through the night on his bed in the living room or outside guarding the front door. He is housebroken and goes to the door if he needs or wants out. He does well when left alone, we make sure to have plenty of toys or puzzles to keep him occupied.
Brodie has a habit of chasing deer. He would probably do better with a family that has a fenced yard. He has been around a four year old with no problems. Older children might be better suited to keep up with his high energy. He is not cat friendly.
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.
