Meet new boy, Colton. What a sweetheart he is! He loves to play with his new buddy Parker, chase the ball, and chew on his bones and toys. He was quite the Houdini for a while, escaping from his crate, but we figured out what he was doing and fixed that. Colton would much rather be out with his human or other dog buddies, but is adapting to crating and now does fine as long as he knows he will soon be out for play time. He loves walks, too and is coming along nicely. While at the vet, he barked at a small dog, so we are not sure if he is ok with smaller dogs or was just greeting him. Further testing would be needed to be sure. Colton loves big dogs, and is very playful. We will update as we learn more about this sweet young guy.
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.
