Molly is a loving sweetheart. She’s housebroken and even loves her crate. She tends to be more attached to playing with humans than our other dogs as she tends to wrestle, or more accurately, break up the other dogs’ wrestling. She’s a bit of a “mother hen” that way. So far, she has absolutely no interest in our two cats (almost completely aloof to their presence). Because of Molly’s protectiveness, she needs to know that she’s not the alpha in the house. She will certainly test that boundary. She is, however, very obedient and quick to roll onto her belly for some petting. She’s being trained to walk on a leash right now but she’s VERY strong and will need someone capable of managing an 80-lb dog that really wants to go after a squirrel.
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.
