Meet Nelson, a big, sweet love bug. You might call him a gentle giant. He has a very calm, good temperment, but does like to be the boss with other dogs. There is no aggression in this sweet boy, but he does like to be in charge. He is very good with young, active and unmannerly males (did I say Colton?) and is really teaching him some proper dog to dog etiquite and behavior. They play like two pups, but Nelson keeps him in line and corrects him when needed. Colton has greatly improved his dog skills because of him. Nelson is very strong, but once you gain his respect, is a great dog. Without a strong leader, he will take charge. He loves to go on walks, and is respectful and stays by your side. He is housebroken, can use a pet door, loves chewing on his bones and sitting for treats, and knows basic commands. Won't you give this big sweet guy a chance to steal your heart, because he will!
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.
