ADOPTED ON 03-04-17 –  Some times in the dog rescue arena we bump into “unique” breeds, one’s that defy logic and definition, we therefore become creative. It is with this narrative in mind that I proudly wish to introduce “Sir Ben” of the well-known “tea-cup” German shepherd breed, known commonly as just “cute”. You see our boy is a full grown 25 pounds of 2 year old, German shepherd look-a-like, wide open, enormously happy, thinks he is 500 pounds, cuddly, mischievous, comedian! Ben came to our attention through a less than ethical “owner” who had him posted as a 5 month old German shepherd puppy, though we knew he was not a true shepherd we were not going let him stay in that environment, he is just too cute!

BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC COAT

GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS

GREAT WITH PEOPLE

NEUTERED, FULLY VETTED

LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

Our socialization and training programs had to be modified somewhat since Ben was making four steps to every one of the other Shepard’s but in the end he made us look stupid because he handled everything quite well. This little boy not only was able to keep up, he excelled, showing great dog interaction skills, great aptitude for training, wonderful people drive, great personality and did I mention that he is cute. Though we cannot claim shepherd with Ben, we can state that he has the traits of a German shepherd with gentleness, toughness, intelligence, superior bond and a pretty strong protective instinct.

DISCLAIMER: THE BREED POSTED ON OUR DOGS’ BIOGRAPHIES ARE OUR BEST GUESS BASED ON SEVERAL YEARS OF DOG RESCUE. ADOPTERS WHO NEED TO KNOW THE EXACT BREED OF A PARTICULAR DOG MUST HAVE THE DOG TESTED AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO CHECK OUT THE SECTION BELOW

RDVG wants to provide you with as much information as we can because some of our mix breeds you might not be familiar with. The below section on “About the Breed” offers information on some of the Breed Characteristics, Children & Pets, Behavior and Personality, Temperament and more.

It is important to point out that in addition to the breed, there is an enormous variety in the way a dog acts and reacts to the world around him. In the end, your dog’s preferences and personality are as individual as you are–and if you can accept that– then you’re bound to enjoy each other.

Children & Pets

Animal Behavior Guidelines

Many children, especially very young ones, do not realize that pets are living animals and not toys. Failing to teach a child how to handle pets properly can result in suffering on the part of the pet and, in some cases, injury to the child. Taking introductions slowly will allow you to introduce family dogs and your children safely

Puppy Behavior, Growth & Development

Each stage of Puppy Growth and development is fascinating; by the time it reaches its first birthday a puppy is considered a mature, adult dog. Puppy Growth rate is fast compared to humans, just compare a puppy of 8 weeks to a baby of the same age.

One of the most common questions asked about a puppy’s growth and development rate refers to the eventual size of the puppy. How big will the puppy grow? How can you determine the adult size of a puppy? A young puppy is tiny and cute – everyone loves puppies! But will the puppy be suited to your environment? How much exercise will be required for a full grown dog? Will the puppy be a suitable pet for children? The breed of the puppy will determine the answers to these questions. A general response to the size and growth rate of a puppy and the adult size of a puppy is therefore not possible – it needs to be specific to the puppy’s breed.
