ADOPTED 08-06-11 – Every once in a while a rescue is blessed with a chance to obtain a truly superior and unique dog, in our case it is a male, Dutch shepherd, appropriately named deacon. This guy came to us as a frightened, emaciated, dirt ball with eyes that screamed “do not give up on me I will make it “. After working with deacon for some time it became obvious that he was a cut above the usual dog, extremely intelligent, always alert, and self confident and a true love sponge. Deacon is a definition of the breed, beautiful coat, graceful stride, confident, deep chest, long legs, erect ears, deeply loyal, piercing eyes and is most comfortable trying to sit your lap. This guy is playful and moderately active, choosing to make his job your well being, embracing the task of playmate, bunk mate or guardian.

BRINDLE – YELLOW/BROWN/BLACK, NEUTURED, FULLY VETTED, GREAT WITH KIDS OF ALL AGES, GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS, WILL TOLERATE CATS/NO LOVE LOST, LEASH TRAINED, HOUSE TRAINED, ALL DOGS ARE MICROCHIPED

The best way I can think of to portray a mental picture of deacon is to think of him as a cross between Albert Einstein and Grocho Marx. This young man of 18 months is everything that you want as a family member, courteous, gentle, loving, open and best friend. In my years (40) working with dogs I have had the pleasure of experiencing many great dogs but I can truthfully say that none can surpass this dog. My time with deacon has been very special to me; he has taught me much more about character than any human ever could.

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.
