ADOPTED ON 02-07-15 – Please welcome Mr. Ernie to the ranks of the new graduates from our rehabilitation, socialization and training programs. Ernie is a coal black, male, German shepherd, about 18 months in age and that is now 64 pounds but will probably attain a weight of between 70 and 75 pounds. Our boy is very sweet, totally enamored with people of all ages but seems to excel with children. Ernie also does well with other dogs showing openness to approach, common respect and a confident presence. During our training sessions we found Ernie to be alert, focused, extremely intelligent and always willing to work. Probably one of the most endearing attributes of this boy is his open and warm heart, something that he chose to embrace because his past life would have broken a less determined shepherd.

Having a dog survive and thrive like Ernie has done is what keeps you going as a rescue participant, there is always a fighting chance. Of course Ernie possesses all of the normal wonderful characteristics of a German shepherd, loyalty, strength, character, gentleness, presence, loving soul and a strong but always in control protective instinct. As with all of our graduates, Ernie is good on the leash, house broken and knows his base commands.

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.
