ADOPT ME!

07-14-14 Gone to the Bridge – Gretta developed Gout went to the bridge but was loved by her rescuer’s. Canine Gout can appear as lesions and ulcerations and can also be related to diabetes and kidney disease in animals. Canine gout appears in mainly large breeds of dogs, in German Shepherds, there appears to be a link between gout and hip dysplasia.

Our new graduate, Ms. Gretta (German shepherd), is an absolute doll – a petite, registered, classic black and tan, fabulous personality and 100% diva. Gretta walks the walk and talks the talk, she is certain that she defined the breed and all the rest are just wannabes. Our girl is all that a GSD should be, loyal, bonding, confident, intelligent, loving, strong character and a strong but in control protective instinct. Ms. Gretta is absolutely great with people, children and other dogs; of course the other dogs must understand that she is quite special. Working with the training and socialization of Gretta was a wonderful journey that allowed us all to witness her transformation into the very special creature that she has become.

BLACK AND TAN** SPAYED**FULLY VETTED**GREAT WITH PEOPLE ESPECIALLY CHILDREN**GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS** LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

One of Greta’s most endearing traits is her fascination with butter flies and grass hoppers, she very stealthily stalks them, moves into position, strikes and to my knowledge has never caught one, I think she just likes to scare the heck out of them. This young lady of 3 years has the ability to fit into almost any family environment, I have been unable to uncover any behavior that I would think to be restrictive – again she is a doll!

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.

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

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.
