ADOPTED ON 04-16-16 – One of the most interesting features of performing rescue work with German shepherds is understanding that each of these dogs have a full, broad and totally unique personality. Trust me, Mr. Iggy is no different, a long haired, red and black, 90 pound, 3 year old, German shepherd that we lovingly refer to as “the boss”. Iggy has this air of authority about him that just says “my pack, my house, my rules” but he does it such a way that does not use intimidation, rather he wins the other dogs over with calm, respect, capability and the promise of “don’t push it”.

In my world this young man would have been a chief master Sargent tending his wards, graveled and tough but totally respected by all due to his character. Make no mistake Mr. Iggy is great with people (especially children) and other dogs but if the rough housing gets too rough he will move in and settle everybody back down, usually with nothing more than a firm chest bump. I have totally enjoyed my training journey with this guy, I am 100% sure that I gained more about training from him than he did from me. There is no other way to say it, Mr. Iggy set the new standards for our training and socialization programs. I hear they are looking for a new Supreme Court justice, I think I will nominate Iggy, do I hear a second!

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.
