ADOPTED ON 06-20-14 – Our new ward, John Henry, is the very definition of the finer qualities of the German shepherd breed. He is survivor tough, survivor smart, survivor committed, his will to live has allowed him to overcome a horrendous past that he refuses to let define his life. John Henry totally enjoys life, loving people, loving other dogs, loving his play time; this guy has been an inspiration to all in our rescue – call us smitten. Big John is a classic black and tan GSD, 3-4 years in age, will top out at around 100 pounds though presently he is only 75 pounds, and has a wonderfully open personality and a classic German shepherd protective instinct.

NEUTERED*** BLACK AND TAN MEDIUM COAT ***FULLY VETTED***GREAT WITH PEOPLE
GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS***LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

John Henry has gone through the better part of our rehabilitation program to reach a very healthy state, he has also passed all of our socialization and training programs. At this time our John Henry is at the point that he never meets a stranger and is enamored by all things human, especially children. Of course J.H. is totally at ease on the leash, is very comfortable in the home and is far too smart for just basic commands.

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.
