ADOPTED ON 01-20-23 Our new ward, Athena, is a 10-month-old, sable coat, female German shepherd that is now ready for adoption. This girl is a wide open, physically perfect, fearless, loving, extremely intelligent and happy definition of the breed. I did mention that MS Athena is a puppy didn’t I? If you are looking for a laid back, couch potato this girl is not for you but if you are looking for a hike loving, play loving, training loving, jogging loving sidekick she is perfection. Do not get me wrong, Athena is a loving, happy, cuddle bunny that really only wants time with her person. As with most shepherds, this girl is loyal, super smart, observant, dedicated, curious and processes an in control protective instinct.

Athena has all of the tools and could have been trained to be a working dog, for that manner, still could be. Our girl thrives on training and has very few limits. As you would expect, Athena, has great symmetry, perfect gait and glides like the wind when she runs. We have this girl to be people, child and other dog friendly but as you would expect she is not going to be pushed around. Athena handled our socialization and training programs with ease showing a high desire to train, a strong people drive, high curiosity and an extremely high intelligence. As her trainer, I can tell you from experience, that any limits this dog has will strictly associated the limitations of her future training environment. The adopter of this girl will have the expertise, time, commitment, love and patience to bring her to the levels that she can achieve.

 

 

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.
