ADOPT ME!

ADOPTED ON 05-07-16 – Benjamin, from here on out referred to as “Ben, is a big 18 month old German shepherd male that is without a doubt one of the funniest and most endearing dogs that I have ever encountered. This boy is very intelligent but his goofiness hides it very well, a hugely hilarious walking contradiction in terms. Ben can pick up a new command in one try, lay that big old’ head in your lap for approval and then fall over backwards while watching a butter fly flutter past. If this guy cannot make you laugh you had best go see a doctor because I believe you are dead.

Watching Ben play with the other dogs is like watching a comedy unfold, that great big body, those long legs and his slew front feet peeling out in chase only to realize with complete amazement that somehow they are now chasing him. I do not believe this guy has ever met a stranger, be they human of canine, I do not believe he ever will. Make no mistake, under all of Ben’s foolishness is a true German shepherd complete with all of the normal great characteristics of strength, desire, intelligence, bonding, gentleness, loving and as always that strong but always in control protective instinct. This young man performed very well in all of socialization and training programs revealing a very smart character with a penchant for comedy. Ben definitely dances to a unique tune but I assure you it is a full blown musical. I love this character!

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.
