ADOPTED ON 01-24-15 POLICE TRAINING DOG – Dear Miss Coco is a diminutive 15-month-old German shepherd with a classic black, tan and red coat, beautiful lines and the very definition of “living doll”. Our girl was rescued from a back yard breeder that intentionally stunted her growth by breeding her too early and with holding food. This is a practice used by unethical breeders so they can get more dogs into less space. Though miss coco will be limited in size (55 to65 pounds) she has decided that that is her only limitation showing great intellect, strong presence, wonderful openness, love of life and tremendous strength to overcome her past. Anyone who spends any time at all with this young lady falls immediately in love.

 CLASSIC BLACK/RED/TAN COAT***SPAYED***FULLY VETTED
WONDERFUL PERSONALITY***GREAT WITH PEOPLE AND OTHER DOGS
LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

 Coco is without a doubt a very special girl, always open and respectful to others be they human or canine, gentle to all around her and loving without bounds. Those in our rescue that have worked extensively with this girl have found the experience to quite unique in that we all believe she has taught us far more than we will ever be able to teach her. Coco has all of the classic German shepherd traits of intelligence, loyalty, gentleness, loving and strong protective instinct but she carries all of this a step farther by wrapping everything in the warmth of the maternal drive. This wonderful creature has performed very well in all of her training and socialization programs reflecting the ability to fit into almost any family situation.  As is the case with our entire wards coco will be capable on the leash, know her basic commands and process great house manners.

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.
