ADOPTED ON 01-23-16 – Not long ago a very thin young female German shepherd entered our rescue, we were all ready to start re-nabbing away when we realized that this girl had a very special glow all her own. As we worked with Duchess (her name) we came to understand that she felt she was rescuing us and not the other way around, she can instantly read you, understand your spirit and find a way to help you feel better. I have worked with many dogs over the years, some of which became superior therapy and working dogs, but I can say without a doubt that this girl is in a league by herself. To say she is smart is a gross understatement, she is fundamentally a canine genius.

GREAT WITH PEOPLE****GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS****LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

With all of this innate capability Duchess is still a very soft, gentle, loving, “old soul”, that also has a very solid but in control protective instinct. Duchess literally blew our socialization and training programs right out of the water, she was just above it all. Obviously this girl is fantastic with all things human and just as adept at all things canine. Duchess is a beautiful black and red long coat that is presently 60 pounds and 3 years old. We are working extremely hard to try to put some weight on this very large frame, all blood work has been run and she tested well. Ms. Duchess will be a blessing to any household that allows her to love them and they in turn love her.

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.
