ADOPTED ON 03-18-17 – What more does one really have say other than “it’s a puppy” and a gorgeous German shepherd at that! Our new graduate is 45 pounds of full battle rattle, 4 month old, can’t figure out why its ears are funny, no off switch, GSD named Gator! At this point our guy has decided that he will concentrate on the future and let his past go, another of god’s miracles. To say that Gator has a great personality is simply a grave understatement, he loves everybody and everything that will play with him and trust me his definition of play is something to behold. We have found Gator to be about as gentle as a puppy can get, great with kids and other dogs.

The way that Gator moves tells me that he has great breeding, the pure German shepherd gait, the grace of his stance and the solid frame speaks volumes. Obviously our boy performed quite well during his training and socialization programs, revealing strong human drive, above average training capability and a very strong desire to bond. There is no way to know if Gator’s ears will eventually stand up but historically most of our dogs have ended up with pointed ears. From my perspective as a trainer I can tell you that this guy is great pick as a family dog but the household must have the time and patience to effectively develop the puppy’s strengths.

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.
