ADOPTED ON 10-08-17 – Is it possible for a dog to be “too” cute, if so our most recent German shepherd graduate probably fits that bill? Little Miss Gidget is a 60 pound, German shepherd dog, classic black and tan, 20 -24 month old rescue from a back yard breeder, her diminutive size comes from being intentionally stunted so that these unethical breeders can put more dogs per pen. As always though these dogs humble us with their ability to forgive, move on and embrace life, Miss Gidget is no exception.

Our girl kicked her past in the behind and never looked back. Today this young lady is the epitome of health, the definition of the breed, absolutely happy, funny to a fault and just the right amount of mischievousness. This young lady knocked our socialization and training programs right out of the park, we are pretty sure she manipulated the system but she is not talking. To say that Miss Gidget is smart, trainable, social and fun would be gross understatements to say the least. This girl is something very, very special!

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.
