ADOPTEDĀ 11-16-13 –GunnarĀ is a stunning example of the German shepherd breed, large, athletic, gentle, intelligent, strong character and aĀ great protective instinct that is always in control. Our boy is a gorgeous sable of exactly one year of age sporting a wonderfully developed frame and a body weight of about 80 pounds, heaven help you if he ever grows into those feet! To dateĀ GunnarĀ has shown a deep understanding of the other dogs around him, he plays well with all but helps the shy or timid dogs to come out of their shells.

SABLE MEDIUM COAT***NEUTERED*** FULLY VETTED***GREAT WITH PEOPLE*** GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS***LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

To say that this dog is intelligent is a major understatement, show him one time and he has the program.Ā GunnarĀ (who is registered) could be trained to do most anything especially if it involves helping people and or dogs.Ā  ThoughĀ GunnarĀ has tremendous capability he is still a puppy and will require adequate exercise and follow up training for him to be his best. Our boy is a happy dog and loves to play, just make sure you are ready to play,Ā GunnarĀ takes his play time seriously. This guy has never shown anything but affection for anything human but with his size it is always positive to show an abundance of caution when introducing children.

GunnarĀ passed all of our socialization and training programs with the typical ease of a German shepherd, he seemed almost bored! Leash, house and basic command training again was extremely easy for our boy. The only limitations thatĀ GunnarĀ will ever have will be those imposed on him, he really is this good!

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 ā€œAbout the Breedā€ 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.
