ADOPTED 12-03-12 – Heidi (2) is a playful and loving female German shepherd mix puppy of about 6 months that came to us in horrible shape. Our girl, though perfectly healthy now, suffered from malnutrition, severe skin infections from flea allergies, open sores and a lack of socialization due to isolation. As is quite common with these wonderful young dogs, Heidi (2) decided to focus on all things good and not dwell on the past and its darkness.

We have been quite impressed with Heidi (2)’s intellect and spunk, she has embraced her training with gusto, excelling in most aspects while maintaining her adorable puppy perspective. For the most part Heidi (2) is just a very happy character, a clown and a scholar locked in a most beautiful skin. This girl is great with other dogs, always open to approach, playful, considerate and welcoming. We have also found that our young girl has a very serious attraction to children; she absolutely glows in their presence, reflecting a sensitivity and gentleness. That is a true joy to behold.

Heidi (2) has successfully passed all aspects of our training and socialization program. At this point she is house trained, leash trained and she knows her basic commands. For a dog her age she is quite accomplished, for a dog that has experienced what she has, she is spectacular!

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.
