ADOPTED ON 01-27-18 – We at “Randy’s German Shepherd” are pleased to announce the availability for adoption a wonderful German shepherd mix named Matti. This classy young lady is a very special case for us, you see, Matti is a highly trained service dog. This young lady was returned us by her owner after Matti refused to accept another dog that this owner had obtained. We but Matti through an extensive socialization and training program to see if there were any issues that we could isolate. Our girl performed in a superior fashion reflecting great social and training skills, basically Matti was rebelling because she could not do her job with the other dog present.

During open kennel training time our girl is in the yard with 7-10 German shepherds, she is confident, open and social with all of the other dogs. Matti is an 80 pound, 3 year old, medium coat German shepherd-border collie mix. Although Matti is perfection personified when it comes to commands, eye contact, commitment and decision making, she is still a special needs dog. When Matti was returned we found a lump on her neck, it was biopsied and found to be non-cancerous but it could not be removed because of its location and being attached to the bone. According to Auburn University (our vet school), there is no way of knowing if the growth will stay the same size or enlarge in the future. What I can tell you (as a trainer) is that Matti is worth the risk, her skills, her demeanor, her pure dedication, her absolute love and her awesome intellect are beyond any reservation!
