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!

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.
