ADOPTED 07-28-12 – Size, shape, personality, color  are all factors in assessing the beauty of a German shepherd dog, most score well but few are perfect. Our new rescue Riggs is one of the latter, dark red and black in color, long flowing coat, crystal clear eyes, perfect head, nose and body, will top out at about 90 pounds and has a perfect gait. This young man (1-2 years) came to us after being abandoned due to a divorce (sic), he is from a very reputable kennel, has had his hips x-rayed and certified and is of course registered. Riggs has all of the positive characteristics of the breed, loyalty, intelligence, great personality, playful, loving, gentle and strong protective instinct. Like all German shepherds this guy loves his exercise, walking, running, playing ball and swimming (he thinks he is half fish), bottom line if it is fun and you are there he is happy.

DARK RED AND BLACK IN COLOR, LONG COAT***NEUTERED***FULLY VETTED***GREAT WITH PEOPLE***GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS***LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

We took Riggs through our socialization and training program and he of course excelled, he is great with other dogs (single and in groups), loves everything human but is especially good with children. Riggs has successfully completed our training courses for leash, house and basic commands.

Riggs came to us with a female German shepherd to which he appears bonded, we will make all efforts to have these two adopted together.

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.
