ADOPTED 03-22-14 – Rocky is our most recent rescue to graduate our rescues socialization and training. This young (8 months) man is an absolutely gorgeous example of the long hair classic German shepherd. Rocky is a solid 55 pounds with all of his appendages developing perfectly, strong straight back and an exact German shepherd gait. During his time with us Rocky has reflected all of the wonderful German shepherd traits of intelligence, gentleness, strong character, approachability, loving demeanor, strong bond and solid protective instinct. Rocky is extremely people oriented but is also respectful and engaging to other dogs.

LONG HAIR CLASSIC COAT***NEUTERED
GREAT WITH PEOPLE AND OTHER DOGS
LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED

Make no mistake our boy is still a “puppy”, he will need plenty of exercise, play time, cuddle time and follow through training. This good point to state that as with all of our graduates Rocky is leash, house and basic command trained. We have also tested our boy with children and is totally enthralled with them but as with new dog the children should be heeled in respecting the dogs needs. We have found that Mr. Rocky is just as happy to sit at your feet (or in your lap) and be petted as he is to chase his ball, an extremely positive characteristic for a young German shepherd. Rocky is also a very lucky young boy in that we were able to rescue him very rapidly avoiding any lingering side effects of abuse.

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.
