ADOPTION DATE 04-12-14 – Our new graduate Sonny is a magnificent male German shepherd with a black and red slick coat that will top the scales at about 80 pounds and is 4 and 5 years of age. Sonny was an owner turn in that was not physically abused but was emotionally devastated since he had been with this family his entire life. The reason given for the turn in was that a newborn child was allergic to dogs. What ever the case Mr. Sonny is an absolute dream, loving, playful, happy, gentle, great with people of all sizes, great with other dogs and possesses a strong but in control protective instinct. Obviously our boy is quite family oriented and will probably do best in a family environment but above all else he wants his people to dote on. Sonny is a riot a play, he chases toys, loves tug of war, slides in to get belly rubs and in general is just a big clown.

One of our volunteers has a six-year-old little girl and when she comes into the kennel Mr. Sonny is absolutely mesmerized, she becomes the focus of all of his attention and love. This young man is a classic German shepherd complete with all the positive characteristics of the breed including a hard wired needs to take care of his family and their property. Sonny has a presence about him that will put you totally at ease, it is as though you realize immediately that he reads all situations correctly and is fully in tune with you at all times. Of course our boy has accomplished all of his socialization and training programs and in addition he is leash, house and basic command trained.

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.
