ADOPTED 05-05-12 – Sophie comes to our rescue from a horrendous environment in which she was intentionally stunted in growth to allow the “breeders “to house two females in one kennel. Though stunted in size we were able to get her in time to prevent her from being literally bred to death. Sophie is a 2-3 year old German shepherd dog, black/red/tan in color, obviously female, will probably never exceed 50 pounds and above all else an immensely sweet and loving personality. As a trainer it never fails to amaze me that these abused animals can be so resilient, Sophie has the right to refuse contact with all humans but she has instead decided to move forward and not look back. The very fact that this girl survived is testament to her constitution and shear will power. Sophie defines character in all its forms, a dog that I truly admire and respect. As an old soldier I can truthfully say that this dog possesses the qualities that I would want in the guy in the fox hole beside me. Nuff said!

BLACK/TAN/RED***SPAYED***FULLY VETTED***HOUSE, LEASH AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED***GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS***GREAT WITH PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN

Sophie is leash, house and basic command trained tasks that were little problem for her. She integrates with all dogs, big and small, very well and truly loves all aspects of being around people, especially children. If you are looking for a new family member that fits well in any social environment, thoroughly appreciates your presence and carries the wisdom of the ages this is the girl, my very,very special Sophie.

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.
