ADOPTED 11-17-12 – Our boy Tugg came into our rescue via the animal shelter route, as is typical he was skin and bone, frightened, full of parasites and wanting some major help. Tugg is a male German shepherd, 2 years old, black with tan/red stockings, 62 pounds now but will probably top out at about 75 pounds. This young man is a great representative of the breed, smart, loyal, friendly, strong bond and a nice strong but under control, protective instinct. What will set Tugg apart from the average dog is his extremely capable and swift read of people and their intent, if he says that the approaching people bear watching – trust his assessment, he does not miss. Having said that, Tugg is as loving and gentle as they come, great with people of all sizes, other dogs but he excels in his interaction with children. What I have observed in my training sessions with Tugg is above all else a very happy dog that has a very strong desire to please “his” person.

Tugg has accomplished all of his socialization and training sessions, excelling in every instance. Our boy is leash, house and basic command trained, constantly driving our staff to show him more ways to please. During his socialization sessions Tugg was exposed to working environments that encompassed single, small group and large group scenarios with both people and other dogs. As his primary trainer I have seen no indication of any behavior that I would deem unacceptable.

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.
