Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Colonel â The Gentleman with the Tennis Ball Meet Colonel, a 7â8-year-old German Shepherd with a wise soul, a calm heart, and one undeniable passion â his tennis ball. He doesnât chase it so much as cherish it. Whether heâs lounging on the couch, going for a short hike, or greeting new friends, youâll usually find a tennis ball tucked proudly in his mouth. Colonel is house-trained, gentle with kids, and comfortable in just about any environment. Heâs social but laid back â the perfect mix of friendly and composed. He knows his basic commands, loves being brushed, and carries himself with the quiet confidence of a true elder statesman. Colonel may have traded marathon fetch sessions for leisurely walks and long naps, but he still lives for lifeâs simple joys â a sunny day, a kind hand, and that ever-present tennis ball by his side. If youâre looking for a loyal companion who proves that love (and a good chew toy) never gets old, Colonel is your guy.

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
