Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). ***Young at Heart*** After what appears to be quite awhile on his own in the streets, this senior German Shepherd is ready for a fresh start. Heâs currently working on gaining weight and growing his beautiful coat back. If his head is any indication, it will be a luxurious one with stunning markings. Despite what heâs been through, Julian has a soft, tender spirit. He takes treats with the gentlest mouth, and is always ready to lean in for a good snuggle. He's still working on his loose leash walking, but he gets rave reviews from day fosters every time he goes out. What needs no improvement is his fetch game. He may be 8, but you'd never know it watching him sprint to the end of a yard, catch the ball and happily trot back to you where he leaves it at your feet. Come meet this Golden Batchelor today!

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.
