Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Charley is a normal puppy with normal puppy behavior. Charley is not aggressive in any way, and loves to snuggle in various pretzel positions. She responds well to being in her crate with a nice soft bone, and can sit nicely while being presented with her food. She takes treats nicely. Charley plays well with her two foster siblings, and takes direction from them appropriately. She likes toys and plays with them, but does not yet seek them out. Her potty training is not yet 100% complete, but there have been no problems with her using the designated area for her potty business. We are still awaiting her definitive “signal” letting us know that she has to go. When taken out overnight, Charley immediately peed and pooped and after a quick sip of water, went right back to her crate and resumed sleeping. If left unattended, Charley will counter-surf, and this is being addressed and corrected consistently. Part of this is that Charley is very excited and engaged and really wants to know all that is her surroundings. She is quite focused and observant, and does not react to loud noises like zooming cars and roto-tillers. Charley is: Energy Level 4-Shep on a Mission: This dog needs daily exercise, training, and play. They will need to be taught to settle. S/he may be destructive if not exercised/worked enough.

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.
