 Remmington is a sweet, smart, wonderful boy, who loves to go on walks. He is great with other dogs, large & small, but will chase cats, & we are not sure what he would do if he actually caught one. He loves children, & would be fine with large or younger ones. Remmington is crate trained, housebroken, can use a pet & loves to have lots of chew toys. He would be best crated if left alone without a pet door, until he is used to his new home, as any other dog. He knows basic commands & walks well on a leash, but would have to pass as a jogging partner, at least for a while.

Remmington

Remington just LOVES humans. He wants to be where you are. He is not real needy he just digs being around his human. He also LOVES his crate and will often just hang out in it with the door open. Car rides are his very favorite thing. He would walk away from a T-bone steak for a car ride! Remington developed a slight limp and the vet said it is pan osteitis. He should outgrow it or it will just go away in a few months. No big deal. It is not serious but could possibly reappear. But, if it does, again it should be temporary. The medicine for it is called Metacam. This guy is worth it! He is energetic when you first come home but mellows out quickly. He is very handsome and funny too. If you want a bit of a lower keyed GSD yet still loves to play, go to the dog park, walk and car ride then Remington is your guy. Loyal, smart and lots of personality!

 

NOTE:  In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids.  In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children.  However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction.  Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species.  Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.

The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' direct experiences with the dog. The dog's age is an estimate, and statements about the state of health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, is estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different.
