Xander is new to foster so more info will come later. He is high positive for Heartworm and won't be able to start treatment for several weeks. So far, he gets along very well with his very large foster brother and sister GSDs. He loves to ride in the car and will wait there patiently. Otherwise he prefers not to be left alone. He's very active and fun...willing to play with a ball, frisbee, toy or anything else that's offered. Loves to run and jump. He's smart and learns very fast.... might be a candidate for agility, tracking, or rally. Loves dinner time best of all!
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' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
