Meet Cheyenne! What a gorgeous girl she is! If you are looking for a classic example of the breed, then she may be your girl. Cheyenne is a very smart, sweet, strong girl that clearly represents her breed. She would do best with a strong leader, although she is very attentive to you. Without one, she will take the initiative and train you. Also typical of the breed, she has a high small animal prey drive, so NO cats at all, and small dogs are probably out. She is fine with larger dogs and with children and is gentle, but because of her strength and size, children 8 or over would be better. We are working on basic obedience. She does not seem to have had much training, but is learning quickly. She is attentive, but somewhat aloof at times, typical of the breed. She enjoys being with other large dogs, but would be fine as an only dog, unlike some that do best with another dog companion. If you are looking for a real German Shepherd, you need to meet Cheyenne!
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.
