Rufus is a young man with lots of energy who needs a job. He will thrive in an environment where he can be active alongside his human. Rufus must have an experienced handler. He is not for a novice GSD owner. He gets along well with other dogs but insists on being in charge. He knows basic commands; he sits, lies down, and jumps in the truck to go for a ride. Rufus is currently enrolled in higher education and is going thru training at a very prestigious school. This boy needs a human who will love him and he will love his human three-fold. More information to come as we learn more about this extremely intelligent young man.
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.
