Buddy is a sweet 7 year old Long haired Black and Tan German Shepherd. Buddy just wants to be loved and when he turns that big head of his towards you and looks at you with his beautiful brown eyes you just can't help but to oblige him.
Buddy loves to go on walks and spend time with his humans. He's great on a leash. He doesn't really pull at all and is one of the most gentle walkers I've ever had. He gets along well with other dogs and is good around kids of all ages. He's a big boy but decides he's a lap dog when he really wants some attention but he gets down with a bit of persuasion.
Buddy is housebroken and crate trained. He knows some commands like sit but his desire to sniff everything sometimes overcomes his desire to come when called. Luckily he is very food motivated so additional training should be pretty easy.
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.
