Rocco
Animal Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals should be supervised at all times.
Child Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
Rocco is two years old, a tall, handsome gsd. He is very sweet, gets on well with other dogs, and has been very gentle with our five-year old grandson. Rocco is anxious to please, is very obedient and easily corrected - he does not like cats or squirrels! He loves to play 'fetch' and to play with his squeaky toys.
He is very trainable and we are currently working on crate training and teaching him to walk nicely on the leash. After initial excitement, he settles down and loves to explore the trails etc.
Rocco would love an active family who would fulfill his potential. He would be very happy with another dog too - he is loving and affectionate but just because of his size he might be better in a home with older children.
He is neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on all vaccinations.
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.
