German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat) : : Male : : Adult : : Large Learn more about the German Shepherd Dog.
***COURTESY POST*** THIS SWEETHEART IS NOT A CAUSE FOR SB PAWS DOG, SO PLEASE CONTACT HOLLY AT 909-938-4825 OR powserh@verizon.net FOR MORE INFO ON THIS SWEETIE. Steele is a 2 year old, neutered, microchipped German Shepherd (maybe Malinois) mix. He is a tall, goofy boy at 70#. He hasn't quite grown into his body and is a little clumsy sometimes but is a happy and loving dog.
He has been tested and found free of intestinal parasites and heartworms. He gets along well with medium and small dogs. I have not tested him with large dogs or cats but he was very excited to see our rabbit in her cage and therefore I would not trust him with other small animals. Steele is super friendly with people but is a bit exciteable and would most likely knock over small children and toddlers. He bonds very quickly and wants to be a lap dog. He is afraid of my husband when he is sitting in his recliner-especially when he picks up the remote. I am assuming he was abused by someone who sat in a chair similar to ours. He is friendly and approaches my husband when he is not in the chair. He is not food aggressivie and I've reached in his mouth several times to retrieve socks, paper towels, and sticks. (He really enjoys all three.) He loves to play with other dogs, toys, and balls. Steele loves attention and uses his body to try to keep the other dogs from getting to me. He mouths at their ears and places himself between them and me. We are working on this and with repeated commands he will sit and wait his turn until I am finished petting the other dogs. Steele is very smart and super motivated to make you happy, so he is very trainable. He needs continued training on the leash-sometimes he is perfectly happy walking on a slack leash beside you and sometimes he pulls. He is housetrained and has never had an accident in the house.
Overall he is a fabulous dog, super sweet and loving. He still has a lot of "puppy" left in him so would do best with a family that is a little more active. He loves to give lots of kisses and snuggle with his people.
I am in Running Springs.
