Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Heinz von Herzig is a stunning 18 month old, well bred German Shepherd. It amazes us every time we find such gorgeous shepherds in shelters. Heinz must have had some training, he walks very well on leash, he sits on command (even without treats) and seems to be a gentle boy. Nothing seemed to faze him much while our volunteer walked him around a busy city street. One of the endearing things about Heinz is how he walks a little ahead of you sometimes (without pulling), then turns back and comes right over for a few seconds of attention (a pet or ear rub) then continues walking only to turn back and come back to you again, and again. It's just too cute. He doesn't alert much to other dogs other than the usual curiosity. He's a dog who will bond very quickly and will be a major love muffin for someone. Heinz needs to gain a few pounds and have a good bath .. and he will be even more beautiful than he is now.
