Meet the All-Around Good Dog - Baxter! He is a male German Shepherd/terrier mix and is between 1 - 2 years old. Baxter is a good size dog, weighing around 45 pounds and this is full grown. He has a thick brown coat with black woven in it with the body of a shepherd or lab. Baxter was pulled from our local animal shelter where he had been picked up as a stray by Animal Control and was down there for over 2 1/2 months and we don't know why!
He is such a nice dog with an even temperament. He is friendly and social with a rather calm personality. He would make a great walking/jogging partner but also enjoys his quiet time in the house with his person. Baxter is too big for an apartment and needs a fenced-in yard to run around in and have plenty of room to exercise. He seems to get along well with other dogs and walks well on the leash and rides nicely in the car. Baxter should be fine with children 8 and up, maybe not younger ones due to his size. We have started on his crate training.
