Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Milo von Rostock is a beautiful, 4-year-old German Shepherd. Don't be fooled by his size: Milo is the poster boy for "big softie." He's a strong, sturdy fellow but a rather polite gentleman. Milder-energy Milo's ideal day starts with a lazy morning — you sipping coffee and him simply chilling/snoring. If you head out for a little, there's no need to stress; this bright boy is house-trained and does well at home alone or in the yard. Milo enjoys his walks, loves rubbing on you, to remind you it is time for some petting, he settles down and is ready to proudly show off his exquisite leash manners as well as respond to all basic commands. Milo's social skills in our canine playgroups are admirable; he's all about making furry friends yet also avoiding problems. Come meet this handsome hunk and fall in love!

Based on our experience, Westside's current thinking is to usually match first-time shepherd owners with a mix versus a purebred shepherd. Mixes are "softer" and somewhat more malleable. Exceptions can be made, however, for first-time adopters who show the confidence and leadership tendencies that purebreds will respect and respond to. Counselors have to use good judgment in assessing the attributes of the adopter, as well as of the dog. If you have doubts, get a second opinion from Robin or another experienced counselor.
