My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pauly von Plauen is a very handsome 3 year old German Shepherd mix. He's the kind of boy who will follow his people around looking for head and belly rubs. He's a "leaner" who gives you adoring looks to tell you how much he loves you! He comes out calmly, looks forward to his walks, and walks nicely in a heel position. Exploring and sniffing about is fun too! In playgroups, he mingles and greets other dogs in a sociable, calm and comfortable manner. He does appreciate his treats and takes them gently. He knows some basic commands and is a medium energy guy. Pauly is housebroken and is well behaved when left alone in the home. He can be cautious with new people who come into his home so proper introductions are needed. He loves his squeaky toys but not small dogs or cats. Pauly will be a devoted and loving companion!

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.
