Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Timber von Tegau is a stunning 2 year old German Shepherd with some striking coloring. He knows he is something special and has confidence. He will need an owner with previous big dog experience. Timber is overjoyed with excitement when he sees his person; time to be adored! He is housebroken and has some obedience training. He enjoys walks and hanging out with you. If you work from home, he would love to be with you, he loves the office at the rescue and staying close to his person. We would like a home with a bigger space so he could do his own thing when he gets his puppy zoomies and wanted to frolic just by himself. He was born with an unusable leg, but he does just fine with three legs. He walks well with other dogs and hangs out in playgroup. He is about his people and loves all the attention. Come meet gorgeous Timber, you definitely will turn heads when you stroll by with this magnificent dog.

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.
