Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Stax von Staitz is a beautiful 2 year old German Shepherd. He will take your breath away not only by his stunning good looks but by his joyous nature. He always enjoys hanging out with people, requests pets and will repay you with snuggles and sweet kisses. Mr. Congeniality loves to please and learn, is eager to learn more, especially if you have treats which he takes gently. On daily walks, he's great on leash, walks politely next to you in a heel position and is relaxed walking with a pack of other dogs. In daily playgroups, he is the social greeter. In the house, he's well mannered and is even house broken. He's ready to bring love and light into your life. (He's not a fan of small dogs or cats.)

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.
