Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Roman von Rosche is a striking-looking, 2-year-old, "blue" German Shepherd mix. His beautiful sage eyes may be the first attribute that draws you to Roman, and his lovely demeanor will close the deal. He seems to be an old soul; he has an ease with people and a calm with kids. He may be on the larger side and mid-energy, but he prefers to be dignified. On walks, he stays close to his handler and meets dogs well. In playgroups, Roman explores, mingles with all types of pups and returns to his people for affection. He seems to be very comfortable in various environments. He knows a few commands and gently takes treats. His forever family will reap the rewards with this guy, and he will be a loyal, devoted member of your family. His forever home should be cat-free.

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.
