Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sire von Siegbach is a striking-looking, 2-year-old German Shepherd. The original gentle giant, Sire is the king of the big boys. We are happy to report that not only is he gorgeous, but he is as sweet as they come. Charming Sire would love nothing more than to lie next to you and receive some petting and head scratches, he even gives kisses in return. He is super smart, and already has his "sit" and "down" commands mastered. He walks in a wonderful heel position, and he meets dogs politely along the way. In his playgroups, Sire is the host with the most – he’ll stand at the entrance and greet all of the pups as they come into the yard. Like any good party host, Sire is also a master in the art of mingling – once all of his guests are in the play yard, he’ll make sure he checks in with everyone individually. (He's not for small dogs or cats, however.) Sire is just a big wonderful boy looking for his forever home. If he sounds like your kind of pup, he would love to review your application!

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.
