Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ginger von Giesdorf is an adorable 3 year old German Shepherd. An engaging, affectionate, friendly, loveable, playful girl who will shower you with kisses - that's Ginger! Our social butterfly is also a star student. She is a graduate of the K9 Youth Alliance where she completed three weeks of advanced obedience training. Watch her cute video to see her amazing skills like "sit pretty", place, park, down, down stay, and come. With a medium energy level, she walks well on leash. Squeaky balls and stuffed toys are her favorites. She prefers to be the only pet in the home as cats are not her thing, neither are dogs who get too close. If you're looking for a lovebug and a smart and fun companion, Ginger is your girl!

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.
