Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Talia von Torgau is a delightful 18 month old smaller sized Shepherd mix. This pup is named Talia because “sugar and spice and everything nice” was simply too long of a name. Talia goes about life with a charming gentleness, from the way she takes treats to the way she treats dogs and people, what more can we say? Talia knows how to sit on command and walks well on a leash, loving to take time to explore. She has medium energy levels, but don’t be fooled: At 46 pounds, there’s a lot of love in that small package. Imagine the heart-eyes emoji face, and that’s basically what you see when Talia looks at you. She ambles into playgroup calmly, greeting other dogs well, sometimes even with a kiss or two. We asked this girl for her best life advice, and she said, “Start every day with your tail wagging.” She lives by her own advice and is eager to share the joy! You can’t buy happiness, but you can adopt Talia!

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.
