Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Captain von Carlsberg is a gorgeous, 1-2 year-old, long-haired German Shepherd. Model alert! Captain is not only gorgeous enough to be a model, but a sweetheart. If Captain were to write his college admittance essay, he’d say his true passion is people. Wherever you are, that’s where Captain wants to be, leaning against you and watching the world pass by. And if you could pet him while you’re at it, that would be really, really great. Then he could show you how well he sits on command and takes treats so gently. With a medium energy level, Captain walks gorgeously on a leash (and not just because his coat flows so prettily in the wind). He does well around other dogs on walks and in playgroups, preferring the calmer non-pushy ones. Handsome Captain is looking for the rest of his crew: Apply today for an adventure of a lifetime.

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.
