Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Addie von Aerzen is a beautiful, 2-year-old German Shepherd. A sweet girl, she loves to win a good petting session with you and will reward you with lavish puppy kisses. Settling in at a medium-energy level, she knows several of her commands and enjoys earning treats. Showing off good leash manners, Addie likes to stop and sniff along the way during her outdoor adventures. She meets other dogs well and walks like a little lady in a group of pals. In her playgroups, Addie is calm and comfortable as she explores the grounds, mingles and greets everyone. Showing a generous spirit, she is currently sharing her run with no issues.

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.
