Story
Jax was born near Fort Knox with lots of brothers and sisters. He comes from three generations of purebred German Shepherds, but without the paperwork. We picked him due to his energetic personality, curiosity, and food drive. He was busy eating the whole bowl of food while his siblings were playing. We worked with him everyday for 1 year reinforcing the basics. Sit, down, stay, come, fetch, and bed (place). He does these commands without treats but still recommend ongoing training which is standard for the breed. He is very food driven so that makes training a bit easier. He is an amazing dog and I can’t give him the time, exercise, and training he deserves anymore. He is shy at first and needs to be accustomed to visitors or other animals. He loves playing fetch with a ball in the yard, training new commands, head and belly rubs, and really just loves being your best friend.

Story
This sweet boy is an Aussie Doodle-his name is Jefa (HEH-FAH) & he's 7 yrs old. I was searching for a companion for our 2yr old Cocker Spaniel, who has extreme separation anxiety & the man who gave us Jefa said he was great with other dogs etc. but they don't get along. We've done all we can to help him adjust to our household but as good as he is 1 on 1 he just does not have patience with a high strung roommate. He's a sweet natured dog with beautiful gold eyes, is pretty mellow on his own, and just wants lots of love and attention. He's not been neutered, (I tried but the snip clinic is full), is smart, fully house trained, loves car rides, and would be a great companion in a single pet home. I am asking for a small re-homing fee just to make sure he's going to a stable loving home. Let me know if you'd like further info.

Story
We found Mickey dumped in a field, estimate age when found 4 months old. He is now going on a year old. All his shots are up to date. His vetenarian is Shepherdsville Animal Clinic. We believe him to have been abused. He is a very sweet dog.Loves to cuddle and play and is not high energy. We have two other german shpeherds, and we thought 3 would be ok, but it is too much to handle. The first one we got is a working line german shepherd. He requires a lot of our time, going through intense K9 training. Mickey has got out of the yard and been aggressive towards neighbor. He did nip one neighbor on the leg, just a scratch. We then put him in training with the K9 handler to figure out what was causing this. He has been in training for few months, taking him to Lowes, socializing him, working on his obedience, and behavior. He is doing a lot better in public, but will need to be leashed and continued training. Update: He is now doing really well in public and leash training.
