Arrival Story:
I went to a dog shelter after seeing a particular female GSD on their website, but I wasn't alowed to see her because she had just gotten out of surgery (desexing) so they brough out a different GSD for us to see. He was about 9 months old, nice looking, had the best ears! and seemed quite friendly, so we took him on a walk to get to know him (they were not so possesive of the dogs as other places I have seen, they just handed over the lead and told us there was a nice coffee place down the street and a park around the block, bring him back in an hour) So off we went, we could tell he had a lovely temperament and although he had no training he could turn out to be a great companion. Now I know you arn't meant to take the first dog you look at, but he was perfect, exactly what we were looking for. So we brought him home and havent looked back since!

Bio:
He was found all alone wandering the streets and impounded, then taken in by a no kill shelter where he stayed for 2 months. Now hes a spoilt house dog who gets lots of attention and regular trips to the dog park. He enjoys obedience training and has earnt 1 pass towards his CD title and has started Agility classes. We have had a few herding lessons, and he also has his Endurance title.
