Birthday: November 1st 2005 Likes: Java LOVES our children and being by our side at all times. Pet-Peeves: She doesn't like being left alone by herself for long periods of time without having a dog buddy. Favorite Toy: Java isn't really interested in toys, she loves chewing on pig ears and bones. Favorite Food: The goodies the kids throw out for her and "vaccuuming" them off the the playroom floor. Favorite Walk: Java doesn't go for walks but she does love playing outside with our other dogs. She loves to tackle Ash! Best Tricks: Opening up multiple doors :-O Bio: Java is our East German line female. Even though comes from pure German working lines, she is amazingly calm and laidback in the house (though she does love to play while outdoors). She is not as tall as our other female Rayne, but is stocky and stout, Jason describes her as sturdy "like a table". We loved the look of her parents as they were the type of German Shepherd we wanted to reproduce. She is nicknamed "the couch" because, while all our dogs are excellent with children, she absolutely LOVES to come into the playroom with the kids and be used as the couch. :) To reiterate, we are NOT Shiloh Shepherd breeders nor King Shepherd breeders, merely large German Shepherd breeders of large German Shepherds such as Java.
