About Jack the Shepherd/Hound Mix | |
|
|
Jack was found wandering the streets by a dog lover. He was adopted from us by a loving family about a month ago but unfortunately, they cannot keep him due to allergies of multiple family members.
Jack is crate trained and house trained. He walks perfectly on a leash and knows all of his basic commands, including Shake! He's very smart and eager to please. He is great with kids and other dogs. He has lived in a home with cats but can be a bit "too" playful with them. Jack is a young, energetic boy who would beenefit from a home able to give him lots of exercise and play time. He's the perfect mix of playful, loving puppy with a happy, mellow old soul.
***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
