Description:
Derry is one of a beautiful litter that we rescued. Their momma, Evelyn is a truly beautiful German Shepherd. She is jet black with soulful eyes. This sweet dog was picked up by Animal Control, lost, alone, and about to give birth. Mary Beth, the administrator, called Judy and asked her to please take her and her little family ~ she'd given birth to five puppies. By the time we got there, the count was up to seven! Sadly, two didn't make it.
8/31/08 Foster Update: Derry is an outgoing puppy and loves to explore. The little blue spot that you see on her chest is a crochet collar, that we made her so that we could tell the puppies apart. We call her Derry Blue. She is a wonderful puppy.
We expect Derry to be spayed and ready for her forever home in early September.
***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schà¤ferhunde, 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.
