10-month-old German Shepherd. Not neutered. Up to date with shots. House trained, knows basic commands such as sit, stay, paw, eat on command. Crate and prong collar trained.
Fear reactive towards other dogs, especially large breeds. Currently in a home with a cat and 2 shih-tzus and has never shown aggression towards them. Kid friendly.
Apollo needs more than I can give him currently, outdoor time, mental stimulation and consistent training. He deserves more. Hit a financial hardship and currently working 2 jobs to support me and 4 kids.
Highly suggest someone experienced with this breed as he is working line and highly active.
