1.5 year old female pure-bred German Shepherd. She is spayed, microchipped, house, and crate trained.
Recently went through professional training and does very well with commands. She will need continued reinforcement. She is mellow and does not chew shoes or belongings. She has only ever chewed 1 rug that I have. She will do her best in a home as an only dog and with children older than 10 years old. She has become resource aggressive with toys, bones, and food. She has not been aggressive with me or other people, as I can put my hand in her food dish and she does not care. She does bark, growl, and become very aggressive with my 2 smaller dogs if they get too close to her crate or other resources. I am only rehoming her to protect my smaller dogs. I have no doubt she will be your best friend and guardian
