Foster update: When Raven first came to our home she was very scared/ shy. But now that she starting to get use to the family she starting to warm up to the idea of having people around her. But when she dose warm up she loves to sit in your lap when you are watchin t.v. Raven dose good on a leash she just dosent like all of the loud noise that gose by. She tends to go everywhere her sister gose so she would be the perfect pet who would be home most hours of the day and who has other pets because she is not use to being by herself since she is either by her sister(Kiely) or by one of our other dogs. She will often be seen playing tug-a-war with my other dog. Raven is a bundle of joy for any body to have around them.
Raven and her siblings were rescue from a high kill shelter. These beautiful puppies are a bit shy and need some socialization.
***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.
