Hi - my name is Cindy and I am glad to have found this forum. Our dog is Holly. She is a six year old German Shepherd who is a career changed Guide Dog. We adopted her about 4 years ago and we love her dearly. We have had a German Shepherd before, and are amazed at their personalities.
When we adopted Holly she had lost her focus and most of her obedience training due to some problems with the person she had been assigned to. We've worked hard to recover her obedience training. She has the attitude that she listens to us when it is convenient for her Overall, she's a great GS with a wonderful, loving, personality. And very empathetic. She'd make a wonderful therapy dog if I had the personal time to take her through the orientation and training.
Anyway, she is why I am at this forum and I hope to learn more about GS's and dog behavior while reading posts.
