Umah is my three year old German Shepherd Dog. I bought her from a good breeder in Oregon when she was five months old. She comes from working line dogs, that compete in sports such as Schutzhund, and there have been a few that have gone on to become police K9's. Umah was sold to be as a pet/companion because she has lower drives than what is necessary for a true sports dog.
Umah is a dork. There is really no other way to put it, lol. She's got a ton of character and, in my opinion, a great sense of humor. She's extremely loving and friendly, and very smart too!
Umah and I tried out hands/paws/noses at SAR, and while she wasn't the best, she was pretty good. Unfortunately I had to pull her out after just a few months, because with the drive (over three hours both ways), work, and school (plus having four other dogs at home at the time) there just wasn't enough time.
We continue to train at home, unofficially. She loves it, and I find it a lot of fun too. She loves to play "Hide and Seek" with my nieces :lol-sign:
If anything, she has made me really look to the future when I have more time, when I'd like to get a dog with SAR in mind just for him/her.
