My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Riley von Romrod is a stunning 6 year old German Shepherd who doesn’t miss a thing. Extremely intelligent, she reads her handler's body language to the tee and loves to be challenged. Give her the command “Where is Mommy” or where is “Daddy” and she’ll track her person down room by room until she finds you. Loyal and affectionate with her beloved humans, she is not for the rookie owner but for a seasoned Shepherd person - one who understands the discernment, loyalty, smarts and protective instincts of the breed. She walks great on leash, alert and curious about everything. Riley is indifferent towards other dogs. She doesn’t bark at them or want to interact, and would be fine as an only dog or live with a submissive male. She will tolerate confident cats who aren’t afraid of her. She is an extremely sweet dog towards her owners, cuddling and affectionate with getting scratches and rolling over for belly rubs. She sometimes forgets she’s a large German Shepherd and will try to sit in your lap. She knows basic commands and can learn new tricks through treat-motivated play. She also understands some hand commands without using words. She loves obstacle courses or going for hikes. She is most comfortable with adult women and one alpha man. She will most likely not want to be pet by any other men, only other women with the proper introduction. Riley needs to be in a child free home and prefers adults or teenagers.

Based on our experience, Westside's current thinking is to usually match first-time shepherd owners with a mix versus a purebred shepherd. Mixes are "softer" and somewhat more malleable. Exceptions can be made, however, for first-time adopters who show the confidence and leadership tendencies that purebreds will respect and respond to. Counselors have to use good judgment in assessing the attributes of the adopter, as well as of the dog. If you have doubts, get a second opinion from Robin or another experienced counselor.
