My story

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

Mars von Marienberg is a striking-looking, 2-year-old, black sable German Shepherd. An impressive male, big and strong, Mars likes having something to do and will thrive in an active home. He is good with people, attaches quickly, and asks for more pets by gently nudging your hand, reminding you that he is there for belly rubs and ear scratches. He has a goofy side and can be playful with you. Mars doesn't mind walking with other dogs and enjoys meeting them even face-to-face. And, he has a happy and friendly demeanor in playgroups. This social boy does well with people and dogs but not with cats. He seems to be housebroken. If you are looking for a magnificent big guy who'd be a great hiking buddy, and have what it takes, Mars might be the one for you!

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.
