An Independant Review of Shadow 8/24/00
He is a beautiful dog who lives for affectionate companionship. It took
little time or effort to elicit engagement for active play, and he enjoys
ball, toy and tug play with his people. Provided an opportunity for
reward-based training, Shadow should come along nicely in obedience due in
large part to his eager readiness to please his handler. He responds well
to verbal praise and guidance and would not require a heavy hand to produce
solid obedience. He is not a chronic barker nor a digger, he gets along
well with other people, and when out in the yard he is a discerning
guardian of property without unnecessary barking. With continued supervised
time in the home he should settle in nicely. He does not display aggression
toward other dogs while on walks out in public, even to dogs actively
aggressing toward him. He has shown a strong guarding instinct while in his
crate, warning off dogs who breach his perceived territory. He is not a
hard dog, and his overall bearing and attitude express confidence. Initial
bitework on the tug shows potential for a calm, firm bite and continued
incremental training could further bring out the prey and defense drives
left dormant for lack of training and stimulation. He is crate-trained and
goes in and out easily on command. He is not accustomed to an outdoor
kennel and would not be an appropriate dog for somebody requiring that
their dog spend time in an outdoor kennel facility. Of course, with his
early exposure to sheep and herding training he is an outstanding candidate
for someone seeking a herding GSD; he would also be an excellent candidate
for a person seeking a GSD for personal companion and property guardian. He
would also be an enjoyable first dog for the novice Schutzhund handler. All
said, Shadow would be an attentive and affectionate companion regardless of
the formal training to be undertaken.
