Adopted!

Maxmillian Vom Wilder Lago was born April 23, 1995 and his parents are Lago Vom Glockenstreit and Ary Nieder Vom Feimster Haus. Max is registered with the American Kennel Club. We purchased Max when he was eight weeks old. He has always been well cared for in a loving home. When he was twelve weeks old I began taking him to work with me since I did not like the idea of leaving him home alone all day. As a result of this coming to work each day, Max became extremely socialized. People in the town of Purcellville "adopted" Maxie through constant contact with him. He loved the attention he received from his "fans". At times entire families would come to the store just to see Max. They would be frustrated and disappointed if he was not there. Max never had "issues" even with small children. He could be trusted with the smallest child or any adult. Often customers would bring their own animals into the store. Max got along with just about every dog who came for a visit. He never attacked nor became aggressive with another animal. In all the years I have owned Max he has never bitten anyone or any critter. He is a gentle animal best described by one customer as a "gentleman". Even with these qualities Max is still a wonderful watch dog. At home he will bark loudly at anyone who comes around. Because of his size and protective nature he keeps people "honest". Max is a perfect blend of a socialized German Shepherd who knows just what his role is. At his current stage of life Max has put on weight and moves slower than he used to. He eats one can of Science Diet Senior food a day mixed in with dried food. Sometimes he will get bits of a hot dog or pork chop that our small dog gets when they are fed once each day in the evening. Max has his current shots and has been tended to over the years by Dr. Stang, a veterinarian at Loudoun Veterinary Clinic in Purcellville, Virginia. Max has no hip dysplasia. He is currently living in Purcellville VA. Adopted: 07/22/04.
