Troy

Adopted!

Troy weighs in about 85 lbs., 26” at shoulder. He is a sterling example of the classic working German Shepherd Dog. He has a strong ball drive, an excellent work ethic, great physicality, high energy and an intelligent mind. He’s too modest to mention being easy on the eyes, handsome in traditional black-and-tan. Troy will be an excellent companion for someone who is looking for the best friend of a lifetime. He has the potential to be a strong contender to train for obedience. He is people- and dog-friendly, but couples his willingness to please with a way of his own. He is not above manipulation or bullying to get his way, whether it is to throw that ball for him one more time or let him take that empty water bottle for his toy. Cats are not his friend. Troy is house-trained, has good house manners and understands basic commands of sit, down and come. Currently he is working on playing nicely with his four brothers and sisters (4 legged), which is going well except when he wants to be the “playboy” to the girls. He would be best in a home that understands the German Shepherd as a working dog. He wants to be the center of affection and promises in return to be extremely loyal, try diligently to learn his lessons and provide countless hours of fun. Troy is being fostered in Virginia Beach.
