Still there, right?

I am considering going there-I have to get Kramer something different to eat until I can go to Rochester and there is a little shop in Bath that has good brands of kibble. So I could do two things at once.

I went to the pet food store in Bath and got Kramer some mellower food until he gets his poops back in shape. While I was in the area, I stopped to see Angie, whose "real" name is Angelina. Which totally fits her. I also thought, oh wow, kind of like Angel-Nina. That's another reason I went-Nina was 8 when I got her and gave me so much in the time she was with me, I'd like to see someone else get the same kind of friend with this girl.

I am thinking I will post most of the pictures in a picture thread that I will link here, but will start with a couple of cuties.

She is about 7 yo. They do not know if she's spayed, but will be before she leaves. She was a cruelty case-this is Southern Tier NY, a poverty pocket, so that she was confiscatable is pretty telling. I know that sounds kind of mean, but I am just using it to emphasize the lack of care.

She is a very young 7 from outward appearances. Energetic, strong, playful. Of course she's been there 2-3 months so needs an outlet for that and is getting a high level of frustration being kenneled.

The second thing I did after meeting her (first gave her a treat) was to lift her lips and look at her teeth and there was no problem. They left me out back in the exercise area alone with her. I of course am always suprised when I meet a normal dog with a good temperament. I think of what would happen if I put a stranger in the back yard with one of mine and so many things come to mind! Touched her all over, even the hips and no problems. Did not touch the paws specifically, but she gave me her paw numerous times. Not shy!

She did sit, down, high five with enthusiasm. Loves her ball. Loves the workers there-watches for them when they leave. Extremely intelligent, very "GSD" in her ways.

Has some attitude. WAS very interested in the cats, but I could see her not living with them maybe, but getting a good leave it for her ball or other high value item, using some positives and reinforcing with a negative if necessary once she learned it.

I did not test her with other dogs. If I had brought my own leash (they have the ouch ones that burn your hands) and if I was feeling bold, I might have, but I was just enjoying her normalcy too much to spoil it. I have no idea if what they are seeing is due to the small spaces the dogs are confined to and frustration or if she really is DA. However, there is no law that says dogs are required to do community service with other dogs, go to stores, or things like that, so I (not being a trained evaluator) saw nothing else that would make her a bad choice for someone with GSD experience.

In fact, she reminds me of Ilsa with a good temperament. So whereas I can say you have to watch Ilsa with cats, other dogs, and people who move...this dog I would say watch her with cats, dogs, and as far as I could see that's it. Again, not a trained evaluator.

That's all I can think of-let me know if you have any questions. I'll edit and post more pictures later-right now we are outside and I need to play a bit with the pack!

Are all these people here to see me?

Bumping her official thread!

I hope they will test her with a male dog soon b/c I'm sure your wonderful pics will generate some interest!

So she has not been tested with males? She is a real beauty. I am interested in learning more about her.
