MA, 15 month old, female, trained

[Brighthorizondogs]

My trainer is moving and needs to find a home for his female, Yashi. She is a purebred german import. She is obedience trained and has had a little protection training. She has not been taught to bite but does bark. She heels nicely, sits and downs quickly and even pottys on command. She is schutzhund registered and tattooed. She is a very friendly girl, full of energy. I'm watching her while she looks for a home. My neighbor is bothered by her barking (she only barks when someone is in the yard that she doesn't know) but they have threatened to call animal control if she doesn't find a new home by next weekend. She is a really good dog and has lots of potential.

She's beautiful. I'd snatch her up if i was closer and knew my husband wouldnt kill me for it. lol. good luck!

I know of a couple in MA who were thinking of adopting. How is Yashi with children? They have a daughter who is 8. They are very experienced and had a high drive male german shepherd.


Thank you

She was raised around children. I'm not sure the exact age of the kids but I think they were about the same age. She has been good with kids while with me.

BTW the move wasn't planned and happened suddenly. She is such a sweet dog but protective.

Kat, I sent you a PM.

Thank you

Let them call animal control. If this is alert barking like you say and not excessive (my city defines that as 30minutes of non-stop barking) then you have nothing to worry about. Don't rush placement of a dog if there is no reason.

What does schutzhund registered mean?

Dang, I would take her but my dog house doesn't have room for me, my current dog and a third.

[Brighthorizondogs]

I believe he means the dog is registered with the united schutzhund club of america United Schutzhund Clubs of America - Litter Registration Requirements for the USA Breed Registry

The problem is I'm over the limit for the number of dogs we are supposed to have. All the dogs are licensed and they haven't said anything yet so it is best not to make trouble with them. They could cause a lot more trouble for us and make us get rid of some of the dogs or pay an arm and a leg to get a kennel license if the neighbors would sign off on it. The problem is she is waking them up in the morning even if she only barks for 15 minutes. I understand where they are coming from though. I don't like when my dogs bark in the house while I sleep. The one dog is the problem since I'm over full and just don't have much space for her. I took her in as a favor.

You know, I'm sorry but that is no excuse. You have chosen to break the law. You should be paying extra for choosing to own more dogs than your city allows without proper license. Have you seen the thread about the med student caught cutting up dogs? Do not rush in placing this dog.

I hope you will do the right thing and pay to own more dogs now. Otherwise start looking for homes now before you get caught and have a short period of time to find a home(s) or the city takes the dog(s)
