What do you mean you don't want me!!

Look at this face. What do you see?

I see a sweet little girl that would do well in any ones home.

The adoptor saw a devil.
She was the bad girl of the puppy kindergarden.
She bit a dad at the puppy school.
She drags the cat around by the neck.
She tackels small children and drags them.
She beats up other dogs.
She is three months old.
Returned after only a couple days : (

At our house she is living with one alpha male.
Two dominate canine females, and one VERY alpha human female.
We have no issues, I guess she has strong policing here.

She is fear aggressive when she is not sure of a new situation, but redirects quickly.

I think she is going to be a real challenge for a novice.

Naughty girl!!

I see an angel who can be trained to handle any situation appropriately if given the love and attention needed to do so. I guess the adopter was not GSD savvy or dog savvy for that matter. But she is beautiful, how sad they didn't even try to work with her to help her.

Ah but she's so pretty!

She is adorable! I hope she can find a really dog-savvy person to adopt her. She sounds like a handful, but what a sweet face!

I see a sweet and lovable baby.

I see issues that will go away with some boundaries, leadership, obedience and love. I see a dog that deserves a second chance b/c her first chance was fouled up by an uneducated owner.

She is precious!!

But I do see those devilish eyes, look at her already claiming the couch,

I see a puppy that is being a puppy!!

I see a puppy that is no different than those kids she *allegedly* tackled...a kid that needs to learn right from wrong.

She has that" what do you think I am doing" look on her face. Very pretty

When we interviewed this family they said all the right things. They did enroll her in classes. I think they were not prepared for this girl.
Sometimes it is hard to judge how the pup will act in a new home.
Kayda was owned by a teenager, she had to move in the middle of the night, and her family called me to pick up the dog the next morning. She was nothing but good in my home. She was jumpy, and did not know any boundries. In a day we had "sit", "off", and "stay way from Klaus" down. She is very smart. I usually keep our rescue dogs for at least thiry days to make sure we get a good feel for the personality. On pups we generally place them quickly so they can get started in their new homes ASAP. Maybe I rushed little Kayda to fast? We will send her to a home next time that has strong GSD experience. She is such a sweet girl I would love to have her. My crew is at maximum so she can't stay.
I think the adopters are looking more for a Lab personality, or a mature GSD that they can see what they are getting. It did not help that the trainer lead them to believe Kayda might be a liability.
