German Shepherd Dog, Mixed Breed
February 8th
male, medium, young
DESCRIPTION
Clyde is a gorgeous, young, mid-sized dog with beautiful amber eyes. He came to us significantly under/non-socialized and anxious. Since then, he has progressed by leaps and bounds. I believe him to be a GSD/Husky mix probably combined with a smaller dog like a Shiba Inu. He has the amazing trainability and intelligence of a GSD and the independent playful spirit of a husky. Clyde is house-trained, walks well on a leash, is rapidly learning commands, but needs more socialization, desensitization and exposure. He walks very well on the leash during neighborhood walks. He generally shows positive interest in other dogs, and would hugely benefit from the presence of a well socialized pup He loved his foster parents neighbor's rat terrier He responds reliably to the down and recall commands, and he has recently mastered the sit command. he does frequently perform a perfect heel. His energy level is medium, which may increase with further socialization. His tendency to be vigilant tires him out rapidly He loves shredding boxes that have treats hidden in them He is a quiet dog, rarely barks and mostly makes noises that are typical of huskies. While he prefers to be with his people, he has not shown significant separation anxiety, and at night, he sleeps by himself His foster did not crate him often as he did not show signs of being destructive Occasionally he presents his belly for belly scratches All in all, Clyde is an amazing dog who just needs a bit of help to bloom into the great companion dog he was meant to be

These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
