Alegria

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Alegria, a young German Shephard girl, arrived to us after being found on the side of the street without a microchip. She was in quite a good condition so she must have come from some sort of a home, where she was not wanted anymore. Alegria is beautiful and extremely intelligent, just what you would expect from a young German Shephard puppy. She is just the right amount of spicy and active, has her own preferences and opinion, but at the same time loves to work with a human and learns at lightning speed. Once her initial energy from being a long time in the kennel, is released by running in the dog park, she quickly looks for a connection with the human, even while other dogs are sniffing around. She is also very food-motivated, so that makes it even easier to work with her. She loves to be together with her canine friends, and does her best to keep up with the running speed of her two Podenco-friends that she lives together with. Alegria is very playful, and spends most of the day gently wrestling with her friends in her kennel. She can be barky from excitement at first, so this is something to keep in mind and to work with. German Shephards in general are usually vocal when younger, but that is something that an experienced dog-owner will have under control very well with positive reinforcement and boundaries. To allow her full potential show, Alegria is definitely looking for an experienced dog-owner, who is interested in hobby-level of canine work, whether it is Search & Rescue, nosework, Agility, tricks training class, obedience. She is not a sofa dog, and is looking for daily mental & physical activity. Ideally Alegria would love to join a home with 1 or more dogs already waiting for her, but in the case of the right human, she could also very well be an only dog as she is quickly concentrated on the human. In this case however, very regular canine contact must be provided for Alegria, to ensure raising a well-socialised adult. Alegria is also good with children who are not afraid of dogs, barking or jumpy energy, she is a big puppy afterall. She would love to live in a setting with exterior space and opportunity for physical exercise majority of the day. An apartment setting could only be considered when located near the nature, with very active humans. Her current shoulder height is approximately 45cm at the time of writing.
