Sounds like a great dog. We have a shepherd we rescued 5 years ago. Great smart dog but we do not know his history other than what our vet told us. Very abused.Good temperment, protects us from other dogs but has not met a bad person. he loves attention but certain thing makes him cower.We figured these things out and have worked with him to not be afraid of those things anymore.It only took my wife 2 days to have him sit, high five and roll over to play dead.He is about 11 years old best we can tell so he was not spring chicken when we got him. Knew his name and when my wife drove to Augusta to get him, the lady had a fenced back yard . There we many dogs including 7 shepherds.My wife went to fence and said his name even though she did not know which one he was and he came to fence and put his head to her hand. I guess the old saying goes, the pet picks you and not the other way around. I will look into your breed cause They are beautiful and we are talking about what to get next time when our boy moves on. Not that we hope that happens soon. thanks for info.
