Rosie~ German Shepherd x Mastiff (on trial 2/2/19)

Introducing Rosie - a 3 year old German Shepherd x Mastiff mix girl who is a total sweetheart. Rosie has big doe eyes and a soft grey coat.

Rosie is a sleek and tall girl which just means there is more of her to love. She is a softie, and a bit of a lapdog who enjoys affection and will give you gentle licks on your hand to show her love.

She would do well with an active family with teenagers to play with, or a home with a friendly, adult canine companion. She loves to go for a walk/run and loves to spend the afternoon in the backyard chasing the ball and running around. Rosie loves to snuggle and have a scratch on the belly and sometimes will lay her head on your lap.

Rosie loves treat rewards and will shake your hand and take them gently when offered. She is so smart she already can sit, shake, drop and stay. Rosie tends to pull on lead when out walking just because she loves to get out so we recommend a walking harness for her. Rosie can be a bit responsive toward other dogs on lead and become a little anxious so will need some guidance in this area.

Rosie responds best when she has consistency and routine - a daily walk or run (she would suit a jogger) and play time in a secure yard (with 6 foot fencing) would be her perfect day or on a large property. She would love a home where she is included as a family member and she's allowed inside with her people and able to sleep inside on her own bed. Rosie loves when you come home, she gets so excited to see you and make sure she says hello to everyone. She won't suit being a yard only dog as she loves people too much - she wants to be with her favourite people - you! Rosie enjoys being entertained with bones, chews or puzzle toys and daily activities to keep her fit and healthy. She would do well at group dog-training classes or being trained to do dog sports like agility.
