About Kahn
Purebred long haired black German Shepherd, 12 mo. Mostly black glamour coat with tan on lower legs and tiny bit on top of head. We would welcome adoption inquiries from GSDC members etc.
Sadly, Kahn has had two homes already before arriving to us. As a pup, he was allegedly locked permanently in a dog enclosure by his owners. Then he was purchased and consequently surrendered to us by his elderly owners due to accidentally injuring the elderly female owner by jumping up.
Kahn is extremely boisterous due to having no prior training, however he is of course extremely intelligent and has great potential if training is made available to him. He is commencing obedience classes with a dog trainer soon. He gets along with large female dogs, although he is best suited to a household with NO EXISTING DOGS OR CATS. He plays with my F maremma pup who is a similar age, but much larger and heavier than Khan and they both play as rough as two bulls wrestling in a paddock. This will not end well with another dog...Kahn is a very strong dog who doesn't like being outwrestled, so new doggie playmates are not recommended at all.
Kahn loves long car rides and adult human company, playtime with his ball and loves the river. Does not use his mouth to grab humans/no biting demonstrated at all. He is very gentle with adult humans but UNSUITABLE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN DUE TO HIS BOISTEROUS NATURE. Kahn does not like cats and will not live successfully with poultry due to his high predatory drive. He will kill poultry.
He requires a large land size for him to run free, with extremely strong fencing. He is a very, very strong, fit and agile dog who can jump like an Olympic equestrian competitor, run like the wind and can push through high thin wire fencing as if it's made of straw...
Please provide evidence of your land size/ownership and describe the environment you could provide for Kahn. Adoption fee $800 due to his pedigree (no papers).
He is an active working dog by nature and requires regular exercise which includes running. He dislikes dog enclosures or confinement. Understandably he does not like being left on his own, as our son has been his daily companion and he becomes stressed with no human company. He is not going to benefit from an owner who works full time and/or is away from home constantly.
He has just turned 12 months old which is the minimum age for castration due to risk of testicular cancer in GS males. Kahn will be castrated on 30th June and will not be adopted before this date. Vaccinated, health checked and microchipped.
He has classic GS breed behaviours so please ensure that you are familiar with this breed before making inquiries. Preference will be given to GSDC members or similar upon applying.
