Nice German Shepherd Available.
DOB: Dec 7, 2009
Kiko XXXII(registered name)
Cooper(call name)
Color: Sable
Intact
UTD on all vaccines
Sire: Sadikavons Schatten Falke
Dame: Britkavons Aufruhbrer Dame
Trainers Notes:
Cooper is a nice, mid sized male German Shepherd with a great temperament. He distplays the typical, standard(as it should be) aloofness of a "real" German Shepherd.
He bonds well after about 4-5 days and from that point on, is willing to do whatever it takes to please us. However, he just looks at you drolly should be too repetitive.
He is obedience trained, heel, sit-stay, down-stay and come. We are working on doing more with him with regards to his obedience.
With the right handler this dog would be an awesome assistance dog. He is "in tune" with his handler, and attentive to their needs. I am having sciatica issues, and he has honed in on the fact that my left leg is numb and weird feeling. He pays special attention to that, and wants to like it all the time. He has also keyed in on my blood sugar levels, which surprises me after such a short period of time. But he has been right on when he gets "whiney".
He is a beautiful dog, not fully grown, but having reached his full height. He is a good eater, not being too picky about what he gets, altho, he is hesitant to eat "raw" meat just yet. He enjoys just being with his handler and hanging out.
We have been to several public places, Kmart, Publix(local grocery store), laundry mat, Flanigans(local eatery). He has done well in these places and tends to ignore people(a good trait in an assistance dog).
If you are considering this dog as an assistance dog candidate, please be aware, that German Shepherds easily become "over protective" of their handlers once they hit 2 yrs or so. If you are not astute enough to deal with this, then don't bother. If you are not an assertive handler, do not bother.
He is not being sold with the guarantee that he will become an assistance dog, btw, only that he CURRENTLY has the temperament to do so IN THE RIGHT HANDS.
He is being sold for 1500.00. His price will go up as his training progresses.
Rescued Rottie Available
Kaylie is a 2 yr old Rottie, who is spayed and current on all vaccines.
She comes by way of a fellow trainer, whom I have worked with for years and years and years.(Thanks Lori!)
Kaylie was a pretty sick puppy, and was on antibiotics, which has left her "stunted" and her teeth stained.
Otherwise, she is in great condition. She has a loving spirit, and a willingness and desire to please.
She is a great Rottie for someone with a weight restriction in their complex, as she weighs in around 50lbs.
She is obedience trained, crate trained, and house trained. She knows to heel, sit, down, stay and come, and would easily pass a CGC test. She could, with the right training, make an awesome assistance dog for someone who was wanting to owner train.
There is an adoption fee with this girl: $300.00. This covers one training session, and 10lbs of food(she eats only premium food).

We need some stuff for the dogs!!!
We are desperately in need of some warehouse fans. 32inches or larger, floor or pedestal, or something we can mount to the wall. All the dogs have a 20 inch floor fan, but we need something to circulate the air better.
We could also use a portable air conditioner. That would be totally awesome.
Some other things we need:
Printer, all in one.
Digital Camera. The pentax that I have finally bit the dust...boy has it been awesome! Another pentax would be great, as I have lots of lenses that go to it still and could be used.
PVC dog beds, to get the dogs up off the concrete. I have tried carpet and other stuff, but we need something that is water resistant, and chew resistant!!!!
4x4x5 Kennels. These are the kennels that you see for sale at PETCO/PETSMART/ETC...they are panels that are easy to put together, 2x2 inch welded wire, black in color. They are really great for our needs!
Freezer. Small chest freezer for storage of meat, for raw feeding. I get "bone dust" from the grocery stores, and I pick up chicken leg quarters on sale all the time. However, without a lot of storage space it is tough to take advantage of these deals! We also have a couple of restaurants who donate the trimmings from their lamb and chicken! But, again, with limited storage, it is tough to take advantage of this! We currently have a small fridge(about 9cubic ft) which is awesome!
Website. I really need to get the website up and running again. However, I am not the best at this project....I think it's because I don't have the "time" to do it.
A great warehouse space. I would love to have some warehouse space, with garage bay doors, and some area in the back to put the dogs while we are cleaning(IE< fenced in lot?) Currently we are located near a homeless soup kitchen, and the patrons tend to harass the dogs, if they are tied out while I am cleaning. Nor, can the patrons obey simple rules and requests....it is so hard and stressful on the dogs, which makes it really hard and stressful on me. Ideally, this warehouse space would have some office area and a shower, but that can be added later.
Travel Trailer. About a 30 footer or larger. Can be a fifth wheel. I would prefer no motorhomes, but will take one, if it comes available.
This is just some of the things that we are in need of. Email me for more specifics!
