Blair is a 60 lbs GSD.  She was born in February 2023 and surrendered to VGSR because she went after chicken.  Imagine that, a GSD with prey drive…

Blair is spayed, UTD on shots, on preventives, and crate trained. Bottom line up front, Blair is the type of dog I would adopt if I were in the market for another dog.  She is healthy, energetic, has good prey and toy drive, and is food motivated.  She has had some formal training, walks reasonably well on a leash, and has good recall.  

Having said that, I will add that she can come on a bit strong both with humans and with other dogs and she is especially protective of “her” backyard.  Some people find this a little intimidating, but it’s a manageable characteristic that can probably be improved with maturity and a little work.

Blair is loyal, affectionate, playful, and protective.  Lives with two other dogs and plays with both, although she can be a bit rough.  Can be selective with other dogs, so introductions will have to be supervised.

She also has a tendency to jump up and lick your face, which can be a bit disconcerting.  For this reason her interactions with small children, or children not used to youthful, energetic dogs should be closely supervised.

Blair needs an outlet for her energy.  Her ideal adopter is someone with at least a modicum of GSD experience and willing to further her training and find mutually rewarding activities.
