Bear is an 8-month old, 76-pound German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix and is still growing.  He has a lot of puppy energy and can be jumpy when excited, but is very smart and learns new cues like a champ. He is extremely food-motivated, and enjoys solving puzzle toys.

Bear is very playful, and will need a lot of physical and mental exercise. He absolutely loves his people and is very friendly to visitors.

Bear does not get along with other dogs in the same household and needs to be the only pet. He can live with older children. It is important for Bear’s new owner to understand that he is still an adolescent and will need a lot of training. He is a big, goofy youngster who is looking for an active family capable of handling his size and energy.
