For your consideration.
Meet Tahkoma! A spunky young male GSD looking for an active home or breed familiar family to call his own. Currently located in North Carolina, USA.
He has been fully trained (basic leash manners and remote collar conditioning for all commands) by yours truly and will come with follow up support and included training lessons for his new family. He is potty trained and crate trained. As with most adolescent dogs- he still requires management and crate time so as to not become destructive in the home.
Tahkoma is a dark sable male GSD, 6 months old. He is not fixed at this time.
He is handsome, spunky, and inquisitive.
He completed a board and train program here in RVA recently where he showed great food drive, moderate prey drive, and was very environmentally stable around things like slick flooring, loud city buses, shopping carts, etc… by the end of his training stay.
He is easily redirected via obedience and snacks and rarely has a problem now- but did show some inklings of natural suspicion and dog reactivity upon arrival to our program. I find this to be true to his breed- he has all of the standard tendencies of a working line puppy.
He is fairly high energy and can be pushy if not given appropriate boundaries. He has been exposed to cats and chickens and is able to leave them alone when asked.
He is too driven for his current home and his family has made the selfless but difficult choice to look for a better fit for him while he is still young and malleable.
He has EXTENSIVE training for his age and would make a wonderful active companion for someone who is breed savvy. He is well versed in heeling, remote recall, place, duration down, and sit. He rides well in the car (crated).
There is no rehoming fee requested at this time by his family, but we will be incredibly picky regarding where he goes. Expect to provide references and be fully vetted.
His owners would prefer someone local to the SC/NC/VA area who will take advantage of his *free* follow up training and support.
I did not test him specifically as a working prospect so cannot speak to if he would be a candidate for sport- he has been raised as a pet- but it is possible he could be a nice fit for someone who wants to dabble or who is looking for a club level companion to learn a protection sport with.
Please reach out to [email protected] or via PM with all inquiries.
Pedigree information and proof of appropriate vetting can be provided by his family. He is not AKC registered. Additional videos showcasing his obedience are also available upon request.
Please share and help us find this deserving boy his perfect fit! 💕
