Ranger is a very well-bred dog from 100% German bloodlines. He is 2 years old, neutered male. Ranger has had professional training and is very well mannered and obedience trained. He is housebroken and crate trained. He is ok with other friendly or neutral dogs with proper introduction, he is not a dominant dog. Friendly/neutral with strangers, ok with children over 12. In his previous home, he developed some resource guarding behaviors toward the teenage children - we suspect he believed himself "above" them in the chain of command in the family. a safely fenced yard for daily off-leash exercise is preferred. Ranger loves to play ball and is an active young dog, perfect for an active person or family who has experience with the breed and plans for ongoing training and daily off-leash exercise. The higher adoption fee reflects this quality young purebred dog and his training.
