Duffy is a 2 year old German Shepard, spayed female. Duffy is initially shy and cautious of new things, but is willing to try new things, such as her new experience of attending doggy daycare. She thrived hanging out with other confident, playful dogs, so we feel another canine companion would be best for Duffy. Duffy is housebroke and crate trained, rides well in a car and is very willing to learn new things. a 6 foot fence will be required for Duffy as she can easily jump a 4 foot fence. Duffy tries very hard to be as obedient as possible, which is typical of the breed. Duffy will be forever loyal to her human master. Shes would do best with teen children as young kids, toddlers make her nervous. Duffy is fully vetted and looking for that special someone.
