Claire von Combs is a delightful, petite 14 month old German Shepherd.
This lovely girl with the rich, black coat is one great pup. She recently
went out on a hike with one of our volunteers and demonstrated the most
wonderful manners. She rode well in the car -- sat and laid down quietly in
the back seat the entire trip. She walked beautifully throughout the hike,
never pulling or roaming too far ahead. She greeted everyone who wanted to
come say hello -- big or small, two-legged and four-legged -- politely and
with a smile. Claire greatly enjoys a hike as she loves to get out and
explore the world. She carefully sniffs every smell and wags her tail at
every new prospective friend whom she sees. And when it comes time to take
a break in some soft, cool grass, Claire enjoys rolling around, but her
favorite things are cuddles and hugs. Back at the Kennel she gets along
with the wide range of canine personalities and they all seem to like her as
well. She got an A+ at playgroup; she minds her manners but still loves to
play. Claire is the type of friendly and perfectly-sized dog that would fit
well in any home. But what Claire is really looking for is a family that
enjoys going to new places as much as she does, that doesn't mind when a
hike is held up a little bit for one really good smell; and that will teach
her all the basics that she needs to grow up to be the friendliest and
smartest dog on the block.
