Rugger von Rugballe is a beautiful 11-12 month-old mid-size German Shepherd mix with a gorgeous rich coat.   Rugger wants you to know that he just needs a minute. He’s just not sure about new people and new things yet, but he’s going to get there with some patience and training. Are you patient? Do you like teaching? If yes, please proceed. Initially rather hesitant to venture forth, this young pup is already adjusting to his new environment and seems generally quite happy to be out for a walk. He's up to meeting new friends on leash, at times pulling a little, but he'll get his business done quickly so we think he is already housebroken.   Rugger does great in playgroup — he meets all dogs wonderfully and seems very comfortable hanging out with other pups. He wants to reiterate that he just needs some time to get comfortable. Then, we’re sure he’s going to love you forever.
