Shadow von Stolpen is a delightful, 11-12 month old golden German Shepherd.  This friendly boy thinks life is just one fabulous, fun adventure after another, and he can’t wait to meet you, your family and friends, and everybody else on the planet. Anticipating a good time, Shadow is at first excited on the leash and very ready to get going. He is attentive to guidance though,  and -- true to his name -- soon shadows his handler cheerfully.  He meets the other dogs on the walk well (albeit a bit much for some); in fact, the more the merrier. Off leash in play groups, Shadow meets other dogs and humans with a wagging tail. Best of all, though, is the kiddie pool. Given a choice, he will spend all his free time playing in the water. He also enjoys just being with our people in the office, demonstrating a perfect response to a sit command, taking a well-deserved treat gently, and then curling up for a nap to dream about his next exciting adventure.
