Velvet von Vierling is a gorgeous 2 year old German Shepherd on the smaller side. You will enjoy your walks with her because she is so easy on leash, even if she is walking with another dog. She is very comfortable in her surroundings, acknowledging passers-by without breaking stride. This medium-energy, easy-going lover girl delights in giving kisses and receiving belly rubs. She gets an “A” in cuddling because she likes snuggling up to you while you are watching TV or immersed in a good book. Her size makes her easy to hang out in your office or accompany you through Petco. Velvet likes the company of another dog but shies away from a large group of dogs. She could be the star performer in an agility class, running through tunnels and leaping over hurdles, which also means that an apartment or condo will be the safest environment for her; otherwise, she will have to be supervised when she is outside because the fence could present a challenge to this nimble athlete.
