is a petite two year old solid liver female GSP, weighing in at under 50 lbs. She was turned in to rescue because her owners had no time to spend with her. She grew up in a family with a beagle, two yorkies, and eight kids. Unfortunately, because they were "hunting dogs", her family made Sadie and the beagle live outside and never bothered to housetrain them. We have been working her on housetraining and crate training and she's been very reliable.  She will need to be crated when left alone--but she does very well with a nice chew bone or stuffed Kong.  Sadie is very friendly with people--she loves everyone she meets, whether man, woman, or child. And she wants to be near you--which is so typical of the Shorthairs. Even when she's outside watching the birds, if you walk over to the other side of the yard, she follows you. She is easy to handle at the vet's office, giving no fuss as she got her required vaccines and had her nails trimmed.  She has learned to come when called and sit for her dinner.  She walks pretty well on leash with a no-pull harness or prong collar.  Sadie is a bundle of energy as we expect from a 2 yr old GSP, so she will need a home that can provide her with a lot of exercise on a regular basis, in a safe location such as a fenced backyard. Although Sadie was raised with 3 other dogs, we find her to be fussy about which dogs she likes and doesn't like.  She does not appear to like other female dogs but she does get along well with several of the male foster dogs we have had, and enjoys chasing and being chased around the yard.  And she had no problems in a full vet's office with all the other dogs around, since they were under the control of their owners and not in her face.  Because she is fussy though, we suggest her as an only-dog home, or ensuring she gets along with the current dog before adopting.  She has an extremely high prey drive, so we think she would not be good in a home with cats.
