Bonnie

Bonnie: • Age: 2 years • Temperament: Playful, skittish yet seems eager to please • Interaction with People: Bonnie is incredibly friendly and non-aggressive. She enjoys attention but hasn't made it to the cuddle stage yet. She does not follow any commands but is treat-motivated and seems to be coming around to the idea. • Interaction with Dogs: Bonnie gets along with other dogs without incident so much as we have observed. We have introduced them to our dogs, and they mostly just want to play. Our dogs on the other hand are not interested and even with a growl from them, Bonnie makes no aggressive stances or moves. She just walks away. • Triggered Behavior: Bonnie has a strong prey drive when it comes to cats and small animals. She becomes alert and focused and will not stop until she is distracted, and even then, she'll return to where the cat or animal originally stimulated her to continue her investigation. • Separation Anxiety: Bonnie experiences separation anxiety when away from Clyde. They have formed a deep bond and separating them would possibly be detrimental to Bonnie’s well-being unless provided for by someone with extensive GSD knowledge and experience. • Food: Bonnie has no food aggression whatsoever. She allows Clyde to eat from her bowl while she's eating, and she allows us to take the bowl from her at any point during her meal Ideal Home: Bonnie and Clyde would thrive in an active household where they receive plenty of exercises and mental stimulation. A securely fenced yard would allow them to play freely without triggering their prey drive. Additionally, they need a patient and understanding caregiver who can address Bonnie’s separation anxiety.
