About Rose’s reported breeds
Labrador Retriever
Listed as Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is a medium-to-large sporting dog, and the AKC places it in the Sporting Group. Labs tend to be friendly and eager to learn, but many have high energy and need daily exercise and structure. The coat sheds heavily, and weekly brushing helps manage it. The AKC gives a general life expectancy of 11-13 years, and Labradors are prone to weight gain that can worsen joint disease.
German Shepherd Dog
Listed as German Shepherd Dog
The German Shepherd Dog is a large working dog, placed in the Herding Group, that is known for intelligence and loyalty. The breed is described as courageous, confident and smart, and tends to be protective in unfamiliar situations. It needs significant daily exercise, mental stimulation and consistent training, and its double coat sheds heavily. Joint disease is a major concern, so ask a veterinarian about screenings.
A mixed-breed dog may show some or all of the personality traits associated with the breeds listed, in their own combination. The shelter's observations tell you more about this individual dog.
