Asta von Asendorf is a gorgeous 3 year old German Shepherd. Remarkably beautiful, this lass also brims with a mind of her own and strength of character. Loyal and affectionate with her beloved humans, she is not for the rookie owner but for a seasoned Shepherd person - one who understands the discernment, loyalty, smarts, and protective instincts of the breed. She comes out to meet the day excited and happy, walking well on leash, alert and curious about everything. While on leash she meets other dogs great, with a wagging tail, but may need  a proper introduction to new people. She is extremely sweet towards her handlers, rubbing on them when petted and rolling over for belly rubs. Asta is always wanting to please. An extra-bright girl, she knows the “Sit," “Down” and “Paw” commands (including in German) and is very treat-motivated – which makes her a willing and capable student of anything you want to teach her; she’ll pick it all up on the fly! When it comes to playgroups, there’s no other way to put it than to say that she’s a star there. She has become a very social and friendly girl – so able in her interaction skills that she can coax just about any dog to play with her! Although she greatly enjoys being with other dogs, she can be a rough player. This awesome girl will bring focused love, safety, beauty and brains into your home. However, no world-seasoned kitty would vote “yes” for sharing her home with Asta.
