Battista von Baum is a picture perfect 12 month old German Shepherd – as classic as they come. Housebroken and with mid energy, he’s a large boy who enjoys his walks and doesn’t think twice about pulling you to his destination – so some basic leash training is in order. This handsome guy meets other dogs well but tends to mind his on business and do his own thing. We were told that he used to hang out with a couple of Chihuahuas. After spending a little time with you, he wants to cuddle and look at the clouds. Battista’s calm personality is a winner in our doggie play group; he meets all of the dogs well and then opts to lie down in the kiddie pool and observe the action. He loves water and is hoping his new family will have a swimming pool; if not, the hose and/or a kiddie pool will do.
