More about Apollo

Apollo is a three year old male German shepherd/Rottweiler mix (parentage known). He weighs approximately 65 pounds. Apollo was surrendered to his trainer when the owners were relocated to another country (military) and did not make plans to take Apollo with them. Apollo is a super sweet boy that loves people. He doesn’t meet a stranger, loves affection, loves to be with people and doing whatever it is they are doing! He has medium to high toy and food drive, high hunt drive, wonderful possession, is confident in new environments and will hunt in new places. He loves to play fetch and has a beautiful “natural” recall to his name. Apollo will engage and “work” with strangers eagerly and happily! He is not very comfortable on rubble but has only been exposed to it once, so this could potentially change with time and exposure but he is not a naturally-confident rubble dog. He has had basic obedience training and knows basic commands (sit, down, stay, heel). Apollo has had training from a protection-based trainer and Apollo LOVES to work. His training is all equipment/toy motivated and has been centered around toy/equipment drive, cadence barking, and encouraging eagerness to work with a handler. Apollo is NOT people-aggressive and has zero desire to “bite” a person, unless they have the proper equipment . He is crate and house trained, and does well in a kennel environment. Currently, we are unsure how Apollo does with other dogs as he was not raised with them in his home. He is non-aggressive and curious when seeing/meeting other dogs through a barrier (kennel door), and he works well with a handler with other dogs out in the environment but at this time, we are unsure how he would actually interact with another dog.
