Let's meet Maya
German Shepherd Dog, 11 Months old
My favourite thing about Maya is...
she is adorable, smart, curious, inquisitive, and checks things out first rather than bark at everything. Her temperament is wonderful
The biggest challenge with Maya is...
Leadwork as she tends to pull, but we have now invested in haltie (aka a gentle leader) and this has made a tremendous difference.
The most surprising thing about owning a German Shepherd Dog is...
how adaptable they are.
What I wish I’d known about German Shepherd Dogs is...
Maya is my third GSD but my first GSD puppy and it has been a learning curve.
