Meet Niko
German Shepherd Dog, 3 years old
My favourite thing about Niko is...
He is like another child, him my 9 year old and 2 year old are a mischievous trio! Always following each other around the house.
The biggest challenge with Niko is...
Such a fussy dog! If he doesn't like something he will literally spit it out.
The most surprising thing about owning a German Shepherd Dog is...
The intelligence. These dogs are highly trainable and always eager to please their owners.
What I wish I’d known about German Shepherd Dogs is...
They are giant lap dogs, personal space? What's that!?
