Cannon is approximately 10 months old. He is such a sweetheart and has a very "soft" personality. He would love nothing more than to be your forever friend. He is still learning quite a bit about being a house pet. He came in with Cassidy from a shelter in NE, they might be litter mates. We think he was from a backyard breeder and had no socialization. He is making leaps and bounds everyday. Cannon still has a lot to learn though and a lot more filling out to do. He is 62lbs currently and should probably be around 75 to 80lbs. Cannon gets along great with other dogs and even likes cats. He LOVES kids and is very good with them. We are still wokring on house training but he is kennel trained. Please consider Cannon and he will be your best friend for life

Foster Update 9/24/2010:

What a difference a week makes!  Cannon is thriving.  Its incredible to watch him learn - he is a sponge for knowledge right now and is accepting the rules very easily.  He discovered that countersurfing wasn't allowed with a just two verbal corrections, has learned 'lay down' and knows to sit for dinner, outside, and walks. 

Cannon has not had a house accident here - though he does not want to be outside alone, he needs to focus on getting his business done - and not on worrying about where his person is at.  He's gaining weight well and is feeling much more healthy and energetic.  He is still very much a playful puppy, but his temperment is so sweet and gentle that he just doesn't want to do anything wrong and does very well at staying out of trouble.

Cannon has breifly been around young children and done very well, he is cautious around the very small ones and just wants to be in the middle of whatever the older ones are up to.  He would love a canine friend and/or a couple of kids to pal around with.  He will make some family very lucky.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
