We occassionally have older dogs or retired dogs that are available. Preference will always go to our previous owners for retired dogs, for example, we’d love it if you wanted to adopt your dog’s mom after she retires.
We currently have some available retired dogs or upcoming retired dogs. If you would like to one, or would like to get on the list, please contact Julie with either a call or text: 520-732-9775.
Roy – German Shepherd/German Shorthaired Pointer Male – Available – $300
solid Black – born april 20, 2024 (he’s 1 year old)
Health, Color, & Size
His sire is a Bear Paw German Shorthaired Pointer with excellent hips and elbows, so we have no concerns about joint issues commonly seen in German Shepherds. Expected to grow to about 70 lbs and 25” at the shoulder, making him a well-balanced size for an active lifestyle. His jet-black coat (with a touch of white on his chest) is longer than a GSP’s but not as thick as a full German Shepherd’s, making it easier to maintain.
Personality & Temperament
This boy is highly intelligent and eager to learn. He picks up on routines quickly and will thrive with training. While he’s alert and watchful, he is also very affectionate, wagging his tail every time he’s near his people. He has strong instincts for chasing birds, lizards, and playing fetch. If you want an interactive dog who loves to engage his brain, he’s your guy!
Activity & Lifestyle
He loves hiking, fetch, and exploring new places. He’ll be happiest with an owner who enjoys being outdoors and interacting with their dog. While he’s not aggressive, he has a natural watchdog instinct and will alert you to unexpected visitors. He’d love to ride shotgun on errands, explore new trails, or just hang out by your side, learning from the world around him.
A Unique Beginning, a Bright Future
This pup was part of an accidental breeding when a Bear Paw German Shorthaired Pointer owner also had an unspayed German Shepherd. Due to overwhelming circumstances, the previous owner couldn’t provide the attention he needed, and he was tethered outside before we stepped in to help.
Now, he’s thriving in our care, running freely in our large exercise pen, gaining weight, and showing his sweet, loving personality.
The Best of Both Breeds – He has the loyalty and intelligence of a German Shepherd, balanced with the playful, affectionate nature of a German Shorthaired Pointer.
Social & Adaptable – While he may prefer human companionship over dogs, he does well with other dogs in our care and is young enough to adapt to any home.
Overflowing Potential – He’s looking for an owner who will engage his mind, let him be part of their daily life, and provide the love and structure he craves.
If you’re looking for a faithful, intelligent, and adventurous companion, this boy is ready to meet you! Text me to learn more or to schedule a meet-up!
