Alaric(aka Aws) is the most cuddly dog I have ever known. All he wants in life is to be a 92 pound lap dog, and yes, some times I let him get away with it. He loves petting and attention with exreme enthusiasm.
Aws loves to work just to get your approval. His obedience is lighting fast on leash or off. As German shepherds can be clowns, Aws wants to be the best clown in the world, he loves to make people laugh.
Aws has been hurt twice by men, because of this he is very shy with new people. With women he warms up quickly but with men it takes a long time before he will trust them. He loves kids.
Aws loves to go places, until he figures out there are people there, then he wants back in the car.
Aws is good with all other animals except adult male dogs and sheep, though he is controlable around both. Aws loves to play with and is very careful with cats and puppies.
Aws is a very energetic, physical dog and he will sometimes push(slam) against people very hard, so he is going to need an active physically strong person. I will say that though Aws can be pushy, I have never seen him even rock a kid much less knock them down.
