Ellie von Elze is a gorgeous 2-3 year old German Shepherd. This lovely girl with the cutest beauty marks on her cheeks is quite statuesque. As you can see in her delightful photos, she's a shepherd of a good size but with the heart of the happiest puppy. Ellie is great on the leash -- she's always happy to go on walks and she strolls the neighborhood confidently and with a smile on her face. She likes to sniff and explore, but her favorite thing about walks is meeting new people along the way. Although she's the type of girl to walk and walk just to be at your side, she would opt for a cuddle session at the park over a long hike in the mountains any day. She loves belly rubs, ear rubs and full-body massages -- and pays it all back in loving glances and many, many puppy kisses. Ellie is quite well socialized; she meets most types of dogs very well, even is quite tolerant of bouncy types. However, in playgroups don't be surprised if she just hangs back looking for your affection rather than rough housing with the pack. Ellie is a great balanced dog that would do well in most situations, but what she's really looking for is a home that doesn't keep her good looks and sunny personality all to themselves. She's a great dog to take to the park, the outdoor mall, even the office. This girl is ready to make a name for herself.
