Rio von Richter is a classic looking 18 month old German Shepherd. Rio is one of those dogs who has it all. He is so beautiful, has a perfect coat and an especially soft and gentle face. He is affectionate and loves to snuggle. He is very good with other dogs and is in a play group at our boarding kennel. He is agile and would need at least 6 foot fencing. Rio was just evaluated for a program for at risk kids. The dogs have to endure a test which would encompass anything a kid might do to them from pulling their legs and tail to giving them a bear hug to loud shrieking sounds. Rio did very well and is going to be in the program. He will be working on his basic obedience training with the kids and a trainer. If Rio is adopted, another dog will take his place. Rio would rather be back in a home in bed with you!
