Ryker von Rieneck is a delightful 14 month old Shepherd mix.   This sable cutie with the pointy ears and adorable bushy tail has shepherd looks packaged in an adorable fun size.  He is a confident and independent dog.  He walks well on leash and his higher energy level can keep up with even the most active person.  He is very curious -- always smelling, looking and seeking.  He will come up and ask for affection, but is not clingy and at times appreciates having his own space.  Ryker is very social around other dogs.  He comes alive in playgroups, meeting everyone well and looking for playmates.  Cool and sure, he integrates himself easily in many different types of packs. No dog seems to faze this boy. Ryker is seeking a patient adult home that can connect with him, one where he continues on his path of learning to trust and growing to be as well-balanced as he is loving.
