Tomas von Thun is a darkly gorgeous, good-sized 2-yr-old male German Shepherd who is highly intelligent, sensitive and protective and wants to be with his person as much as possible.  He is housetrained, walks beautifully on leash right by your side (not reacting to other dogs), knows his basic commands and has had some professional training.  His demeanor is calm and his energy level is medium but he needs daily exercise.  He loves to play fetch with a ball or catch water from a hose. Tomas will do best as an only dog (no cats or other critters) in a calm 1 or 2-person adult home.  He has a very sweet and tender side, bonds quickly,  but  can be protective and needs a stable and permanent  home to further his trust.   He requires an experienced, calm and confident owner who is able to be with him much of the time and who is familiar with the breed.  In return he will reward his person with enduring deep love and loyalty.
