Viking von Viernheim is a striking looking 12 month old Shepherd mix.  The first thing one notices about Viking is his unique dark coloring and his golden eyes -- but there is so much more to him than just a handsome coat and mesmerizing eyes! This is a dog that is wise for his young age. While tentative and observant at first in new surroundings, he immediately relaxes in the comfort of his canine tribe, offering a wagging tail and friendly kisses all around.  He is calm in the bath and walks beautifully on the leash, staying close to his handler and showing a medium level of energy.  He is delighted to be in playgroups surrounded by other dogs.  Viking is so friendly and charming with everyone, he could run for mayor of the dog park!
