Yankee von Zeitz is the sweetest 8-to-9-year-old German Shepherd. He is very easygoing and well-mannered, with a nice calmer energy level.  This big boy is also very sweet with people after a short time.  He walks great on a leash and expects other dogs to show him the same courtesy and respect that he shows them. Yankee enters doggie playgroups calmly and, although he is tolerant of highly energetic dogs, he will probably be happier in a house where dogs are as chill and laid back as himself. Yankee is possibly housebroken and is looking for the perfect owner with whom he could cuddle.  If you live outside of California, this is not an issue, Yankee has the enthusiasm to go all the way to you.
