RAGNAR (aka Rag, aka Rags, aka Rex) is a majestic long-haired black and red German shepherd and will get comments every time you take him for a walk, guaranteed! He resembles movie dogs (Rex from the movie “Megan Leavey” is a spitting image). But don't let his good looks fool you, he is also very smart, walks on a leash like a pro, and loves to go on long hikes with you. He loves to fetch on land, but his specialty is fetching in water so if you have a pool and some water toys you will have him jumping in as long as your arms hold out. RAGNAR loves water. If a pool isn’t available, he will play in a big tub or dunk his head in his water bucket. Oh, and he loves to be sprayed with the hose!
RAGNAR can be reactive to other dogs at times, so he requires an experienced handler. He is probably not a good match for a first-time dog owner or someone who does not have the time to work with him to teach him what is, and what is not, acceptable in public. He would also do best as the only dog in the household. On the positive side, the volunteers at the ranch are happy to work with you and RAGNAR if you are willing to put in the time. He will be your true friend, will not leave your side, and will make your life so much better for having shared it with him.
