Sharifah is an absolute beauty, estimated to be between 4-6 years old. She is smart, vigilant, loving, affectionate, and playful. Her primary purpose, from her perspective, is to love and protect you.
This incredibly intelligent girl can be a bit insecure, so her optimal match is with someone who has a confident leadership presence. This will help her feel safe and secure, and she'll truly appreciate following your consistent lead. She thrives when given clear instruction and seems to find relief in knowing what is expected of her. Once she feels safe, she bonds deeply, is eager to connect, and is very appreciative of those she accepts. She is as loyal as loyal gets and will have your back, and knowing you have hers will bring out the very best version of her.
Sharifah thrives in a structured and secured environment and values a loving and engaging connection. She would do best in a home with at least two adults. A defined community of people she can regularly interact with would be ideal, and someone willing to gently expand her comfort zone would be a bonus, though not required as she would be completely fulfilled with an intimate circle of friends.
Sharifah is not fond of strangers in her home, but she loves hanging out with you, both inside and outside. She enjoys playing ball and finds peace sniffing and wandering in the yard. Quiet walks are also something she appreciates and would enjoy regularly. She requires some level of socialization and did well in boot camp once properly introduced to staff and other dogs. Continued training will bring out even more of her potential. She is house-trained and crate-trained.
If you have experience with powerful and sensitive shepherd breeds and value the close connection and partnership that comes from routine training and enrichment, then you know if Sharifah is the one for you.
