Maddie Patti

Profile

I introduce to RAGOM and the world, Maddie Patti. It is such a goofy name for such a  regal girl. Maddie is half Golden Retriever, half German Shepherd. She arrived at my house yesterday from the northern part of the state. In the time I have had her, I have seen a lot of the German Shepherd in her. She slept at the foot of my bed, between me and the door, even though she was invited up on the bed. She is a barker and barks at people walking close to the house. She isn't interested in snuggling on the couch, she would rather sit by the door.

This morning as I was making pancakes, I was thinking to myself 'how am I going to sell a German Shepherd to Golden Retriever fans' when, out of no where, Maddie Patti comes galloping into the kitchen with a stuffed toy in her mouth. Good! There is a goofy GR in there! And I am anticipating to see more of it as this gorgeous gal comes out of her shell.

Maddie is four years old. She is a submissive dog who is house trained, good with kids 5 and up, adults cats are OK but best to not have her around kittens or little animals. She is said to have some hip dysplasia but since she has a thin build it has not been a problem. Maddie has her vet appointment on Friday and we will get RAGOM's vet opinion on this issue. Maddie's last family rescued her about 2 1/2 years ago. She is obedience trained. She is VERY gentle around my resident dog, a cocker spaniel.

Maddie really is a beauty of a dog that is looking for her forever home. Please check out her page again when I get to know more about her.
