Bernard (who we affectionately call Bernie) is a big, beautiful boy. Bernie is true to his German Sheppard breed. He is a very loyal. He looks at you with very soulful eyes and follows you everywhere!

Bernie is good with other dogs and gets along with the 4 other dogs in his foster home nicely. None of the dogs are crated during the day. Sometimes Bernie is a talker - and will make big groans! He also cries when you leave.

Despite his age, Bernie is full of life and personality. He is a happy boy and seems to be elated with small things - such as a walk or ride in the car.

Bernie is fully housebroken. Never an accident. He loves food, water and treats! He takes treats gently - and patiently waits his "turn" after the other four dogs in our home get theirs first.

Bernie has been given a blanket for a bed. In the evening - all you need to do is put the blanket down - and say "Lay down boy" and he will sleep on the blanket. Bernie does not try to jump on the furniture - however, we have not encouraged it. It is amazing that he stays down - when the other four are all over the furniture!

Bernie is a great dog and will be a wonderful addition to the right home. If you love to hang out with a dog - and go for rides with one - then Bernie may be the boy for you.
