Grimm is a West German show line boy, and his drive is medi-ochre. He isn't "go go go" all day, but he enjoys DOING things (hiking, walks, playing with Gidget in the backyard, etc.) but he doesn't HAVE to be doing something. He's content sleeping in front of the fireplace and just lounging around, too. He is currently 23 months old (birthday on Jan. 7th,) and when he turned 13 mths or so, he completely mellowed out and outgrew puppydom.

He is such a well-mannered boy, but he came from well-mannered and even-tempered parents, too. He has some minor conformation flaws which is why we are neutering him in January (Happy Birthday, Grimm!) but other than that (which is breeding-specific) he is a great boy.

If you're looking for a dog that doesn't HAVE to work but still likes to do things and isn't go-go-go all the time, look at well-bred West German show line dogs.
