*Willow grew very tall, very quickly as a young puppy. As an 8 week old, she discovered she could scale a baby gate with ease on the way up! However, being 8 weeks old, she wasn’t so graceful on the way down landing flat on her front every time. We referred to this as her “Spider Monkey” phase and continued daily until I was able to get her to break the habit, which took time because to her it was FUN! Due to her rapid growth and daily Spider Monkey tumbles at such a young age and the fact it is unilateral, we have decided not to wash Willow from our program. Simply said, I am comfortable standing behind my bitch, I truly feel this is an injury related incident and is not genetic. Her breeder and co owner feels the same as I do standing behind Willow as well. Willow has a phenomenal, bomb proof temperament, truly the best temperament of all 29 German Shepherds I have under my belt. As paramount as temperament is in the breed, it would be a true travesty to wash her from the gene pool.
