If you're lucky enough to meet Derby, watch out ... he might just lick you to death! Lover of giving kisses, Derby is a hearty, medium-size Shepherd who absolutely adores kids (he can get a little exuberant with his affection though so grade-school children or older would probably be best). Though Derby hasn't been introduced to small animals, he's been non-reactive around them at adoption events so it's entirely possible. We know he's great with other large dogs as he lives with a large pack in his foster home. No longer an adolescent but far from old boy status, Derby has plenty of good years ahead of him to spend with a deserving family.
