Ebony prefers a home with someone who knows this breed or is at least familiar with shepherds—in short, someone who appreciates her intelligence and wants to keep her engaged. She enjoys a daily walk, picks up new routines quickly, and is crate trained. Affectionate and reliably well-mannered on the leash, she’s spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
