She may not look like a traditional Shepherd - because she's a Malinois mix with all the brains and drive to match. This girl is incredibly smart, highly food motivated, crate trained, and potty trained. She's working on leash manners and thrives with structure, training, and having a job. Best Fit: No cats or small animals (high prey drive) Older kids recommended (playful, mouthy, can be rambunctious) Active home with a yard or outdoor lifestyle Experienced owner, ideally familiar with Malinois traits She loves her current dog pack but can be reactive meeting new dogs, so proper introductions and leadership are important. No aggression or resource guarding observed. She's not a couch potato - she's an athletic, focused, working-minded girl ready to bond deeply with someone who understands her drive and will help her shine.
