Tia Mia The Definition is a truly affectionate German Shepherd/Australian Shepherd mix who is happiest when soaking up attention. She’s a big fan of belly rubs, ear scratches, and will happily lean her whole body into you for more love. There’s no such thing as too much affection for her—she melts at every kind gesture. Calm and tolerant, Tia handles everything from having her paws touched to meeting new friends, and she’s gentle about advocating for her boundaries with other dogs. Shepherd lovers will recognize her bouncy, mouthy, but well-mannered style of play. While she enjoys dog companions and does best with friendly, moderately playful pups, Tia’s just as content as the only pet, focusing all her love on her family. Smart and eager to please, Tia quickly picks up new commands and already knows how to sit. She’s treat-motivated, housetrained, and crate trained, and walks fairly well on a leash, only pulling a little from excitement. Tia gets along well with other dogs, has been respectful toward cats, and is good with children. Neighborhood walks, backyard sunbathing, or afternoon lounging—she’s up for it all. If you like to host friends, Tia will greet everyone with charm, but is equally satisfied relaxing quietly by your side. She’ll thrive in a semi-active household that enjoys giving attention as much as she enjoys receiving it. Tia is ready for adventure, loyal friendship, and lots of love. Ready to fall in love?
