About Lucy JCAC

Lucy is a 1-year-old German Shepherd/Malinois/Cattle Dog mix with everything you want in a sharp, loyal pup—deep intelligence, unstinting devotion, and real trainability. She was found on a rural road, but it hasn’t shaken her loyalty toward people, especially men. Lucy attaches hard and fast to her chosen person and has already been professionally trained on basic commands and leash manners. She enjoys car rides, loves water, and is both crate- and house-trained. Lucy tends to be wary around other dogs, so she’ll thrive either as an only dog or with a confident, calm canine companion. She needs an owner with experience handling high-drive herding breeds—someone ready to keep her mentally challenged and on a routine. While she’s playful and eager to learn, she does have some separation anxiety, so she’ll need structure and steady attention. Give Lucy a sense of purpose and she’ll give you everything she has.
