Meet Jacob, a young Dutch Shepherd mix who is as smart as he is striking. 🐾 Like many of his breed, King is a bit of a "thinker" he can be fearful in new situations and is slow to open up to strangers. He prefers to observe from the sidelines until he knows he's safe, but once that trust is earned, you have a partner for life. 🛡️ True to his heritage, Jacob is a high-energy athlete who thrives on having a job to do. 🏃‍♂️ He is incredibly intelligent and needs plenty of mental stimulation to keep his sharp mind occupied. Whether it's puzzle toys, nose work, or hiking, King is ready to put in the work-he just needs a patient, experienced handler to help him navigate the world with confidence. 🌳 Primary Color: Brindle Weight: 78lbs Age: 1yrs 10mths 1wks
