About Shae

Shae is a feisty young Belgian Shepherd / Malinois who came in with her litter due to her previous owner’s changes in circumstance. Like many Malinois, she loves to play rough, frequently kicking off the action with bigger dogs and showing no fear during wrestling matches. She does tend to nip when excited and has a habit of defending any food dish—sometimes even if it isn’t hers. She will also try to climb fences if she’s motivated. Shae gravitates toward independence and often heads in her own direction during leash walks, showing the classic bold curiosity of her breed. While she responds politely during new introductions to dogs and people, those Malinois instincts mean experience with the breed is a must. Grooming goes well as long as she feels safe. Nighttime crate training is established, with no messes for a solid eight hours. If you’re familiar with Malinois quirks and ready for a small but determined companion, Shae might fit right in.
