My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lou is a smart, affectionate Malinois/Dutch Shepherd–type with a big heart and a VERY bright mind. This handsome boy absolutely leans in for affection, enjoys being close to his people, and has a gentle, thoughtful way about him that really stands out.

Lou loves treats and takes them politely, walks well on a leash, and already knows sit and down — including transitioning smoothly from a down to a sit when asked. His intelligence and eagerness to engage make him a joy to work with.

In playgroup, Lou has shown himself to be social, playful, and an easy greeter. He can get a little enthusiastic during play (nothing unusual for a working-breed dog), but he reads other dogs well and responds appropriately. He did great with calm dogs, handled high-energy greetings without reacting, and showed excellent manners when another dog fully submitted. He also does well at fence greetings with both male and female dogs.

Lou is best suited for an experienced working-breed home so he can continue to thrive and shine. In return, you’ll get a deeply affectionate, loyal companion who truly wants to connect with his person. All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and microchipped.

Age: 2–6 years
Weight: 58 lbs
