My story

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

Finn is an affectionate nearly 2-year-old German Shepherd × Australian Shepherd who thrives on human interaction. He’s chatty, sociable, and loves attention. Training takes a bit of patience and repetition, but he responds well with consistent, positive methods.

Personality and behavior
• Temperament: Affectionate, people-focused, talkative
• Energy: Moderate to high — enjoys play, walks, and interactive time with humans
• Training style: Learns with patience; benefits from short, consistent sessions and positive reinforcement
• Vocalization: Likes to “talk” and use his voice to engage with people
• Social needs: Craves companionship and regular interaction

Ideal home
• Someone or a family who can provide lots of human time, engagement, and consistent training
• Active household that can offer daily mental stimulation and exercise
• Best with an adopter prepared for gentle, patient training rather than quick fixes

Care notes
• Short, frequent training sessions with rewards work best; avoid long repetitive drills
• Daily walks, play, and enrichment toys will help burn energy and keep him focused
• Positive reinforcement, clear boundaries, and predictable routine improve progress
