Story
Luffy is two years old. He was born 25 November 2021 in California. His mother was an Alaskan Malamute and his father a German Shepherd. He needs someone who can give him lots of play time. He is good with kids but due to his size it is easy for him to accidentally knock over smaller kids when playing. He is good with other dogs. We have a pug that tolerates him and my sisters huskies often come over for play dates. Would not recommend him with cats or other small animals. He is kennel trained but does have separation anxiety sometimes so he needs a strong kennel otherwise it will not hold him. He needs strong chew toys and he loves playing fetch. He just does not always want to drop the ball after fetching. I will be also providing the kennel he uses as well as his toys and whatever food I have on hand. He is up to date on his rabies vaccination.
