Story
Hi there. I am rehoming Brutus, my purebred Belgian Malinois. He is very sweet and would be happy to cuddle up next to you. He matches whatever energy level you have. When we are not home he has free range of the house and does not damage anything. He is very watchful. He is good with my daughter, but does not have much experience with other kids. He has had no exposure to other animals aside from our other dog. He loves to play fetch and is extremely food and toy motivated without aggression. He is not leash trained, but has trained easily in the past. Brutus is trying to be the dominant dog out of our two dogs and our older, more established, female is not about it. He has strong herding instincts and does understand when to leave her alone. She has attacked him multiple time which has lead to multiple trips to the vet with multiple recoveries. It is not safe to have them together unsupervised. He does have an idiopathic seizure condition that is completely by medication.
