Mellbe is a fun loving, energetic 1 year old. She loves to cuddle and have her belly rubbed any chance she can get. As all shepherds, she needs exercise, mental and physical. She loves to play with other dogs and is working on tricks. She wants to please. Mellbe would love a running partner, friend, and snuggle buddy! She thrives on structure and would benefit from training classes, maybe even agility down the road. Mellbe was left in a kennel for most of her days at her previous owner. Because of this she is vocal when first put in but will sleep through the night. We have had her in a pro empire/ alcatrazz type kennel--very heavy duty because she can escape the others.
She is most confident when with other dogs; she is young and still learning boundaries on respectful play so a playful or patient dog would be best. Not recommending cats please as she likes to chase. I would also say no small children just because of her high energy and she may bowl them over; she did live with a 3 year old with no incidents.
