Meet Barnum (Barney) a one year old loveable, goofy, high energy neutered Shepherd mix (Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd).

This handsome boys characteristic move is flopping at your feet for belly rubs.  As befits his breed, Barney is extremely smart, fast to learn commands, and attentive to his human. He has endless energy, and would be a great fit for an active family or individual that has experience with and knows what to expect with the breed. Great on a leash, but has a strong prey drive, so if he sees a cat, be ready to keep him on a close reign. Therefore, Barney would do best in a home with no small animals and likely no small breed dogs.

However, he loves his human and has done extremely well with a loving child of 9. He just wants to please and be around his people. Attentive to correction and responds to a very light touch.  Because of his energy level, he's not for every dog. He has been playing well with a large breed active female, but when she tires out, he keeps going and starts to get on her nerves. For that reason, he may do best in a one-dog home, unless with another high energy large breed, such as another Malinois.

Because of his intelligence and energy, Barney would excel with a handler that can focus his talents on performing a job, learning and executing challenging commands, so that his energies are not spent on self-destructive and/or property-destroying activities.

Barney is a winner and truly a find for the right person who can appreciate and utilize all that he brings to the table. And he LOVES water! On a warm day, give him a kiddie pool and he jumps in it, runs through it and then just plops down in it.
