Looking for a Shepherd with all the traditional traits in a smaller manageable size?  Meet Arlo,  he is approx 2 years  old and weighs 46 lbs.  He is very athletic, agile, quick, and loves to play with our other dogs.   He is very affectionate,  eager to please, intelligent,  and has had good training.   Like all young adults his excitement level sometimes exceeds his training level and he jumps for joy seeing his person, but responds well to “off” and “sit” till he regains control.  He has expressed interest in our cats, but has not tried to attack them.  Dog savy cats that stand their ground would  be OK  with him.
 

He rides  great in the car, protests only mildly when put into his crate especially if he feels he is being left out of a family activity, is house trained and sleeps well through the night.. 

His ideal adopter would be an active family that takes their dog with them everywhere, and is willing to continue his training and continue to challenge him.  Hikes, runs, hanging around outside, snuggles on the couch, he is all in.  Did I mention he is very affectionate.

interested approved adopters can contact me at rodschlemm@gmail.com to learn more about this delightful boy.
