Chewy

My story

Meet Chewy, a fur missile ready to rocket his way into your heart.  Chewy is a 1 year old German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois with raw talent to spare, just waiting to be polished into a shining star by a new partner in crime! Or rather, a partner in crime prevention.  Chewy could excel at many jobs, with a possible future in search & rescue, police work, scent detection, or protection sports. He is currently taking Nosework classes with Dierdra McElroy at All Dogs Sport Park and loving it. He has also dipped his toes into dock diving and it's safe to say he's a fan!  Chewy has high prey drive, high toy drive, and med-high food drive. He is crate and ecollar trained, has had extensive obedience, body awareness, and fitness training, but still needs more finesse and work on distractions. He's a quick study and a very happy boy to work for his handler.  Chewy has some reactivity towards strangers, human and canine, as well as wheeled equipment and machinery. Despite this, Chewy has shown that he can successfully integrate into environments with new people and dogs with a little patience. He loves to play with his older Malinois sister (when she feels like humoring his boundless energy and enthusiasm) and knows to leave the senior dog in his home alone. Chewy will not share his toys with other dogs, but he's quite happy to give them up to his human.  Chewy is not a good fit for a pet home and is currently available for adoption to a competitive sport or career working dog home.  ##2379477##
