Cashew - Belgian Shepherd Malinois and Dutch Shepherd Dog for Adoption in San Diego, California

Cashew is one of several female puppies from a Lancaster shelter litter. The litter was mostly brindle Dutchie puppies, but there were two fawn girls that looked like Mals, so we believe she's a Belgian Malinois x Dutch Shepherd mix. She's smart, athletic, fun, confident and playful, so she definitely fits the breeds.

She is still a puppy, so she's got to figure things out still, including kids, but is young enough and eager to learn how to navigate everything. For now we are being cautious about very young kids, but with proper introductions she'll do well in any home, because she's great with people and dogs. And she's up for anything, so if you're looking for a sweet sassy blond Mal x Dutchie, here she is!
