DESCRIPTION
Beautiful, smiling Masha!! This is a bright, attention seeking, affectionate, loyal and loving companion!
Masha is truly delightful and a willing and enthusiastic companion. A great family dog, or sidekick, she is bright and alert and willing to go the extra mile to please you!. Praise or treats work for her, she's there to connect and seeks out play and companionship...and a lap if allowed!
Athletic, and eager to learn, to be loved and to participate in new things. She may need an initial slow approach to some urban things but out in nature she'll prove a great hiking and travel buddy. At 55 pounds she's got stamina for almost anything but can also curl up in a ball and chill out beside you.
Currently at the Milo Sanctuary still hanging out with her puppies - she'd love to meet you! Spay day is May 15!
ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
