Additional Info: Luffy is a striking pup who is full of potential. While he’s a young guy, he’s already mastered the basics: he is both house trained and crate trained. He rides like a pro in the car and isn't destructive in the home. Luffy is great with men and women, but he is firm about no children.
He has high energy and can be a flight risk, so a secure spot to burn off steam is essential.
He does show some food aggression, so his new family should be experienced or willing to work on positive reinforcement training.
If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion and have experience with Shepherd breeds, Luffy might be your perfect match!
