Meet Barney, an adorable Shepherd mix boy that will be a heartbreaker and an athlete! He will need a family that will stay one step ahead of him. He will be active and probably too smart for his own good. He will want to have plenty of fun challenges by exercising, socializing and consistent puppy training. Currently, he's growing like a sprout but is still really a young pup that wants all of the love and guidance to blossom!
