Andretti's Story

Meet Andretti a/k/a Blaze. His mother was a purebred Malinois, his father a purebred white German Shepherd. He is just under a year old. He was adopted on August 29, 2025 as a little puppy. He was returned because his owner was too soft with him and he would dominate her and she feared for her young grandchild. He needs a strong owner with experience with the Malinois breed. He is very loving, curious, energetic and highly intelligent. He was very much loved. He learns very quickly, but will want to move on to the next new game, training session, or learning experience.   Once he gets it, he gets it. He knows the Commands of Place, Sit, Lay Down, Bed and Come.  He loves to run, fetch (needs work on release), and chew elk antlers, and marrow bones from the butcher.   He warms up to new people very quickly.  He does get very excited when someone comes to visit, but settles pretty quickly.  He loves to be around people; especially 'His People.'  <br/> His demeanor is very sweet and laid back when playtime is done.  He loves his cuddles a going walks. He is not a fan of playing in the afternoon sun.  He prefers the coolness and less brightness of the morning, and when the sun is starting to set.   <br/>He knows when it is bedtime; usually around 9:00-9:30 and will sometimes put himself to bed.  He has not slept in a crate since he was 6 months old.  He loves his bed.  Once he goes to bed for the night, he doesn't get up and roam around.  He has never chewed furniture or destroyed anything inside the house.  He has, however, chewed up a few things he shouldn't have outside, ie..gutter extension, bushes, and he is a digger. BUT he is a puppy!!!  <br/>He needs a lot of structure, busy work, and A LOT OF LOVE! He can be very SASSY, as in talking back, like teenagers do when they don't want to do what you're telling them.  Adopter would I tell him  'Customer Service is closed right now, Sir,  please lodge your complaint in the morning'. He quiets down really quickly.  He just likes making his opinion known.<br/>He is Highly Trainable!!!!! He is an incredible dog, a magnificent pet, and a loving companion.<br/>I did forget to add that he has a paper towel, tissue and toilet paper fettish. He is located in Summerville.
