Cain Belgian Shepherd / Malinois Mix Vallejo, CA

Cain is an 8 month old Belgian Malinois who was recently brought into the Humane Society of the North Bay in Vallejo as a stray. He weighs about 52 lbs. and appears to be in good health.

Cain is a good-natured, intelligent boy. He meets new people with ease, and does not shy away from strangers. While he can be jumpy and a little mouthy, he is very responsive to correction and his behavior improves when he is moved into a more relaxed environment.

He has tested well with other dogs and enjoys a good game of chase with a little gentle wrestling on the side. He shows interest in cats but he has not been fully tested in that area. Cain enjoys going on walks but could benefit from some leash training. If his human companion dawdles he has been known to tug on his leash to get his handler's attention. Fortunately, Cain is smart and food-motivated, so training should be a breeze. He has already well on his way to mastering simple commands like "sit" and "come".

As a young and active pup, Cain would do best with someone who could provide him the physical and mental stimulation he needs to thrive. Malinois are highly intelligent, active dogs that require a big training and exercise commitment. Without those needs met, the breed will become destructive, nervous, and naughty. But with the right handler, Cain will definitely earn his "good boy" badge. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 49lbs Age: 0yrs 11mths 2wks Animal has been Neutered
