My mama was a purebred German Shepherd!

Meet Polly!
- Super smart, cuddly, and sweet
- Very passive and wonderful with every other dog she has met.
- Perfect in the crate
- Walking well on the leash
- Knows commands: "sit," "paw," "focus," and "leave it"
- Treat-motivated
- Learning to control instinct to chase, doing well with "leave it" command
- Enjoys playing fetch with tennis ball, fetching and returning it more than 90% of the time.

As a puppy, I am required to go to training within 90 days of my adoption with a certified trainer.

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.
