He spent weeks in a high-kill shelter before making his way to the Pacific Northwest. After landing in a home that wasn't the right fit, he was entrusted to me.

Training in both English and German
Capable of forming a deep, loyal bond

We'll be starting nose work and possibly foundational tracking, and he has the potential to go in multiple working or sport directions.
