Meet Martha

Martha’s farther is a Belgian malinois. Her mother is a German shepherd X Cane Corso and she was gifted into our care as the result of an unplanned litter. Not just your average pet, both her parents were working dogs.

Martha truly embodies the best of all the breeds in her mix: razor-sharp, super energetic, and always ready for action. She is looking for owners ready to take the bull by the horns and channel her determination, intelligence, and endless motivation and energy into positive and purposeful outlets. A very active lifestyle is a must, and she will need to be provided a variety of hobbies as she ages.

Don’t be fooled into thinking Martha is all business. She also has a softer side and (between puppy mouthing), enjoys some hands on fuss and attention.

Martha is a very strong character when among her littermates. If living with another dog, this would need to be a large, confident male who has a firm but fair approach. Due to her age, she will need lower leaving hours to begin with and a home away from the inner city would be ideal. New owners will need to have owned dogs before and be able to demonstrate a good understanding of working shepherds and their needs.
