About Martin

Martin is a handsome young man, about one year old and weighing around 75 pounds. He appears to be a German Shepherd / Malinois mix, boasting the sharp mind, athletic build, and a deep desire to work and connect that are characteristic of both breeds.

This is a dog who truly thrives when he has a purpose. Martin loves to learn, enjoys training, and responds beautifully to guidance. He is eager, focused, and incredibly rewarding to work with. With the right person, he will become an exceptional companion. Martin gets along with other dogs, though he will benefit from guidance and proper introductions as he continues to learn his manners. Martin is not just a dog — he’s a partner in the making!

Ideal Home

Martin would do best with an experienced owner who understands working breeds and can provide structure, consistency, and continued training.

Ongoing Health

Martin is neutered and vaccinated.

Training & Support

He has a strong personality and, like many young dogs with drive, he can get a little carried away at times — but he is very trainable and wants to do the right thing. Continued training and guidance will set him up for success.
