Come meet our friend Payton! This high energy fellow loves people and having a good time all around. Payton does just fine with dogs closer to his size. We have small dog tested him and he failed so no small animals for him in his new household. However, his roommate in boarding is a female shepherd and they get along just fine.

Payton hasn't had any training but he's eager to learn and surprisingly, walks extremely well on a leash for as little time as he has been on one. He will definitely need someone who wants to work on obedience and give Payton a job. Did we mention high energy? This guy would dive off the high dive if given a chance. He would be an awesome running and hiking partner - no sedentary life for this guy.

He has met all kinds of people at events - all ages, including kids, and he is extremely friendly and exuberant about new experiences.

If you've had shepherds before, don't overlook this classic black and tan model.
