Chios von Cologne is a handsome 2 year old German shepherd having a mid-to-high energy level and an A+ degree of intelligence.  He is confident and alert on his walks, often causing others to do a double-take as they pass by. Chios absolutely loves going on car rides and chasing after balls on his monthly hikes with the Westside pack. He likes being brushed and savors a good belly rub. Once he knows you, he can be very playful and, if you hold out your hand, will give you his paw as a sign of trust.  Chios is currently attending Westside’s Urban Training program and is progressing well. This smart boy knows some commands and, because he is easily motivated by food, he is capable of learning much more.  Given his confident nature, Chios can become reactive towards other dogs when they size him up. He would excel under the guidance and leadership of an experienced shepherd owner who provides a balance of exercise, discipline, training and respect. Chios would love to be in a home with active adults. In return, he will bond rapidly and give you his upmost loyalty a thousand times over.
