Monty von Mauta is a very handsome 3 year old German Shepherd. This big boy with the racing stripes on his shoulders is always ready to go. He is eager to get out on his walks and sometimes gets a little ahead of you, but he listens well to corrections and then will walk and even run with you for a few miles. Although Monty can be quite active, he also appreciates downtime with his people, especially if there are belly rubs involved. He just lies down next to you and enjoys an all-over massage. Around other dogs, he is quite confident and has no problem establishing boundaries when another dog gets too pushy with him. However, he does well with friendly, mellow dogs both on and off leash. Monty is a smart boy; he knows his sit and may even be housebroken. That’s why he’s ready to head off into a home that appreciates his sweet demeanor and will use his willingness to learn by teaching him new skills.
