Balto is a pure bred German Shepherd with a spectacular personality and stellar obedience. Balto is the oldest of my two German Shepherds. His younger brother is Drako and older brother is Stark. He comes from an amazing breeder and is sound in health and temperament. He is not afraid of anything and goes along for the ride! Show him a new command and he picks it up in seconds. He is also being trained in the sport of IGP. He follows handler off leash and knows many commands at a distance. He has mastered all basic commands sit, down, stay, come, focus, drop it and leave it. He also applies these commands when in public and will melt at your feet if you give him affection. He knows how to backup, spin both ways, give both paws, speak, go around, orbit, marker trained and in the process of learning a lot more! Balto loves all people, kids, dogs and small animals. He lives with cats, birds, rabbits, geckos and other dogs! He has his novice trick title. Balto is also trained in the sport of dock diving and absolutely loves the water. Balto is nothing short of a sweetheart. Balto also has travelled all over the East Coast. He is a perfect gentleman wherever we go and no adventure or terrain is too much for him! Nothing phases him and he's ready for action!
