riggs (cl)

[DogName] is a COURTESY LISTING available for private adoption -- for more information, please contact the owner listed below. DO NOT apply through the GSRA website as this dog and owner are not affiliated with GSRA. Riggs is an 8-year-old German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix with the energy and intelligence of a true working dog. He thrives with an active owner who enjoys the outdoors and wants a loyal companion for everyday adventures. Riggs loves fetch, especially frisbee, and he is happiest when he can run, swim, and explore. He loves the water and will jump in whenever he gets the chance. Car rides make him just as happy, particularly when the window is down and he can feel the wind. If you enjoy hikes, lake days, or simply being outside, Riggs will gladly go wherever you go. He has excellent training and knows a long list of commands including sit, down, stay, place, leave it, out, shake, come, heel, through, and middle. He walks well on a leash and responds to structure and direction. Riggs will do best as the only dog in an adult household where someone can dedicate time and energy to him. He has lived peacefully with dogs he has known since puppyhood, but he can be reactive around unfamiliar dogs. He may also react if unknown people approach his space while he is on leash. Health wise, Riggs remains strong and active. Both CCLs were surgically repaired by an orthopedic surgeon, and he shows no signs of hip dysplasia or other ongoing issues. Riggs bonds deeply with his person. In the right home, he will reward someone with an incredibly loyal companion who is smart, trained, and always ready for the next adventure.
