Joker 1 yr old neutered male - GA

Fee: $250

Joker is a handsome boy with a sense of humor!

Joker is a 1-year old neutered male Malinois with a zest for life that he loves to share with people. He's a big guy – around 26" at his withers – with a great sense of humor who is just learning to be graceful after the puppy stage. Joker loves to play by tossing stuffed toys into the air, but he is known on occasion to "kill" his stuffed friends like many Belgians do. He loves to be right in the middle of any household activity with his humans. He is quite a character!

Joker is working on basic commands -- sit, down, stay and come -- right now. Because he is very food motivated, adores praise and accepts corrections, he would be excellent in an obedience or agility class. Joker rides very well crated in the car and loves to go on outdoor walks and adventures with his humans – see Joker enjoying a walk-about at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtxGERHRGOk. He needs some work on his puppy mouthiness and his leash manners, but again, with his food motivation and willingness to please, Joker will make a fun companion for those interested in dog training, especially with this intelligent breed.

He gets along with all dogs of both genders, as you can see in this video of Joker (darker face) playing with his buddy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwP0HL0An1w&feature=related. He is receptive to "dog language" and will accept their notification if he gets overly enthused in his play.

Because he is a bit too interested in cats (maybe they are a stuffed toy?), a no-cat home is necessary for Joker. Also, Joker is still learning the finer points of being graceful, so he will do best in a home without toddlers.

Joker would love to have a family or person who is familiar with the Belgian breed and interested in pursuing obedience, agility or even herding classes. He's up to date on shots, microchipped and neutered.
