Beretta is a 3-Year-Old Dutch Shepherd/German Shepherd Mix.
She is a loyal, intelligent, and high-energy girl who needs room to run and a job to do. She spent her early years on a large property but due to a recent move and a busy family life, we can no longer give her the space and time she deserves.
She’s protective, alert, and will bark at unfamiliar people or noises. She’s great with kids (has grown up with our three) but, like any dog, prefers gentle handling. Beretta loves going on runs and would thrive with an experienced owner who understands working breeds.
She’s happiest with space to roam and someone who can keep her mentally and physically active. A large yard, farm, or active lifestyle would be ideal.
We would like to ensure that she goes to the right owner as she was a special part of our family and want only the best for her and her needs.
