Rascal

Rascal is a 2 year old Malinois x pit-bull mix. He loves to play fetch and tug, he is a bit timid/scared of other people but has not been aggressive towards others. He does well with our female dogs but doesn't get along with our male dogs. Rascal is an active dog but also entertains himself for hours with most chew toys.
