As with all mals she will need some further continued training and socializing throughout her younger years. She does well in doggy daycare environments, playing with all the other dogs until they are all exhausted. She is used to longer walks and exercise to maintain her balance. She does well under pressure, keeping her cool. She was genetically tested and the results are: Malinois (70%) German Shepherd (30%). She was originally found roaming the streets as a stray in Phoenix, her foster family was unable to locate her original home. Her foster family tried to adopt her initially but she has a little too much energy for their hosehold with cats. It is reccomended due to the higher levels of prey drive that the adoptive family not have cats or small animals (chickes, rabbits, etc.). Gabby gets along with the foster's 4 year old daughter, but due to the higher energy levles of Gabby older children would be more ideal.
