He loves running around and is learning the ropes of puppy life. He's easy to walk and redirect. He understands sit, down, and come commands. Heâs working on stay, wait, and paw as well as learning hand signals for the same commands. His temperament is mild, affectionate, and curiousâhe's just figuring out life and needs a patient human to help him learn basic manners, engagement, and social skills. He's a loyal, goofy ball of love, ready to grow into a fantastic companion. He would thrive with an older dog sibling to teach him the ways of the world and show him how to be the best puppy ever. Balsam is all about fun, exploration, and friendship, and his massive paws are really just a clue to the even bigger heart inside. If you're looking for a playful, loving, and slightly clumsy puppy with a heart as big as his paws, Balsam's your boy! To make an appointment to meet this lover boy, please to to yoloshelter/adopt.

Breed overview
Holland Shepherd
A.K.A.: Dutch Shepherd, Dutchie, Hollandse Herder, Herder
Overview:
The Hollandse Herdershond, or Dutch Shepherd, is a versatile and intelligent breed originating from the Netherlands, where they were traditionally used by shepherds and farmers for herding and guarding livestock. Physically, they are a medium-sized dog with a powerful, muscular build, typically weighing between 50-70 pounds and standing 21-25 inches tall. Their coats come in three varieties: short-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired, all displaying the breed's distinctive brindle pattern in shades of gold or silver. Temperamentally, Dutch Shepherds are known for their strong work ethic, loyalty, and unwavering devotion to their families. They are highly trainable and excel in various dog sports like obedience, agility, and protection work. While generally good with children, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them better suited for active families with experience in dog ownership, rather than first-time owners or those in apartment settings. Like many active breeds, they can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term health.
