Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). If wide open dogs fit your life style, you might be ready for this energetic and SMART boy! In fact, is he too smart for you? He is still learning that appropriate house manners don't include baying across two counties, (well, at least two lanes of traffic!) but he would be the most awesome patrolman ever, and if law enforcement was his calling, he'd sound the alarm in a heartbeat. What we are saying, in other words, is that Loki has a big voice, and he is not afraid to use it. We are not sure what his background has been, as there were two sides to it, and they were mutually exclusive. But what we do know is that he has big feelings when he sees other dogs, and he wants to play! He was a perfect match to Sunny this week, and we hope we can let them have time again in the playyard, since they did so well together! Slim and slight in build, we are sure now that Loki is a Belgian Mal mix, and can only guess as to the "mix" part. He is so alive, so happy to have human friends, and he walks beautifully on leash! You would never guess it would be that way, so it has been a breath of fresh air to witness him walking with volunteers, as well as playing with Sunny. Our hearts are bursting with happiness, indeed! We are hoping the perfect active home will come along and we are doing all we can to promote it! Come visit!

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
