Wags is a one-year-old, 45 lb. Shepherd-Corgi mix with a personality as unique as his looks! With the face of a German Shepherd, the short legs of a Corgi, and a stunning coat reminiscent of an Irish Setter, Wags is a truly one-of-a-kind pup.
At just a year old, Wags still has puppy energy, meaning he gets the zoomies a couple of times a day and loves chasing his tennis ball, chewing on toys, and keeping busy with bones. But don’t be fooled—after playtime, he’s all about snuggles and affection! He’s also quite the climber, so his future family should be prepared for a little extra adventure.
Wags is house-trained and will go to the door or get restless when he needs to go outside. He has an impressive ability to hold it for a long time, making him a great fit for a family with a regular schedule. He is also crate-trained and will voluntarily go to his crate when he needs alone time. However, if left inside for too long without something to chew on, he may decide his bed looks like a fun toy!
Wags has been around kids 10 and under with no issues, though he does get excited and sometimes jumps, which could be a bit much for very small children. Like many young dogs, he occasionally gives "puppy nips," but he’s learning and improving every day. He currently lives with a 10-year-old female dog and a 4-year-old cat and does well with both! He loves to play with the cat, and if he gets too rough, she lets him know with a quick swat—he always respects her boundaries.
While Wags does not require a fenced yard, he would love one to run and play in. As long as he gets regular walks and exercise, he’ll be a happy pup. He’s also a great little watchdog, barking when something is outside but never excessively.
If you're looking for a fun, loving, and playful companion who will keep you entertained with zoomies and shower you with cuddles, Wags might just be the perfect match! Contact us today to meet this wonderful boy
