we think he’s belgian mal/husky/gsd, does he look pretty spot on for that?

also, he is about 5 months old so definitely going to get bigger!

we were told by the rescue he is GSD, mal, and husky! i think they are pretty spot on but we are doing embark for fun! love him either way🩷

also, he is only about 5 months old so definitely going to be a big guy!

we rescued our boy from a bit of a dire situation and he’s honestly great! we’ve taught him sit, down, stay, lay back (don’t know if that’s a real command/the actual word for it? essentially just him laying in his back and staying still so we can clip his nails), and hopefully will teach him more tricks! hes pretty great in every other category like socialization, potty training, crate training, recall, etc. my only thing is he SUCKS at paying attention, especially when we are outside, he leash pulls like crazy and nothing seems to get his attention, no treats, toys, secluded areas, etc.

i’ve grown up with ACDs my entire life and are pretty much my only dog training experience, they have all turned out to be fantastic, smart, and socialized dogs so my expectations are usually high when it comes to training.

i’ve been doing my research like crazy in this breed since the day we got him and i’m starting to feel like i’m in over my head if i can’t get this figured out. i’m not saying i’m giving up on him/going to give him away, just asking for any tips/support you guys have to train him. thanks!

also to add, he is not fully mal, he’s also GSD and husky, so quite the dog! i know he will need a crap ton of hard work and dedication, i work from home so i feel like it works out with his needs.

sorry, another edit, he’s also only about 5 months old!
