Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd Mix Puppy
Alix is a handsome and sweet Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix puppy who is ready to find his forever home. We know his mom is a Malinois, and while we do not have information on dad, Alix is already showing many of the traits common to working breeds. He is intelligent, affectionate, and observant and always ready for an adventure.
Alix is doing well with crate training and is learning a consistent daily routine. While he may be on the calmer side, he is still an energetic puppy who will thrive in a home that understands the mental and physical needs of Malinois and Shepherd-type dogs. These breeds are highly intelligent and sensitive, and Alix will do best with a committed, breed-knowledgeable adopter who is prepared to continue training and provide appropriate structure and enrichment.
Alix is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives.
Adoption Fee:
$250 local (Texas)
$550 out of state (includes transport)
Alix is looking for a dedicated home that understands the commitment involved in raising a working-breed mix and is ready to invest in him for life.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
