Marlena
Meet Marlena! She is one of our exclusive German Shepherds, from a premium line bred for exceptional temperament, intelligence, and striking beauty. With her sleek solid black coat and dark, expressive eyes, she's the kind of dog which turns heads while possessing the mind and drive the German Shepherd breed is famous for.
She is naturally people-focused and thrives on interaction. She has excellent working drive, a quick mind, and an eagerness to learn which will make training both rewarding and enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a loyal adventure partner, a dog to excel in obedience or sport, or a devoted family companion that wants to be involved in everything you do, she has the confidence and willingness to please which make exceptional German Shepherds stand apart. She will have completed an ENS program, daily confidence-building exercises, sound desensitization, and extensive socialization with children, adults, and other animals. She'll also be well on her way with potty training and sleeping 5–7 hours through the night in her crate, giving your family a head start most breeders simply don't offer. Marlena comes with a microchip and AKC registration papers. If you're searching for a German Shepherd with beauty, brains, and the drive to become something truly special, she is being raised to become more than a pet, she's being prepared to become your loyal partner for life!
***Dogs may change color naturally as they mature due to many factors such as genetics, hair type, losing puppy fur and changing to the adult coat, pigmentation, hormonal changes, seasonal changes, shaving, etc. Color changes are expected and can occur quickly and at any time. We cannot guarantee a dog's permanent coat color for these reasons.
