My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet this lovable duo of bonded shepherds, the perfect mix of goofy, sweet, and smart. Ben and Elka are inseparable and bring out the best in each other, whether they're playing in the yard or snuggling up after a long day. They have just the right amount of energy to keep you on your toes, but they're equally happy to settle in for some affectionate cuddle time. Their intelligence shines through in everything they do, making them quick learners and eager to please. If you're looking for a pair of loyal, fun-loving companions, Ben and Elka are ready to fill your home with love and laughter!
