Need good home for Dallas. He’s 5 years old. He was purchased with a health guarantee from a reputable breeder in Texas. He’s a “straight back” GSD that has never had any hip or bone issues. He's never had any medical problems. He’s big, obedient, has a good temperament and good with children and dogs of all sizes. He’s fully socialized. He likes walks and playtime. He would be a great addition as a pet and protector for someone who loves dogs.
