I bought Atlas spontaneously in Georgia with his brother Zeus. They are both Dutch Shepard, Belgian malinois mix. They are very playful and loving. Both are potty trained and crate trained. Atlas is food driven and very cuddly. He was born October 2023 and is up to date on shots. I will include collars and leashes along with training E collar and a large kennel. Atlas is great on leash and would be great for an active person. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
