Do you want to give an amazing Malinois a wonderful home? Well, this sweet pup is so deserving and just waiting for you to choose her. Brinkley has lived her whole life moving from place to place, and since entering foster, she’s enjoyed stability, love, healthy and consistent play, training, and meals. In a short time, she’s gone from unsure and clueless of what to do with a ball, to asserting herself to exactly what she wants to do at play. She learns quickly, has a ton of personality, and you’ll get never ending comic relief from her wonderful silliness.
Brinkley is the cutest lightning bolt you’ll ever meet. She has demonstrated in a very short time that given some love, attention, and the human management of a chuck it, she will learn whatever you need her to. She is eager, sweet, and loves to play. Brinkley is exceptionally smart, and she will challenge you to a healthy extent. She’s hoping for a disciplined human to give her a job and hold her accountable. She is a blast to enjoy play time; silly, explosive, and loves to chase, even if you’re a goose flying at 500 feet or a 737 at 5000! Once you are done playing, she’ll willingly chill out and enjoy your company with some relaxed time as well. Just make sure to set some boundaries, and she’ll happily follow your lead.
Brinkley is cautious of other dogs at first, but once called off she refocuses. She will need slow and controlled introductions like any dog. She is friendly with adults and teenagers and will cover new people in kisses. Brinkley rides well in the car, is skeptical; but well-mannered at the vet’s office, and will alert to loud noises, but settles when asked. She
willingly enters her crate with anticipation of food or a treat, and while she likes to customize her blankets, and stuffies, she doesn’t chew things she’s not supposed to. Aside from the occasional counter surfing, her house manners are impeccable.
This super smart girl has a huge desire to please, has mastered her basic skills, is working on more advanced ones. Rumor has it she’s also studying for the WA State Bar Exam in her down time. Her favorite things in life are her person followed closely by her ball. Her biggest motivators for training are her ball, Tillamook Sharp cheddar cheese, and affection. #YouHadMeAtCheese
Brinkley is looking for an active handler who will continue her training and let her join in as many outdoor adventures as possible. She thrives on structure, clear boundaries, and plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Are you looking for a pup smart enough to help you battle a big court case? Athletic and agile enough to be a champion Formula One Driver for McLaren Racing by day and an aerial yoga instructor by night? One to keep you laughing when they take flight in the most contorted silly positions? Well, look no further than Brinkley. Hurry though, when she’s impatient, she just might jump up to give you a kiss - but only if you take too long.
