Marla von Melle is a stunning 2 year old German Shepherd who walks by your side when on leash, enjoying a gentle pat on the head when you stop at intersections. This demure damsel is actually quite social, wagging her tail and eventually nudging your hand with her head once she becomes comfortable. We think she may be housebroken. In canine playgroups Marla is a peacemaker: confident and friendly with most dogs and tolerant of the pushy types, from whom she just walks away.
