Meet Phillip, our charming blue merle male Miniature American Shepherd! Phillip is a people-lover with a friendly, paws-on greeting style. He's got medium motivation, meaning he’s eager to work with you but can occasionally get a little distracted by his surroundings. His energy level is just right—he keeps a steady, medium pace, making him a great companion for an active but balanced lifestyle.
Phillip’s prey drive is low to medium. He'll follow toys and mouth them, but don’t expect him to tug or shake them. His high human focus makes him an excellent family dog, as he loves to be around people. When it comes to other dogs, Phillip is polite and neutral, making him non-confrontational and easy to integrate into a multi-pet household.
With medium confidence, Phillip is always up for trying new things in new places, although he might take a brief pause to assess. He’s not easily phased, showing medium nerve strength. He enjoys being handled and has high touch tolerance, remaining relaxed no matter the situation.
Phillip’s sound sensitivity is low to medium—he’ll locate the source of a sound but quickly return to what he was doing. His sight sensitivity is low as well, as he’s quick to investigate new objects or movements without hesitation.
If you’re looking for a friendly, well-rounded companion, Phillip is your guy!
