About Luca’s Breed Mix:
Luca is a mix of two incredibly intelligent and loyal breeds, the Labrador Retriever and the German Shepherd. Labs are famously friendly, eager to please, and loving, while Shepherds are known for their focus, protective nature, and work ethic. The combination of these traits makes Luca an affectionate and devoted companion who thrives on structure, exercise, and mental challenges.
Luca’s Story & Personality:
Luca is still a puppy, so he’s full of energy and curiosity, but he can be a little shy at first meeting new people. He loves to play hard and nap hard, always with a big, happy smile. His favorite activities include running, exploring, and spending time with his people. Luca is still learning the fun of toys but is quickly getting the hang of playtime with his siblings. He’s a little bundle of joy who will make a great family companion and lifelong friend.

A home with another dog for him to play with or a family who can give him plenty of attention
A yard for him to run and play
An active family that enjoys outdoor activities like hiking and fetch
Someone who can provide structure, training, and lots of love for this smart, eager pup
