My German Shepherd Boxer Mix

My dog is very loyal and addicted to being loved. He will go up to you and sit by you for hours just wanting to be scratched and petted.

He is very hyper and needs A LOT of exercise. He is super strong and weighs 72 pounds at the age of 1 1/2. He is golden brown with a black muzzle and white back toes. He resembles the torso of a boxer and the face of a German Shepherd.

He is very smart; some tricks he knows so far is to sit, lay, wait for a count before accepting a treat, sing (howling to a harmonica), fetch, and shake hands. I expect him to be a very very intelligent dog.

The only cons I know of him is he is VERY hyper at times which makes him not obey. I am hoping this is just a puppy stage because he is only a year and a half old.
