Appearance:
The young female is the epitome of a work force canine.
West has the body built for strength, speed, as well as agiliy. Her body is lean but well-muscled around her legs, shoulders, and neck. Her body is well framed and could be described as even or well rounded. This particular dog has more of her mothers body structure, a Belgian Malinious, over her fathers. She can reach speeds of 40-45 KPH and has a bite force of 185 PSI. As far as height and weight goes, West measures in at about 25 inches at the shoulder and weighs approximately 76 pounds. She has a double coat that she got from her father, causing her to be on the fluffier side of coat textures, it being smooth and silky to the touch.
Her tail is long, either hanging neatly between the two back legs or standing high and resting on her back. Her posture is always alerts and most of the time it will be stiff as well. West holds herself with confidence, holding her head up high wherever she goes. Her long legs are well muscled not being bulky in the slightest, thus goes for her chest as well. The fur that isn't around her neck or tail is fairly neat, meanwhile her necks fur is somewhat like a mini mane, fluffing out just before reaching her shoulder blades. Her ears are tall and pointed, with her head being more of a square shape, much like her fathers. Her snout dips elegantly down into a longer jaw. West's mouth always hangs in a loose sort of frown, rarely opening into a teethy grin, usually only when overheating but the occasional time for fun comes around. Her stunning light blue eyes are larger, being at the front of her head, always looking around and being alert for anything that could possibly hold any danger.
When it comes to coloration, she most definitely takes after her father, definitely not the stereotypical coloration of both of her parents breeds, but she takes after the Beauceron in her far more. Her fur is mostly a light grey, some onlookers may claim it to be a white color. The greyish white color starting at her muzzle, continuing to her face and neck and then going down to her chest and stomach. The top part of her back near her spine and ribs is where the blue merle colors start popping up, they are very light, littering around her stomach and legs, her paws being a darker gray. Her rump is mainly white, with a few darker gray and almost blue looking spots lingering around and her tail is completely white with the exception of the tip which is a dark gray color.

The first thing you'll notice when you approach the female is her aura. She holds a steely confidence, with her head held high and her ears alert its hard to get past her. She can be known to be quite intimidating, her presence giving no sort of comfort unless you know her personally or your her handler. She is a reserved individual, not taking pleasure in socializing with others and will only do so if its a hundred percent mandatory. Because of her breed, rather the mix of two breeds, she was bred for intelligence and to be a quick learner. And that she is. Being almost completely done with her training at such a young age is quite impressive really.
An important aspect of this female that people and other animals must keep in mind is that she is a working dog. She isn't a lap dog whatsoever, even in these pampered and well secured neighborhoods, she is always on high alert. West will constantly be seen almost patrolling the perimeters of her handles estate and the same is to be said for the dog park. Being said simply, West, if not working doesn't feel like she's important. Its her purpose, if you will. Her handler has attempted to help her to do otherwise, especially on breaks, but its difficult for her. She always has to be moving or doing something productive. Whether that be a hardcore training session or a rare ball throwing game, its mandatory she's always moving.
All this considered, West is surprisingly patient around others when it comes to tasks they are meant to be doing or haven't done yet. She will strongly encourage them to participate in activities or do their job like their supposed to. How much patience with a canine or other being depends on their age and wisdom- say for example; a child or pup was asked to do a task and they weren't, West wouldn't mind as much, the same goes for the elderly. But if there is a dog or human of age where they are expected to be able to do such things, West won't be so humble. The female can be quite demanding and stern when it comes to certain subjects, but she always means well.
West will stick to you like glue. This goes for her loyalty towards others and how much trust she is willing to put into you. When getting close to the female, which not most have been able to do, you will find a calm and somewhat playful soul. The female rarely ever shows her playful side, but when she does its not something to take for granted. Is she acts like this around you it means you are either extremely close or slowly building a bond of trust between the two of you. She will also show much more of a protective side when it comes to others approaching you and will keep watch for any potential dangers. She is a reliable and trustworthy canine, so if she is to keep your secrets, she expects you to respect her and her own secrets that she may or may not have.

Other Affiliations:
Michael G. Ford - 28 YO, Male; The young man was assigned to train West three years ago when the female was just six months old. Michael has been in the work force since the age of 22 and works with the Marine Corps K-9 Institution. Michael trained with the overall Military K-9 Work Force for about two years before he trained specifically for the Marines, and it's seemed to work pretty well for him. The young man is typically home in the morning until 9:00 AM, then he leaves for work and comes back around 10:00 PM, with the possible stop at the house in between his work hours in case he forgot something or needed to pick something up. West will usually company him during any of his free time for extra training in their back yard or at the dog park. But otherwise, West has a nanny, if you will, that cares for her when her handler is away on duty. The nanny's name is Daphne.
Daphne S. Olivander - 30 YO, Female - West's nanny. Daphne was assigned by Michael to make sure the female dog had enough food and water, brought to the dog park at least for a couple hours a day for socialization, that she took rests when she needed them, and to try and attempt a good game of ball throwing. Which Daphne has overall accomplished, she has been with for Michael for two and a half years- both as his girlfriend and fellow K-9 Handler. But this woman's dog is being trained two countries over, so she doesn't see him that often...
