I grew up with a dog ,cat and any other critter in a cage I could get away with as a child. I took Jackie in when he was seven months old.We met him and just took him home immediately. After trial and error we ended up putting him in obedience training He was the most liked dog in the class because he has so much personality.He liked to hang out with his trainer and her German Sheperds after class walking in the woods. From day one he had a prance in his walk.He captures everyones heart. Even though he is thirteen there are facial expressions and sleep positions that still make me laugh. Many times I carried him outside to do his thing when he hurt his back.He fully recovered each time and never needed surgery. I am proud to be his mom,and would never move where they did not allow dogs. Jackie is truly my baby.
