| JACKSON
Jax is a very good natured boy. He loves everybody and gets along with other dogs very well. He loves to play. Jax had very severe entropion that affected his sight, but since his surgery, he's seeing much better.
Jax is a young sable horsecoat male, neutered, current on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention.
UPDATE 12/12/05:
Jax is being fostered by a former adopter and everything is going
great. Jax loves Puddles, Bryan's other pei, and I think the feeling
is mutual. Below is Bryan's account of the first night:
We all slept sound
last night. In fact, they had played so hard yesterday that
they both had completely passed out even before I got to bed.
Jax woke up this morning and immediately wanted to start playing
with me. I guess a good night's sleep did him good.
I went out and bought him a couple of toys. He's been trying
very hard to chew the squeaker out of one of them. Those
two kept me in stitches last night. Puddles is so funny
with him. When he lays down Puddles will stick out her chest
and run right up on him, then smack him with her paw, then she
will prance around and throw her butt right in his face.
I think she's really trying to show him who is boss around there.
I can tell I'm going to have my hands full with him, but that
is a good thing. As soon as he gets pretty well acclimated
to his new surroundings I will start working with him.
Jax will be adopted
by Bryan and Puddles if he's a good boy and everything works out.
Yea for Jax!
UPDATE 12/28/05
Jax has a permanent home! Bryan and Puddles agree that Jax needs
to stay with them. They've become best pals and playmates. Puddles
is happy to have company while Bryan is working and Jax is happy
to have Puddles to play with during the day.

10/2/06: Jackson
is doing great. The training has really helped him quite
a bit. He’s still a handful though. I am having
to keep him leashed when he’s outside so that I can get
control of him when I need to. He will only listen to me
when I have him leashed. The trainer has told me that he
is "reinforcement smart" which means as long as he knows
that I can get control of him he will listen, but when he realizes
that I do not, he does whatever he wants. My trainer was
very correct on this. He’s a perfect angel as long
as the leash is on. He’s not chewing so much anymore,
but he still backslides every so often. Since he has finally
shed his puppy coat, he has really turned into a very beautiful
boy. His sable coat is gorgeous-he looks like he’s
wearing a little tuxedo. He is still a little rough on Puddles,
but I'm trying to curb that. Bryan
Jackson and Puddles
- a beautiful pair, don't you think?
5/17/09: It's been
a while since I've seen Jackson but we've kept in touch. Today
I had a nice visit with him and Sarah (Puddles passed away a while
back). Jackson looks great and he is so well behaveed. I was amazed
at the success Bryan has had training Jackson. What a good boy
he is now.
Isn't he gorgeous!
