Jake

We just adore Jake. A friend of mine took these pictures of Jake at agility class two weeks ago. Jake LOVES agility. He really likes all the contact equipment. The pictures aren't great but at least it gives you an idea of how cute he is. He does two agility classes a week. He is my husband's favorite dog of ours, even though we're not supposed to have favorites. His only issue is he's a little leary when strangers want to approach his head so I have started clicking and treating him everytime he lets a stranger in his space and he's doing much, much better. I took him to obedience every week right after we got him but it was the same place and the same people and this trait was never apparent. We don't have kids or people over and I took him other places once in a while but I guess not enough. Anyway, I am trying to work him through this and now he's overcoming it very quickly. Everyone says he looks like either a border collie or a flat coated retriever or a black golden retreiver. I'm not a picture taker myself. Don't own a camera or cell phone and don't facebook or twitter but I will get pictures taken at the shows and will send them to you. I did send you a Christmas sled picture right after we got him and a July 2009 professional picture that you acknowledged receiving. He's still the same size, 20" in height and 53 lbs. Thank you for fostering Jake. He's very much loved and adored and will be with us forever.
