HIS COAT IS A GLEAMING HIGH GLOSS BLACK, ACCENTED WITH A GLACIER WHITE SPLASH ON HIS CHEST, "CUDDLE" SOFT AND SO SHINY IT LOOKS LIKE DAX JUST JUMPED OUT OF A BIG POOL OF WATER, WHICH BEING THE COMBINATION OF TWO WATER LOVING BREEDS THIS IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY.

JINGLE YOU CAR KEYS BUT YOU BETTER BE QUICK DAX WILL BEAT YOU TO YOUR SEAT TURN HIS PRECIOUS HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "COME ON WE'VE GOT PLACES TO GO, CHILDREN TO TAKE TO SWIM CLASS, ERRANDS AROUND TOWN TO RUN". IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO THE BEACH BOY IS DAX READY, HE WOULD SPEND HIS DAY CHASING "HIS" BALL DOWN THE SHORE LINE AND THEN DIVING IN THE BIGGEST FLUFFY WAVE HE COULD FIND TO COOL OFF!!!
