My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jackson is about one-and-a-half-years old and weighs 50lbs. He came to us in February 2008 and is responding well to obedience training. He interprets commands in very imaginative ways and performs a sit with his paw in the air and on down he likes to loll casually on one side. Jackson is a charming comedian and will fit best into a home that enjoys and even encourages his entertaining qualities as Jackson is happiest when he has an appreciative audience. Jackson can become whiney when not being given the attention he craves and the handlers are working with him to correct this behavior. His family will need to continue helping him not to whine if it is not to become an annoying habit. Jackson enjoys agility and he cannot get enough petting from his human companions which is consistent with his attention seeking personality. Sometimes Jackson pulls on the leash when walking but this should be a correctible behavior
