Blackjack is our medium-sized black-and-tan terrier and a true country boy with a heart painted in broad, joyful strokes. With his perfectly contrasted coat—nature’s own chiaroscuro—and eyes that sparkle like polished onyx, he’s a living study in charm. Blackjack loves the simple masterpieces in life: fresh air, rambling strolls, good dog friends, and anyone willing to offer a scratch behind the ears. He’s as down-to-earth as a well-worn sketchbook and just as full of character. Easygoing, affectionate, and always ready to pose for his next “portrait,” Blackjack is the kind of companion who turns everyday moments into small works of art. Ready to bring a little country-chic inspiration home? Blackjack is your muse.
Here's some notes from his foster:
Blackjack has been an absolute dream. He is the perfect amount of energy and a couch potato. He is excited for walks and follows me around the house, but when I settle into the couch, he just lies at my feet on the rug. He knows the command of sit, and I am suspicious that he knows a few more tricks. Blackjack clearly was loved very much in a former home and is just looking for his final forever.
Blackjack LOVES people -he wants to greet everyone on the street and did not bark once at people or dogs on our walks. He is a strong, high energy (especially for his age), highly affectionate, and very intelligent dog. He follows me around the house and takes every opportunity to snuggle up. He seems very trainable, it only took a couple of times for him to learn to go up and down the staircase and to not follow me into the bathroom.
Blackjack is an active boy carrying a cheerful and happy energy. He is also able to chill when he sees me busy and not paying attention to him (i.e., work from home). He is potty-trained and will just wait by the front door when he has to go out. He slept on my bed at my feet and did not bother me at all in the night. He can't seem to jump very well, but will gladly be picked up to join the party. He does not seem interested in toys. Eating-wise, he has an amazing appetite and will scarf down his food quickly.
He seems very food motivated, but will not steal your food unless offered.
He can easily jump up onto the couch and bed. Butt scratches are his favorite thing. As far as fetch he likes to chase something that is thrown but can't quite figure out how to bring it back. He gets a little excited when we see other dogs on walks but as soon as they walk away or is redirected he doesn’t fixate and moves on easily.
