Meet Jax

I am a great companion for anyone with older kids or without kids! I love to play with humans more than anything else! I spend most of the day sleeping in a sunny spot either inside or outside but prefer to be inside. I was once crate trained but have since graduated and roam the house when my family is not home. I do not have accidents or chew on items I should not. A walk or some time playing with my owners in the yard is all I need to get my energy out for the day. A mile will wear me out for the night. One of my favorite games is hide-and-seek! Just tell me to stay, go hide and I will try and find you! I also am very good for a big dog at catching balls in the air. I am only ok at fetch as sometimes I like when you chase me! I do well in the car, I sit back and enjoy the ride. I love to go to the park and find new scents. Afterwards I may get a bath. I don’t enjoy them, but I do enjoy being clean.

Being a good companion is important to me. I am very connected to my owners and listen very well. I sit, stay, come, lay down and can “leave it” when my owners instruct me too. When it is time to calm down I notice and sit or lay next to my owner. Being close and showing affection is important to me! When I am not showing affection, I will sit next to my owners and chew on a bone. When it is time for bed I follow my owners to my dog bed in the master bedroom. Listening is very important to me. When my owners have a party, I make sure I am a good host! I am not intimidated by a crowd at all and excel when there are a lot of people around to play with. I know it is important to be a good host, so I make sure I do not get into anything I am not supposed to! Even when my owners place a tray of meat and cheese on the ottoman at my eye level I will not take any food! I may sit and stare at it and since I made some many friends during the party someone will sneak me a treat!

I do not jump on people, I do not chew on furniture or anything I am not supposed to and I do not have accidents in the house. Even when left unattended I am well behaved.
