Welcome Tiffany

We have had Tiffany in our home for a day or two and this is what we know so far.

Loving
Happy
Loves her foster brother
Loves pets and belly rubs
A few potty accidents
Crates easily
Sleeps quietly
Quickly leaning the leash
No food aggression or guarding
Low to no shedding
Soft but not silky coat

Stay tuned for updates as we get to know her better!



First night, settled in nicely


Such a great size.
Not too big, so she fits nicely in a condo, apartment, car or camper.

Not too small,
So you don't need to worry about tumbling and rough housing.
 And she can get in and out of the car herself.




Her coat is very red down her back.
Her side fur has white tips.



You can see the white fur on her side.




See the black tip on her tail?

Jackson the bird dog

What a beautiful morning for a walk.
Sun is shining.
Birds are singing.

And then.......



These geese had the nerve to land in Jackson's pond.
Right where he was walking.



 Let's just say, that Jackson knew they were there.
He didn't bark, or act up in anyway.
But..... He certainly didn't want to let them out of his site.

Jackson one week update


I can’t believe it’s been a week since we picked up Jackson.

He has been one of the easiest fosters so far.


Housetraining – Still no accidents. Does his business on his morning and evening leashed walks. (We don’t have a fenced yard)

Crate- Crates easily and rests quietly. No crying or barking.

Leash-Loves his walks. Listen’s well to direction. No pulling.

Food/Eating-Eating grain-free kibble, with just a small spoon of wet food on top, and loving it.

Socialization-We have taken Jackson on car rides, visits to Grandma’s house and even camping. He takes everything in stride and loves the adventure. He does well in any situation and when meeting any new person or pup. He still lets out a short bark or two when excited, but far less than in the beginning. I think as he settles into a new life, and with a little coaching, the barking may stop altogether.

Personality – Happy and active, but lately we have witnessed Jackson “slowing his roll” a little. He seems much more content to lay quietly with a chew or rest on a lap than he was the first few days. He’s a super smart guy who has learned, sit and stay. Of course he may have already known them and just needed a refresher. I believe he probably knows a lot more and we will work on some new commands soon. My husband and I are not “lap dog” people. He grew up with hunting beagles, and I grew up with working cattle dogs, neither of which were allowed on laps, but it is just impossible to deny Jackson lap privileges. He just melts into a warm fluffy chocolate puddle when you pick him up. I think this is his calling. He turns totally chill and completely relaxed in someone’s arms.
