Hi everyone! I have an 18-month old "puppy" named Jack. He loves sticks, balls, baths, showers, and the snow.

Thanks! Yes, I see a lot of similar features in Jack & Marley! I remember what a sweet little puppy she was too!

she still is. wow, it amazes me how she is with my grandson. when he was younger, she tried to herd him, but now they just play. she usually barks when someone comes to the house, but if we let them in she is fine. still could use a little training, hopefully, i will be able to have my trainer come over again and evaluate her in the spring. she will not believe how much she has changed. at first we couldn't even hug her and she didn't even know what a ball was. i think she likes us. lol

Sounds like she's really bonded with you! How long have you had her? Jack barks at people who come to the house (or even just walk past) too, but like Marley he's fine once we let them inside. The biggest problem is, he is very large and over enthusiastic and it scares some people. He loves people, and he loves attention. We're working hard on his manners and he's come a long way. I can see that the more mature he gets, the more he improves. Jack is very treat motivated - you can get him to do anything for a Yummy Chummy (his favorite).

Welcome! Jack is stunning! Do you know any of his ancestry?

Yes, I know his whole family. He is one of the litter mates of Marley (Samba Von Konigtum) His parents were Femke von Konigtum (out of V Raffie vom Kirschental and V Faskus vom Kirschental), and Lobo Von Konigtum (out of Zeus von KÃ¶nigtum, and Keira vom Kirschental). Lobo's father Zeus is a trained search and rescue dog who was one of the dogs used at the World Trade Center after 9/11.

No wonder! Kirschental dogs are gorgeous! (IMHO of course!)
