Memorial Day Weekend 2010


After seeing Jager jump into our pond like this, we decided to look into Dock Diving.

Our newest member of the family (and our first dog) came to live with us in December 2008.  Jager (pronounced Yager) is a male Dutch Shepherd.  Dutch Shepherds originated in the Netherlands and are pretty rare in the USA.  They are often used as police and service dogs.  In fact, Jager's parents were both imported and were used as police dogs (one of which worked for the LAPD).  Jager's previous owner was a K-9 trainer but Jager was never used as a service dog - just a personal pet.  He is very well trained and does great around people and other dogs.  His favorite thing in life is playing fetch and jumping for balls.  He will literally do it over and over until complete exhaustion.  His speed and jumping abilities are incredible.  He can easily jump onto a 5-foot-high log pile and accelerates like a rocket.  The best part is his disposition when we bring him inside.  Although a high energy dog, he mellows out immediately when playtime is over.  He will lay on his side and let the kids pet him for HOURS!  We all loved him instantly.  He is such a great fit for our family.  We are looking forward to the summer as we have heard he loves to swim and jump off docks.
