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. |
