Thank you all for your wonderful comments! As that was written sometime after last May (probably a year ago), Jackson has accomplished much more. He has been in Group a few times, but did not place.

And, like you all could have guessed, he has an agility title! He got his NAJ (Novice Agility Jumpers) title in November. After that, he stopped enjoying agility, and later we found out that he had been building up 50 cystine stones in his bladder. We had them removed a month ago, and are starting agility again on Monday. In the meanwhile, we've started Rally, and hopefully will get his RN this weekend (three shows, Fri-Sun) as he is just so smart!

Another new thing... He has a sister! Although Tucker and Jewel are like twins, and Jackson has been left to chase the ball himself or practice agility or obedience with his mother (which he has no problem with). We hope to add a fourth dog for him.

Again, thank you for your great comments about such a wonderful dog! He's just a joy to be around and train!

Wish us luck in Rally this weekend as well as Juniors (I'm 17, trying to get to Westminster with Jack) and wish Tucker luck in Breed! And keep a look out for Jackson's handsome brother Tucker, as I sent in his application not long after Jack's!
