Everybody thinks Jake is a girl - because he's so pretty! They always call him a "Lassie dog" - close enough I guess. At the shelter last week, we were introducing him to a big female rottweiler. Everybody kept calling her "him" and him "her" and pretty soon they got so confused they just gave up. I mean - this huge muscular female and this little fluffy groomed male. I don't blame them.

I don't think anybody will ever confuse Max for a girl. He looks too big and scary. Although today he got scared of a little weiner dog and we nicknamed him "Maxine".
