Jetta

Jetta has been a phenomenal addition to our family. We cannot thank you enough.

She is 26 inches at her "withers" not sure if that is also how you measure dogs? Around 70 plus pounds.

Smart girl with a very strong drive to please, quite sensitive to any correction or discord. I discovered that at a LaCrosse game when we sat by a family and two of their children had a loud disagreement.

She loves her soccer balls and playing fetch with them however I can take her to the boys soccer games without any worry that she would chase a game ball or person running.

She is crazy about boating and will dive for her rubber rockets-I really would prefer she didn't as I am concerned about her hears. She is trying to figure out the boat latter and has attempted it once herself. I will see if I can get a video of her underwater.

She still meets strangers nicely but I can tell she is reserved, when we meet folks she knows and likes she shows how happy she is to see them. We still take her everywhere, she even stayed in a hotel and came to a funeral with us. Jetta LOVES my mom.

I am home full time now and I hope to get back to obedience class after school resumes for the kids. The underground fence has worked out well, it beeps a warning that she has no desire to challenge however she is quick to figure out if it's off. We walk 3.5 miles daily weather permitting.

She is rarely crated, sleeps with us. I crate her if I will be gone for several hours as she has a good time entertaining herself if I don't. I have had far more destructive Bull Terriers.

Here she is walking by the Lake tonight with a nice short summer haircut.

We are all just crazy about her she really is amazing!
