Please review the pedigree at this link.. http://www.shadowacre.com/jackson.htm (yes, I know, I need new pictures) then.. tell me WHO is responsible for this dog's behavior??? I was warned when he came to me at 12 weeks of age that he could "leap tall buildings" in a single bound, but except for the occasional low fence, Jackson has been an angel.. now, he is 11 months old and puberty has come on.. BIG TIME!! I have one bitch in season and he will NOT be contained.. even though he has never even come close (well, he hadn't until he cleared the 7 foot fence around her run). I have yet to completely cover a run - I'm afraid he would kill himself trying to get out.. so, since he hasn't figured out (yet!) how to open gates, he is free to come and go from the kennel yard at will.. the funniest thing is that once he is in there, he is very content to just lay beside her! Only a few more days and we are clear of bitches in season.. <sigh> I just want to know.. who do I blame this on??? Carolyn???Do you know??? (Just kidding folks, although he is driving me nuts!)
