Jake

Jake does shed minimally, so before applying please do take this onto consideration as we do not want to rehome him if you have dog related allergies.

His coat is pretty similar to a Bernese Mountain dog, double coated with a slight wave.

He will allow his owners to brush him through, but you must have some tasty treats to hand.

Jake is also nervous at the groomers, tries to jump out the bath and will take two persons to groom him. It would be best to speak with an experience groomer before taking him into their salon.

Many groomers understand some dogs can be nervous so they will help make the experience better for the dogs, just work together with your groomer.

A good example to find a highly qualified groomer is the Groomers Spotlight.

The vets also he can be nervous, he will go into the vets but the owners sit on the floor with him, chatting and comforting him in the waiting area.

Once inside he will allow the vet to examine him.

We would suggest finding an understanding vets practice and take Jake into the waiting area many times before even seeing a vet, this is to build up his confidence.

Jake’s temperament is lively and bouncy, loves to cuddle when familiar, will sometimes sit himself in the other room and sleep, generally sleeps on the floor next to the bed, hates to be left on his own, will jump up if excited, your typical over friendly goofy ball.

Jake has attended training lessons in the past, but not recently. He knows sit, wait and down. Very good at waiting.

Jake has never been aggressive or bitten, he rather shy away from strangers he does not know to start with until he gets to know them.

We will declare Jake does suffer from separation anxiety, he just loves to be around his people. He can be left for a few hours per day, say if you need to attend to appointments, or go shopping. If left for longer periods he has been known to chew a door frame, so please do work on his separation issues.

Jake is toilet trained but we always state please be aware any dog might have an accident in a new and strange environment.

He has never been in a crate and we advise if you are going to crate train, do it slowly and make it a nice calm place of rest.

Jake is very good travelling in a car.

You must be prepared to travel for as many meet and greets as we request as we do not want to rehome Jake again. It has to be about the dogs, this is why we work this way.

Absolutely no showboating Jake for at least the first week, allow him to settle in his own environment with the people that live in his new home. This means no visitors and no taking him to visitors. Slow and steady with him to start with please.

We do not use kennels our adoption process for Jake will be home from home.
