Would you like to be a sponsor?Jackson is a 1.5- 2 year old, neutered, male, black/red, German Shepherd Dog. "Action Jackson" lives up to his name. He plays with all of the big dogs, though we have to watch him around the smaller dogs. He loves to chase rabbits, squirrels, cats, and gives the eye to our wiener dog every now and again. He is a powerful dog that isn't large, but has a thicker build and is lower to the ground. He needs a German Shepherd savvy home that is willing and able to train him appropriately. He is capable of jumping short fences, though makes no attempt at a 6 foot fence. He likes toys, and makes a very good watch dog in his home with a good bark. If you are an experienced German Shepherd home and think Jackson would be a good match for you, please fill out an application!
