My story

　　Jax is a 1 1/2 years old black/tan male Doberman. He came to DAR&E because his owner was having a child and wasn't able to meet his exercise and attention demands.

　　Jax weighs about 80 lbs. He has a docked tail and cropped ears that stand sometimes and sometimes they don't. Jax is a very sweet boy who wants to please you. He is still very much a puppy so his attention span is quite short, but Jax is very smart and knows most of his basic obedient commands. You just need to get his attention first :) Jax is house and crate trained. He has an active mind and body so it's best to secure him in a crate when he isn't being supervised so he doesn't get into mischief.

　　Jax LOVES to run so a good-sized fenced yard for him to run in is a must. Jax likes to start his day by running laps around the yard. Jax will play a little fetch although he is easily distracted by birds flying by or the sound of passing cars. Check out his video: https://youtu.be/1MC3XlQDuiI Jax can be a little mouthy when he plays and he doesn't understand how much space he takes up, but a little patience and consistent guidance will help him mature into a super nice dog.

　　Jax is a sweet boy that has a lot of potential.
