Maltipoo, 8 Pounds

Hi, I’m Jax or Jaxxy! I’m full of spunk, happiness, energy and the biggest brain you ever did see! And, let’s not forget…my eyebrows…they are definitely a hit with all the ladies!!

From day one, when I joined the pack, my training began! Mommy started with the basics…learning my name, sit and down. I was a 3 lb ball of fluff and Mommy quickly realized I was smart, very eager to learn, not to mention, I had an extreme love of food (and praise)! She used every mealtime as a training session, and it paid off!

Never one to miss an opportunity, Mommy just kept working with me! At less than a year old, I had earned my Canine Good Citizen, my Novice Rally Title, my Novice, Intermediate & Advanced Trick Dog Titles and my Barn Hunt Instinct Title.

The second Mom grabs the treats, I am ready to learn! Mommy’s biggest challenge is not boring me! If I’ve done the trick a couple of times perfectly, I’m ready to move on to the next thing, and will give Mom my bored dramatic look if she makes me do the trick one more time!

Hug is definitely my favorite trick, because I know it’s Mom’s favorite, too! She doesn’t even have to ask. If she has the treats in hand, and there’s a sibling close by…they’re getting a HUG! 

I also have a need for speed!! Whether it’s coming when Mommy calls, running on the beach, hiking or just getting the zoomies around the house…I like to go fast!! Like super-fast!

I’m a great guard dog, especially when we’re traveling! I like to protect my family, so I’m quick to announce anyone intruders! I’ll also step in a protect my siblings from people or other dogs. It’s important to me that everyone stays safe!

I love creatures of all kinds. I’m constantly trying to make friends with the neighborhood lizards! And, anything that runs, I know they’re just wanted to play chase, which I’m happy to oblige! 

A few years ago, I became a big brother, which caused me to grow up a little bit more. I now take life a little bit more seriously. I try to set a great example for my little brother, showing him how he should behave and how he should listen to Mommy & Daddy. It’s doesn’t always work, but that’s not my fault! My little brother is a bit of a goober who doesn’t always listen!

I’m eager to please and love to be active and work my brain. Oh, and who could forget…I even do leg lifts in my sleep to stay fit, and have the cutest booty ever!
