7 year old male Sable and White colored Sheltie

Update 12/19/24. Jackie Jack loves to play with his dog friends, but is leary of people. If you sit on the ground, he will come to you for pets. When you stand, he freaks our and runs away. Delete the ZERO recall from the previous entry.  He now will come when you say "HERE!" (but you better have a treat to reinforce this good behavior!)

 

Cracker Jack (we call him Jackie Jack) and his friends were surrendered by an owner who didn't have time for all the dogs they were breeding. 

He is very shy especially with strangers.  He has ZERO recall, so we keep him on leash in the yard. He has gotten to where he loves walks and following his foster parents in the yard.  There are signs of his previous life where he wasn't properly trained or simply ignored.  He has strong verbal reactions to many common everyday items (sweeping, squirt bottles, aluminum foil) and occurrences (people walking by, loud trucks.).  His foster parents are working on desensitizing that.  But if you want a mostly quiet, affectionate (on his terms) handsome boy, he will make a good pet. He is highly food motivated.

Height 16 inches, Weight 25 pounds, DOB 07/21/16
