Jack is a 60 pound clear sable and white. He scored in the top 5% of all English Shepherds for his PennHip score of DI .25 and does not carry the MDR1 gene. He is the first to greet you when you arrive home, but then goes on about his business. He does check in with you every few minutes to make sure all is well. Jack is energetic but has a laid back personality and doesn’t get excited very easily. Jack will only bark if it’s needed. He is wary of adult strangers and is protective of his family. If I’m ok with the stranger he will respect that and sit by my side and keep an eye on the person. Jack is very tolerant and accepting towards all children and will let them pet him and cuddle him. Jack exhibit’s moderate herding and prey instincts and his strongest trait is watching and protecting.
