You've really brought him along to the point that before long you likely will be working on dock-diving form and distance, etc. This dog belongs in his own reality show, I'm telling you.
He cracks me up living the life of anything but what one would think today's millenium Yorkie lives! I think today the typical person hears the word "Yorkie" and sees in their mind's eye a yappy, pampered little toy dog dolled up in a topknot with fancy bows, a flowing coat of silk lying about on fancy, satin cushions with lots of gourmet treats, a doggie armoire full of fancy, monogramed outfits and sequined accessories. Action Jackson is a far from that Yorkie stereotype as a dog can get! |
Thank you!
I do love my boy to pieces. I am so lucky I did not get a frilly lap dog, it ended up working out great for me. But I never really raised him like that either, never carried him around a lot, and always let him explore and try new things and encouraged!
Believe it or not, I've seen a LOT of Yorkies on youtube that were pool lovers- and it actually surprised me!
Here was some cute ones I found on youtube (any of them YT'ers???)
Check out this deep sea diver (Jax would not even think of doing this... lol hates getting his head under)
But there's a lot more, I was surprised! I think we often forget these guys are terriers first and foremost!
