Jack Jack is a very energetic and fun dog that loves to chase balls and be around his people. He is a neutered 3 year old Black Lab mixed with a pointer breed. He weighs in at a mere 63 pounds but it is all muscle! Jack is very smart, loving, and loyal. His favorite thing to do is to chase balls into the pool and he’ll bring it right back for another throw. Even when he is very excited to play ball, he has learned to stay on command and only retrieve it when released. Once playtime is complete Jack settles into his engaging and calm personality. Jack came to DLRR in December, 2024 because he had too much energy for a young busy family. The original owner stated that Jack was obtained from a breeder specializing in Pointing Labs for hunting dogs. Jack has urinary incontinence and wears a belly band in the house during the day. He is housebroken; he just occasionally dribbles a few drops unknowingly. DLRR has performed extensive diagnostics on Jack and found his anatomy to be intact. Traditional medications have not been 100% effective for his incontinence. Additionally, Jack is overly exuberant on car rides. A successful management strategy includes Kong toys embedded with frozen treats. Overall, Jack is a joy to be around and everyone who has spent any time with him falls in love with him. Jack is crate trained although he is not destructive in the home when left alone. He uses the dog door and sleeps on his dog bed through the night. He is friendly with strangers and other dogs. Jack is well behaved on the leash and when he sees other dogs, he is interested but not reactive. He has been very gentle with a visiting 18-month granddaughter. After receiving enough exercise, he settles down and loves to cuddle with his people. He is equally affectionate to men and women. The best adoption match for Jack is a home with a pool and enough backyard space for good exercise. Owners should prepare for ample exercise time in the mornings and evenings.
