Thank you Patti, for your support!


Jazz arrived to us on April 11, 2004. This handsome boy is easygoing, eager-to-please, curios and joyfull....and a cutie!

After being in a beautiful horse farm for his first 4 months, coming to the city would be an adjustment for many dogs. Jazz seems to blend right into it all as if he's seen it all before. Went to a couple of stores yesterday and handled himself very well. Glad to be petted by friendly people and happy tail wagging.
