Fredericka & Bob,
Patti & I can not say enough about how great your dogs are.I have had Jake trained as a Psychiatric Service Dogs  and he took to it so fast it was perfect fit. .  The breed is perfect for PTSD service dogs as they are so loving yet physically intimidating without being aggressive or mean.  This lets the handler "feel" much
safer in their environment. I tell you, for me, when I am out with Jake he is a joy to be with, people love him, yet all keep their distance till asking me if it is ok to approach.
Hope you like "Jake's Birthday" letter.
Wishing you all the best.

Jake M: born 11 Feb 2007,

Son of Duke and Jenna,  21LBS at 8weeks,            

Well this is my second birthday and things couldn’t be better.  I have surpassed the 200 lbs mark.  I am such a big boy, and I am so well behaved everyone loves me.  Patti and Dennis brought me a Duck.  That is my favorite toy and for some reason the squeaker stops making noise and has to be fixed every few weeks. The Duck is down to 1 wing but I still love it.

Every place I go people seem surprised on how big I am. They all think my name is “H--- S---”.  Or they all want me to own a saddle.  I seem to get that a lot and people staring, I do not know why, I am not that big.

Patti is now used to having a dog in the house and realizes that she could not live without me and doesn’t know how she lived without a dog (well, me that is) in the past.

Apparently not only am I good looking I am smart also, I got to go to school for Public Access training so now I am a  Psychiatric Service Dog, not sure what that is but I get to go to more places  now like hospitals, restaurants and other places Dennis takes me.  With this new training I got a vest and saddle bags for equipment for mine and Dennis stuff so I guess all those people were right.

That is fun but what I really like best is doing my job of protecting the house, eating my food and treats, keeping the neighbors cats away and generally being the best most lovable part of the family.  Tell my sisters, mom and dad I said hello, and I am doing fine. .   I hope they visit me, tell them to bring treats.  I like all kinds but I think I am supposed to have the natural snacks that will keep me healthy and let me live long.

The best dog Ever,

JAKE MARCELLO

Fredericka,
  Still more than happy with Jake.  He took to the house without an issue.  We didn't need to do much at all in the way of potty training. He knows when we take him down to bed that that is what its for,
Bedtime.  No crying or barking.  Now that is not to say he is quiet. He has found his voice and feels free to use it. He is learning the standard stuff Sit, down, stay. and goes to "school" in July along with Patti &I.  He is still healthy and happy and is always willing to show us he is happy we are around.
    He has steadily gained weight and  looks great.    He has learned how far the yard is and will not leave it.
He has been great, if all your dogs are this good I can only see the breed becoming more and more popular
