Jake is being homed privately by his trainer/breeder Kathy Wilson and his foster carer Danielle Irving, who have asked us to assist in finding a good, responsible and loving home for this young boy.
I have met Jack and he is this stunning , tall, black greyhound with a big smile and lovely brown eyes. Very very cute - puppy-like, active and fun, with a mischievous streak :)
Jake is a huge playful puppy who thinks he is tiny (in fact, he weighs 38kg - a big gorgeous black boy), he can be boisterous at first but will settle down if you tell him 'NO'.
Jake is very keen to learn as well as well as very motivated by treats and praise so will be easy to train. He loves his food, is not fussy at all, and would do anything for treats.
Jake is very very trainable and responsive - he is leaning to sit, stay, wait, come. His lead manners are usually great but he needs reminding to walk to heal from time to time.
He doesn’t like to be left on his own in kennels but he is fine and happy inside the house ; we think he would be the happiest living with another dog or people who are around a bit.
Jake LOVES kids and playing with them; he sometimes forgets how big he is though, so we think his new family should have only bigger kids (no tiny kids, as although he just loves them he may knock them over in his mad playful moments!). He is happy to sleep once he is tired and sleeps (snores) all night.
Jake is very people-oriented and will make a loving and fun interactive pet. Being so trainable, he would be also suitable for someone who wants to do some obedience training, Rally O or Canine Good Citizen classes. With a bit of recall training by his new owner, Jake will be an offlead greyhound out and about.

Jake is also crate-trained and toilet trained.
Jake was beautifully bred from top lines of racing dogs , and he was dearly loved by his trainers and handlers during his life. As a result, he is extremely friendly and loves all people. His trainer sent us these cute photos of puppy Jake and his siblings:

Jake will go to his new home health checked, desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and registered.
He will also come with a complimentary Nightrave designer collar and lead, of course :)
