Jack
A happy, slightly demented looking Jack down by the river.
Jack is a pretty independant dog. He also has a good handle on the three girls, who he, Harris and Kuna share a pen with. They can be bossy as hell, but for some reason, they LOVE playing with Jack. They also love humping him, but that's another story... Quite often he's just trying to sleep and they'll bounce up and down in front of him, bark in his face, paw at him, until he gets going and joins in the game!
Here's Jack running with someone other than Harris - Lucy! He always jumps and stands on the gangline for some reason.

If you didn't read the Harris post - these guys are four years old now. I got them at 8 weeks old and they were fun little guys. Still are. They are great listeners, who I can take pretty much anywhere off leash and not have to worry about them taking off or ganging up on other dogs. One day while biking, they were loose and we came across this little old lady walking this teeny tiny dog on a leash. She was frightened as these two came bounding up. They are about 65 and 70lbs each. They then looked at her wee dog and sniffed it, totally curious as to what the heck it was! All I did was ride by and call them and they followed. Them's good dogs.
Jack on our big 20-mile run. A bit tired here near the end and ready for a good nap.
The two leading together. Jack was pretty good in lead last year, but seems to have an aversion for it this year. Not sure why, so I'm keeping him in the middle of the team making sure he's having fun and wanting to go. He seems to be ok on shorter distances and in smaller teams. Maybe once they're in really good shape and he gains a bit of confidence, he'll be up for the job again. If not, oh well. He's great skijoring though.
My two lookouts down by the river.
Jack and his little alien-shaped head.
