Met new boy Jake today. He's a chunky little monkey and so very well mannered! Our walk was all about getting to know Jake. A cat crossed our path - he noticed but wasn't interested. When we stopped at the kerb to wait for cars, he dutifully sat without me even asking. We passed another dog and as I didn't know how Jake is with dogs, I asked him to sit. He whimpered as if to say he really wanted to say hello! When we saw another dog ahead, his pace picked up to try to catch up. And did I say how easy he was to walk on the lead? No pulling and so very responsive to commands. A lovely boy who has clearly been well loved before

I walked this lovely lad yesterday. My first walk with Jake he's a chunky boy. Listens to his walker did a lovely sit to cross the road. We came to a grassy area and Jake a little bark and got very excited he wanted to play. He is easy to walk. We met an elderly lady on a mobility scooter and she had a little terrier sitting in the footwell she said he was a RR dog and she was very impressed with Jake who sat patiently waiting. He gave little whimper I think he wanted to say hello. We walked passed a driveway and low and behold there was a cat. Jake was excited not sure if he would of chased but a quick "leave it"and he trotted on. Lovely walk with a lovely boy x x

My first walk with this lovely boy today around the quieter streets of Chessington. Jake was not too keen on the other dogs when we were leaving kennels, but soon settled down into a good walk. A good walker with no pulling on the lead. Jake was responsive and happy to be out. Likes his treats treats, but not overly thirsty on this occasion. A lovely boy to walk, happy, but not overly licky or in your face.

Had a fun walk with Jake today. He is a happy and friendly dog, sits nicely for treats and is very good with other dogs. A dog offlead came up to him and jumped up and got caught in his lead and he handled it very well. Was patient and calm. Walks nicely on the lead. Was slightly fascinated by the horses, his ears pricked up and his eyes opened wide while he stopped and gawped a bit but not a problem to control at all.

Got to meet Jake today. We went walking with Smiley and Lily who were with new walkers Michelle and Charlotte. Had a nice wander over the playing fields. Jake is another really nice dog. He is attentive and affectionate and really easy to walk.

Walked lovely Jake today. He was keen and a bit pully for the first 10/15 mins but then he totally chilled out and walked pleasantly and calmly by my side for the following hour and a quarter that we were out. Was a bit excited by a few other dogs, mainly black labs it seemed! Had a nice paddle. He drunk from my dog bottle and took his treats very gently. Happy, bright eyed and wagging tail.

Jake is a very gentle soul, not needy or nor jumpy and with a good natured balanced temperament. I very much enjoyed Jake's company and it is so easy to bond with him (as so many other people have) in the course of an afternoon... just imagine how well Jake will fit into a new home and how much happiness he can bring.
Re: Jake Staffie DOB TBAss Chessington Kennels
I walked chunky monkey Jake this afternoon. He's a chill dog. As others have observed, no pulling, lovely manners. Will sit and takes treats politely, no snatching. Lovely dog.
