Special Abilities: Jess is excellent at doggy communication.  He knows just how to approach dogs who might be shy or even dominant.  He knows just the right stance to take to invite play without invading space.
 

Jess is our first Silken and already we are in love.  He Slinks around the house with such grace, even Merlot my very dominant Standard Poodle likes him!  He's not demanding, he's not destructive, he's not annoying in any form.  He loves attention, but doesn't bug us to 'pay attention to me right now!!".  If all silkens are like Jess, I can't imagine not having more!

Jess has started his conformation training and is learning to stand stay and look pretty.  :)  He loves the clicker and we have to watch that he doesn't 'automatic sit' at this point.  First Learned behaviors are usually the 'default' in stressful situations so we do not want him to focus on a sit in this manner.  He's a smart boy, I'm sure he will be a star conformation boy really soon!
