DH and I took Jackson (17 weeks today) and our 10 year old lab mix for a walk around the neighborhood last night...(Jackson is doing great on the leash btw)...ran into a lady we know from our daughter's swim team...she had her dog with her, some kind of medium size terrier mix...her dog was pulling and whining and just generally misbehaving...my little guy poked his nose to sniff and then just sat down and watched the dog make a fool out of himself. I was so proud that Jackson didn't pull or whine or bark at him. No barking, no pulling, just sat there with his head cocked in that sweet GSD way as if to say "What is your problem?"
