Shake according to Marjo:

Shake is The Dog for me. My lovely brown bushy tailed boy. I have concentrated on his training from very early on with a special interest towards agility.

We live on the countryside and see very few people and dogs on daily basis. This has been a bit challenging since we have had to specially arrange it if we want to meet people or dogs. Walking past either has been a bit hard since Shake wants to go and greet everyone.

Shake is quiet and calm around the house. He does keep an eye on everyone at home though. You can tell he's extremely pleased when he carries a toy in his mouth and makes little growly noises, which I find very endearing and I love that sound.

Shake is a real kissy-machine. He also likes to hug; he comes very close and presses his head against my neck. He is a bit overly excited when meeting new people and dogs. However, he reads other dogs well and submits readily. Although if someone starts to boss him around, Shake will retaliate. He is simultaneously soft and hard. He can't stand being ordered around too loudly since he doesn't like loud noises.

Shake was supposed to train in agility, obedience and tracking. Instead, we have mostly done agility, search and obedience. We have also tried tracking and herding.

As an agility dog, Shake is simply tremendous. He reads my body well, is fast, flexible and brave. And loud! He puts his heart and soul into completing the course and always gives his all. It's easy to motivate Shake since he loves food and playing tug with his toys.

In obedience, he's determined and quick to learn.

Shake will become a barking search dog. We are both very keen on the sport.

Shake is an incredible family and sport dog. I could not have asked for a better dog!
