Jazzy, from our A litter, turned two last month. Her people shared the following photos and story with us:
“What a fun 2 years this has been. She is so different from the labs we have had over the years. We loved our labs but I have to say this Griff personality has won everyone over…She is the absolute happiest dog we have ever had. As long as she can be with one or both of us she is smiling! Once she gets in the woods (or on the pheasant/duck hunting property) she runs and leaps and her joy is contagious. When it is time to work, she puts that hat on. When it’s time for bed, she is in ours.
Her favorite person is her “dad”. She lays in his lap in the evening, despite her 62#! Maybe because we have so much time with her, I think she has a remarkable human vocabulary. She also does a lot of talking in the form of soft growls and whines. I’ve noticed other people saying that so it must be common in this breed. Resting her chin on an arm or leg is another way she communicates. It means it’s time for something – a treat, a potty trip, or time on a lap. Pretty hard to resist!”
