Jager on her 12th Birthday

Jager is the first Rottweiler to have come into my life. She was purchased as a pet quality puppy, but she has proven to be so much more than that.  Her registered name is Skretting's Court Jester and she graced my life at 13 weeks old, Jager has been the number one 'QUEEN' ever since. She was spayed at 15 months old, and continues her work as the BIG BOSS today!!

She has the personality and temperament that you would hope for in any dog and she has become quite a lovely ambassador for her breed. We love her and so we decided to give her a page on the site anyway, even though she is not part of our breeding program.

Jager was a demo-dog for me while I was assisting for an obedience trainer for a number of years. Now she has taken her place as our nanny and a super couch potato!  At 10 years old, she is surprisingly still active although in the past year, she has slowed down a bit.  She is still the first dog up in the morning ready for our walk.

Jager surprised us in June of 2004 by earning her very first title; her Herding Instinct Certificate (HIC).  She did so with pronounced droving abilities (as noted by evaluator Ron Gale).  She was excellent.  I think I totally missed her calling. 

Having said that, she has always done a great job keeping our others dogs together on walks .....

She is our grande ol' fart and we love her dearly. 

She is just the sweetest dog we could ever have and we are very thankful to have had 10 years with her so far, fingers and paws crossed that she will be with us for a while longer.

Jager sings to certain songs, brings toys to you when you get home (the residual effects of being raised with a Golden Retriever), grrrrrz like a tough dog but really means 'hey, check me out ....' and she just adds so much to our house. 

We could not have asked for a better Rottweiler to start with.

We had a birthday party for Jager in August 2008 to celebrate her reaching her 11th year.   She had some of her human friends there to help her celebrate, and of course, Seeker, Jewel and Ruckus were there to help her eat her cake!

 The girls all decked out for the party!
