Jade

fascinating fawn female from Hunterdon County, NJ

Jade came into my life very unexpectedly. I was already owned by three dogs and was not looking to be owned by yet another! Jade was given up by her previous owner and through a sequence of events, I ended up with a beautiful fawn four-month-old pit bull puppy with green eyes. She was so beautiful but I did not know anything about pit bulls. Here we are two years later... she is still so beautiful, she is my best friend, and we have learned so much from each other. I have learned that pit bulls are truly the best dogs. They are lovers, they are protectors, they are intuitive, they are all knowing. She has learned to comfort me when I'm sad, make me laugh when I'm mad, and be there when I need a friend.

Since Jade's unexpected arrival into my life, I have experienced so many unexpected events. In my quest to learn more about her, pit bulls, and dogs in general... I became a certified dog trainer. While in dog trainer school, I met my future husband, a fellow trainer, who knew! I have also obedience trained Jade and as all pit bull owners know, they love to work and please their owners, so she's a great student. As a result of her training, we have had the opportunity to work on a short film where she was the main character, and she has even been on the Conan O'Brien show.

I never would have expected any of this from that first meeting with a then four-month-old pit bull puppy. But this is what you get when you love a pit bull, unexpected bliss.
