A new type of K9?? No, this is Jake, the newest member of David and Monica Nichols' family. Jake is a Boxer puppy who was born on May 22, 2005. He is pictured here on August 8th, the day of his first Puppy Plan appointment when he weighed 11.7 pounds! This is going to be a big boy! Monica tells us that this puppy has no fear! He will go right up to all of the big dogs, including Jinx, his new Black Labrador Retriever brother. He's going to be a tough one!

Here is Jake on September 1 with his Mom and Dad, and big brother Jinks. These two have been friends since the first day that they met - Jinks has really taken Jake under his wing and is busy teaching him all he knows!
