OK, so before I get the ribbing I know is coming, when I first purchased Jasper he was attacking his previous owner and did nothing but strike the box all the way home, so I THOUGHT he was gonna be a touch nasty. However, I think a weaner and a small rat has calmed him down a touch.
As you can see he is deep in shed mode, but acted perfectly (NEVER allowed near my head), didn't strike once either. All in all I handled him for a good 10 mins and he went back to his rub without a fight. Man he is strong!
Excuse the chava jacket, I was prepared for a battle so wore clothes I didn't mind being bitten.
Cannot wait for him to shed as he looks to have a brownish tinge to him, but you never know till they are wearing new clothes.
All in all one happy owner. |

| I'm expecting 6-7ft, more than that and I will have to pretend he is smaller, or someone in the house might have words. |

| really I don't mind. It's amazing how your mind changes, I sold Surf (mainly as I got a bloody good offer) as I didn't want a BIG carpet, 7 monthsish later I don't mind |
