"Tory is half Corgi and half Jack Russell. She came to me at about 4 months of age, as a stray. She looked like a Beagle mix. I became so attached to her by the time her previous owner showed up, negotiations were made; I was able to keep her (very lucky day!). Discovered at that time, she's a Cojack, bred purposefully. I understand why people are breeding these mix breed dogs. These are fantastic dogs! Tory is about a year old now and I don't know what I would do without my pal. This girl was easy to obedience train; the trick is to make training seem like a game! She knows hand signals as well as whistle recall. You can see how happy she is to perform. She has an interesting MO when she plays with other dogs, she swings her back end around and uses it to block. She jumps straight up in the air when she's excited. She's agile and so fast! When she runs after something she's curious about, she cocks her ears up, and almost hops on her back feet to get a better view. Seems she can run for miles without a rest. Tory loves the water, and is always the life of the party. As long as I keep her exercised, she's the perfect little girl. Our main exercise, I ride, she runs along side my mountain bike, or I let her pull me on a Razor scooter. She goes nuts at the beach or dog parks. Loves to play with other dogs. She's the sweetest, no aggression ever, she's learning to stand up for herself; she would rather play or move on if there's no interest. I can trust her around all ages of kids and cats. Tory is very social and although she's independent, she does notice when mom is out of sight! Super smart, I would love to have another dog like her. I had her spayed at the appropriate age, as I don't believe in breeding dogs...but I can see why it would be tempting. This Cojack barks when appropriate, never yappy, but she does go into "crazy mode" when she wants to play, she lets me know in no uncertain terms, very vocal, but she makes me laugh! If it's not possible to play, she settles down on command but lets me know her frustration with a groan. She travels easily and always the perfect guest, crate trained and knows the program. I can't say enough about my special dog. Read something about the perfect mix of two breeds, and I couldn't agree more. However this dog isn't for everyone. These hybrids need a ton of exercise or they become destructive, toys are a must too. Something of their own to chew. As long as you have the time and the means to keep them tuckered out though, you have the best companion you'll ever want. I think Cojacks are the bomb!"
