Meet Lexi our new addition to the Jarrah Jungle household!
Lexi's a Rottie x Staffie and 1.5 yrs old. I wanted a Rottweiler as I had 2 pet Rotties growing up on the farm and they are such smart confident dogs and Mr P likes Staffies, so Lexi was a perfect mix of both.
Lexi is our first child in the house ... she cries by the backdoor when she hasn't seen us for a while, she chews everything in sight and especially likes my garden supplies, she is learning how to fetch the ball and bring it back, not to mention needing constant affection love and attention. If that's not training for kids I don't know what is!

The lovely ladies at the centre told us she would need lots of love and patience to become confident again and we had to decide if we were up for the challenge and responsibility ... being first time parents and all it was a very big decision to make.
We went back the next day to pick Lexi up and $500 later took her home with us. Then we had our Lesson No. 1 in patience .... it took us well over an hour to coax her out of the car! Thankfully some leftover Xmas ham did the trick eventually!
Only 1 week on and Lexi already has a list of doggie dates lined up.
Lexi you're going to be a real heart breaker xx
