I got Zapper when he was 1 year old. A local breeder had him and his brother that she had kept from her last litter and said she would sell me one of them. They were named Johnny and Jake. When I went to look at them, "Johnny" tried so hard to get to me. They were in a fenced in yard and he would jump on his brother's head to get to me. He just kept trying so hard to play with me that I couldn't ignore him. So, Johnny became Zapper and now he lives in the lap of luxury. He truly is my best friend and we are together 24/7. I have spoiled him so bad and loved every minute of it :)
