She is very affectionate although she had a rough start in life and is still a bit nervous around loud noises. Jester is a male five year old Labrador. He s a big boofhead and loves a good play or a tummy scratch. They mostly live as outside dogs but come inside for a few hours each day in the morning and evening.

On walks, they get very excited and bark sometimes when they see another dog. Again, this may improve with regular walks. Both love playing fetch and bring back balls about 50% of the time.
