Action Jackson is the little terror of the Extreme Canine Stunt Dog Shows. He is a 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier. Dog Trainer Chris Perondi adopted him from an organization that is now called “Hope for Paws.” Jackson made a big appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show in 2008 doing his famous trick: the “Paw Stand”.
This is Dog Trainer Chris Perondi and his talented pup Super Sonic. Sonic is an 8 year old Australian Kelpie/Cattle Dog/Hound mix. She was a rescue from Farmington, CA. Chris adopted her as a puppy in 2002 of around 4 months old. Sonic’s has starred in an Animal Planet/Suzuki Car Commercial, has been in Dogs For Kids Magazine and also starred on the Ellen DeGeneres show. Sonic has a lot of personality, is a talker, and loves receiving belly rubs! She has the most lovable personality of my bunch by far! Her signature moves are weaving backwards through my legs (tail first), and dancing on her hind legs while juggling flying discs!
“This is a quick one. Jack the Party Dog (or “Bubba” as we call him) was right at the tail end of a MAJOR log-sawing session. Didn’t quite get the camera in time, but the look he gives me when he wakes up is PRICELESS!”

How do you make sure that sassy little Aussie becomes yours? Watch and learn, my friends, watch and learn…
First, you pretend to let her win at wresting…
Then you wait by her side… at the ready in case she needs a hand tackling a big ‘ol Rottweiler that weighs 5 times as much as she does…
Then you show her how fast you are — and you go chase that big ‘ol Rottweiler…
You go for the laughs. Really, how could anyone resist a dog who can find THE ONE mud hole on an entire 9 acres of property? She is certain to be impressed by that!
And who could blame you for trying? Because seriously — don’t we make just the cutest pair EVER? Clearly, she is meant to be mine.

Joe St. Georges, a 25-year veteran of the L.A. Fire Department suffered severe hand and arm injuries during this heroic helicopter rescue of Vernon, a German Shepherd.
“I knew the dog was scared and tired. It’s not too surprising that it was really upset with this big, loud noisy thing blowing all over it,” St. Georges, 50, said. “And then some guy comes and jumps on its back — what a surprise the dog bit me.”
