"Donna Chicone and her dog, Jazz have brightened the day for many families, here at Children’s of MN. Donna has a keen understanding of dogs, and the way in which she teaches people about them is very kind and approachable. Jazz was so much fun to watch, and his gentle disposition won our hearts! Donna and Jazz, together, transmit a unique loving spirit that has been captured by a live audience, and a TV audience, both of whom were watching the close-circuit TV program at Children’s of MN. Patients, families and staff have all commented on how Donna and Jazz’ visit made a big difference in their day."

Check out Jazz's Journal where Jazz writes a weekly entry about his current activities and adventures that include his sister Jive.
 
Jazz is an energetic dog who loves being with people and other dogs. He needs a lot of physical exercise and loves his walks. He needs mental stimulation and loves to find toys I hide around the house. He loves to snuggle with me and his favorite toys. Jazz also works with me as co-host of our TV show “Jazz and Jive's Dog Show” and joins me on speaking and public relation events.

Breed History
Portuguese Water Dogs were bred to work at the side of the Portuguese fisherman. They went to sea with the fishermen and would work the nets in the water. They would herd fish into the nets and are excellent divers. They carried messages from boat to boat and to shore. At night they would guard the boat while the fisherman was away. They are protective of their people or family and enjoy being with you wherever you go. They need a job and a purpose or they will find things to do on their own, which may not be things you want them to do. This breed also has a sense of humor and will do something every day to make you laugh.

Just Jazz
Jazz believes everyone is here to say hello to him. He looks at me in disbelief when someone doesn’t stop to greet him and pet him.
Jazz is a curious, fun loving and well-socialized dog. He loves going for walks and running in his backyard. He enjoys playing with his toys; his favorite toy is a stuffed penguin. He is a dog who loves people and other dogs. He also loves playing with his sister "Jive". The two of them are inseparable.

Jazz has competed in conformation and is trained in agility work and is currently taking Nose Work classes. He has achieved the Good Canine Citizen Certification and his certification as a therapy dog through Delta Society. He has also done a lot of obedience work and has successfully mastered several dog tricks. Jazz has absolutely no anxiety being around new people and especially enjoys playing with the TV crew. I will say working with a dog on camera and with a live audience is always eventful and full of the unexpected. Jazz is a very special dog and my wonderful partner in this venture.
