Jack Russell Terriers

[Gallien Jacks]

I have herd of so many who either love or hate the breed, what do you all think?

ok i wanted this to be a poll but it wouldnt

 

[GSDMom]

I think they are adorable BUT too hyper for me

Gallien , I think it takes a special person to really enjoy any terriers. I like any dog, but I never could own a big dog in a small body. Your babies are beautiful though !

thats a great way to put it, thanks

Dont worry guys I dont mind if you dont like Jacks I say you either love them or hate them, everyone loves different dogs, if they didnt then there would only be one breed of dog!

I have two, so I'd have to say I love them.

After having the chance to train a wonderful basenji/rat terrier mix(in my siggy), it is safe to say that I will never willingly own a terrier.

I love them, had 2 when I was growing up. both females but only had one at a time. one was my brothers and one was my moms. I would have to say I love them. I agree with you that people either love them or hate them, but I would even go farther and say (atleast most of) those who love them actually love and hate them. not hate in a bad way...hard to explain. basically they can be a terrible pain in the butt, but it is atleast partly their pain in the butt attitude that endears them into our hearts.

My cousins had one when we were really young. Suffice it to say, I don't remember her that well. Terriers as a whole are not for me. Not to say that I wouldn't rescue one if needed, but I would never purchase one from a breeder, as I just don't think the Terrier group and me would g-haw (mingle.)

My Cousin has two, one male and one female. They are both very sweet and demand to be loved when they first meet you. The listen pretty good and are very attentive to him. They are amazing athletes. The have too much energy for me but they fit his lifestyle very well (he is kinda hyper too...lol)

Great dogs for the person on the go.


PS...His female is perhaps the best watch dog I have ever seen. She seems to know exactly what to bark at (eg Strangers at the dog) and what not to bark at ( eg Mailman). This might just be her because the Male he owns just doesn't seem to get the whole "watchdog" thing....

 

[Gallien Jacks]

lol yeo they are hyper dogs, when people know that we have a boxer as well they have said that is a silly mix! i dont understand this jacks never grow up and neither do Boxers so i think its a great family to have, even though I get no piece lol

I have a friend who judges, occasionally breeds, shows, works, and rescues JRT's, she has around 20 right now,,some of her own, some rescues. Let's just say from a die hard herding dawg person,,they ain't for me! LOL

They are cute as all get out, but I'll stick with my herding dawgs.

[Gallien Jacks]

wow 4 is enough at the mo

 

[gaddylovesdogs]

I think they're great dogs, just a bit energetic, stubborn, and at times, bratty LOL. Colby is all three. Those are some of the reasons I love her though.

hehe yep too true, i think i have soem gray ones living with 3 born on the 15th Aug (no matter how many times I try to work out the weeks i get it wrong lol)

 

[Gallien Jacks]

Ok i think they are 17 weeks today

 

[Gemi_Lee]

I love them! I thought about it for months before I got mine, because they are a hiper little dog........didn't know if I could handle one or not!!
Then for a week or two after I got him I wondered if I had made the right decision by getting him, but now I wouldn't take a thing for him just love him to death.
He is a live wire at times, stubborn and funny as a monkey......LOL....and very loving, loves everybody he meets!

O by the way your pups are pretty Gallien Jacks.

 

[bubbatd]

Gallien , I had a three-peat buyer that always gave me grief !!! I considered the 1st week from whelp day until 7 days old... she always said they weren't in 1st week until they were 1 week old !!! Whatever.. she got the pups when I let them go !!!

 

[Gallien Jacks]
