my place so small... yours diff

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie and was looking forward to get a JRT pup soon.
I hope everyone here can give me some advice on how to take care of JRT.

I never had a pet before and dreaming of getting one since young. I stayed in a terrace house with medium-size garden, a lot of antiques stuff inside the house tho

Nice to meet you all.

Well... my friend owns one JRT.. its pretty fierce tho..

Ahhh... Go to this website --> www.therealjackrussell.com for info.

They are really active creatures. Mine likes to do laps around the garden for no apparent reason, jumping from 1 chair to another.

You'll need a firm hand in training. They're really smart dogs but you must constantly remind them that you are the ALPHA dog. They tend to challenge you at any moment.

Give your dog lots of exercise but of course, gauge your dog's energy level. My other JRT is less active and so, easier to train and hence, doesn't run around that much.

They are a great companion and tend to be quite yappy, i.e. bark a lot. They make great watch dogs too. ;-)

Anyway, the main thing with any breed or dog is to do your research... Prepare your house for the puppy and all should be well.

Some JRTs can be quite possessive and will not share their favourite human with other people or dogs.

Anyway, most JRTs are quite friendly. Just like any other dog or animal, if you're mean to it, they're going to be fierce.

Hi aragorn2976,

Thanks for the advice. Appreciated it. I visited a few pet shops today but unfortunately no luck of getting a jrt yet. None of them selling jrt in Penang at this moment.

Will try to get the Penang breeders contact number. I saw a few jrt up for sale in KL but I scared the pet will get tired and traumatized during the long journey home to Penang.

few hour in the car shld be fine i think...jus like u bring ur dog out for traveling....

i think he'll be more then happy to stay in ur car and enjoy the ride

Yeah. Just have to make sure that your dog won't get car sick. My dogs love the long rides. They feel the rocking motion of the car and terus go ZZZzzzZZZZZZ....

Anyway, good luck with your search!

Dear all,

Thanks for the info. I appreciated it.

Cheers,
