at first i thought i had a minicher pincher and its already damn terrible also i can cope with it ... this terrier is worst

first of all, you should study and understand jrt before getting one..

jrts is like this especially males..

tips:
use a roll up newspaper to whack him
must be on the spot and not after he done it..
use 1 simple command "NO"..

i have 4 jrts at home and all of them roam free in my house.. i can do it, why can't u?

jrts needs alot of attention.. they r full of energy and u need to exercise them or play with them to release it's energy.. if not, they will DO something to get your attention..

IMHO,.. try changing to wet food or home cooked food. Water intake doesnt mean it has to be from drinking source, cook stew, soupy based food to helps your dogs to take in all those moisture.


Seems to be a very common thing for Local bred JRTs. Find out what your dog is allergic to and cut that food source out,,,.. its doesnt have to be hypoallergenic (which cost more).... if you dog is allergic to chicken cut that out from its diet. FRead your dog's food ingredients.... google up on how to read and understand ingredients. Some has chicken Fats, byproducts...avoid those ingredients.
i practice changing food all the time rotate over few brands,.. mainly stick with Fish based kibbles, currently on natural balance, but also love Acana & TOTW. Eukanuba, BRIT


JRTs to me are the smartest breed in the dog kingdom,... so easy to train and always trying to outsmart you. if you are not prepare to keep them busy and excercise them, prepare to buy new furniture, patch up holes in gardens, neighbor complainings on noisy barks...etc Most JRTs pick up tricks fast within 3-4 tries.

just what I need!! thanks man.
My bullet needs a companion.... he getting very very corny.

It's not because of local bred, it's common on jrts because of pigmentation.. Most white color furr dogs r like this.

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the late reply.. was caught with hectic work. I'm not sure about other brand of dog food. Royal Canin S/O urinary was recommended by my vet for my dog's condition. It is a prescription food where I can only get it at vet..not pet shop.

Now my lil precious is taking Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 cap with his food. He used to take it when young, few bottles a year up to age of 3 or 4. Then we stop. Recently, we started back on ACV and it seems like his bladder stone symptom is reducing. So i hope it is helping him.

Hi, my dog most of the time is on wet food. Since young, he doesnt like the dry knibbles. So what we did we soak it with water and some days we just feed him rice + chicken. Now, we have reduce his rice intake and feeding him the knibbles more, as recommended by our vet. This time we soak with lots of water, like eating soup and add 1 cap of ACV with it. He's okay with it. At least he has more water intake now. And some days we give him salmon canned food, for his fur coat. As previously he was having some sort of skin allergy, maybe overdose of chicken. Now we have stop giving him chicken and feeding him with salmons. Can see tht the fur coat improves but not sure its from the salmon or the ACV. As ACV also helps on skins as well.

Hi all....my naughty boy....ard 8 yrs old.liaw


Attached thumbnail(s)

hahaha.. nice shot!!

Never ever touch it even he is not "using" it....he'll defend his stuff.....hahaha
now i m thinking finding him a gf to live w...

wow, just found this thread
I have a "small" JRT, maybe mixed abit, but every bit as naughty has any JRT.. adopted the fellow from SPCA last year. He used to be a monster but now a lot better already, learned a lot of tricks too

hahaha.. my husband said to me, the best time to have a JRT is when they are 10yrs old n above.. coz already mellow down. although still cheeky and notty, but slower pace..

Haha.. True. My JRT girl coming to 11. She still know her tricks but unwilling to learn new ones (stubborn). My JRT boy coming to 6yrs - a bit more mellowed but still naughty!! As for energy level, I'm surprised that my girl still can have bursts of energy!!!

My friend had a JRT that just passed away at 19yrs old. These fellows are running on different battery

Here is a vid of him playing with other dogs:

Noticed my jrts starts to mellow down around 2 yrs above..
anyway take good care of them, my 4 yrs old is half paralyzed due to she trying to climb out of cage and fell down.. Now undergoing therapy..

Hi chris, mind sharing what therapy she under going? My JRT have weak legs, sometime if he run or jump too much, when he settle downs, can see that his front leg will shiver for awhile. i did check with my vet and he said that its just old age problem.

Hi June, for your case maybe supplements can help..will check it out for you. I give my jrts spirulina n iron tablets once a week. Goats milk and cod liver oil daily..
as for therapy, exercise and move her legs several times a day. Each session around 10 mins.

19!!!

Ok. Gives me a lot of hope for my girl. She's a gentle girl... Very lovable. Can't resist licking humans.

Chris,

Hows mummy JRT doing ?

Something for all JRT owners and newbies,... do you believe when poeple say poodles are the most inteligent breed? i don think they ever owned a JRT
or met Jesse the infamous JRT.
