omg, this is totally the best

hmm i have a jack russel! His name is Spikey and its a wire haired one, so the coat is extremely messy. He's around 6 years after i gave him away, really good dog. The lifespan is like around 10 years. This is a very very intelligent and active dog. Don't rear unless you have plenty of space to let it run.

It is intelligent enough to open his cage. My cage is those with a LATCH thingy where my dog just puts it hand and puched upwards. The latch opens and he's free.

The other thing which facinates me when he is eating garden snails. I dont know why he did that. He took the garden snail and put it into its mouth, he seems to be unable to bite the shell open. Well from my view, he uses his body, and slams it ontop of the snail. THe shell broke and he ate the snail... woah, so smart. Wished i videoed the whole ordeal.

Bull Terrier looks funny la their face... bengkak oni..

yeah...it's funny but it's banned in Msia.

Ya know how they get the name Bull Terrier?


Aiyume, If your mom does mind about those digging, JRT is not a suitable dog liao

Nairud, you should rename this thread to a Terrier appreciation thread or something.

Owning a terrier means you gotta have at least as much energy as your furkid. I swear, sometimes my terrier even wears me out, especially after I get home from work and I see her jumping from couch to couch out of her excitement to see me back. Never fails to perk me up after a bad day though.

Anyways, I'll be planning on getting a Westie as soon I get a place of my own. No other breeds but terriers for me!!

Pictures, pictures!


Awwwwwwwww....

yeah man!!! Terriers for life.

Jack Russell Terrierist to be exact

how much is JRT?

it depends. nowadays it cost at least rm1400.

unless ya know that breeder for quite sometime, you can get cheaper.

1400 for JRT puppy?

bull terrier...crazy dog...known as the fiercest dog ever.
chased by one b4 when i'm small...shud be ban earlier..haha

Don't blame the dog, BLAME the owner!

owners are the ones that should be blame for their untrained dogs. it's not a crazy dog. It's the upbringing of the dog that matters. try and compare a trained bull terrier and an untrained bull terrier. You'll get what i mean

Roncxy, which part of puchong you're staying in?

edit:
yeah. around 1.4k for a pup. You can get it cheaper too if you know the breeder

Guide to the Jack Russell Terrier

Happy yet prone to Mischief
Although Jack Russell Terriers are a "happy" breed, they are NOT as they are portrayed in the movies, on TV, or other forms of media. Those dogs are professionally trained and handled, and are very obedient only for VERY short periods of time. Celebrity dogs have their needs met by the trainer, and perform their jobs accordingly.

Dirt, Dirt and more Dirt
Jack Russell Terriers are bred to go underground, following scent to locate and bark at quarry until they are dug down to or the quarry bolts. If they do not have an outlet for their natural instincts, they will invent new and fun jobs for themselves, which frequently include guardian of the world and/or their possessions and family, chasing cars, hunting birds, bugs or leaves, or endlessly digging in the soil. Dirt is my friend

Bathing and Shedding
After getting dirty, Jack Russell Terriers are not overly fond of taking a bath (use a gentle shampoo). You do not want to bathe them too often as it can lead to dry skin. Please note that the Jack Russell Terriers is NOT a non-shedding breed! All coat types shed! Smooth coats shed the most, dropping hair continuously year round. Rough coats maintain the guard and dead coat, requiring manual shedding a few times a year.

Crate Training
A Jack Russell Terriers should always be crate-trained. They can be very destructive if left unattended! Most behavioral problems are due to a lack of companionship, discipline, activity and exercise. If you've only seen perfect, well-behaved JR's, they are ones that were lucky enough to be exercised, well socialized, and trained.

Love to Dig
Jack Russell Terriers love to dig. You might want to say goodbye to your flower bed. They can also dig under, climb or jump over fences; some can climb trees and any height chain link fencing. The traits and skills that make them excellent hunting dogs (i.e., digging, barking, aggressive nature) are often interpreted as bad habits that cause people to give them up.

Aggressive Toward Other Dogs
Jack Russell Terriers are often aggressive with other dogs. Same-sex aggression and aggression towards other breeds of dogs is well documented with this terrier. It is strongly recommended that no more than two Jack Russells (of opposite sex only) ever be permitted to stay together unattended.

Big Dog ... Little Body
Jack Russell Terriers are are a big dog in a little body. They have the same need (or more!) for exercise as a much larger dog... and the mentality to match -- they think they are at least 150 pounds, and are fearless, often challenging other dogs three times their size.

About those Small Animals ...
Jack Russell Terriers are commonly known to harass, injure or kill other small pets, such as cats, birds, rabbits, mice, rats, etc., simply due to their strong natural hunting instinct. Raising a puppy with a cat does not guarantee the cat's life-long safety!

Children
Jack Russell Terriers will not tolerate even unintended mistreatment from a child. They will not put up with typical child handling such as pulling of ears, tails, etc., or taking or "sharing" of the dog's bones, food, toys, etc. Jack Russells are not recommended for households with children under the age of six unless you are previously experienced with JRTs.

Breeding
Jack Russell Terriers make wonderful parents. However, breeding is risky business and should not be undertaken lightly. Breeders should follow the Breeders Code of Ethics, have their breeding stock BAER and CERF tested, and breed only to JRTCA-registered terriers.

Loved by their Owners
Jack Russell Terriers can become very possessive of their owner or a favorite member of the family or of what they consider to be their personal property if allowed to do so to the point of showing aggressive protective behavior that must be controlled from an early age.

On the Run
Jack Russell Terriers absolutely need a securely fenced yard! Jack Russells will roam due to their hunting instincts.... even if left in an unsecured for a few minutes! You can let them out every day for three years with no trouble.... but one day they will disappear and may never come back. Many JR's have been killed by cars by darting into the road in pursuit of a squirrel, cat, etc.

Fearless
Jack Russell Terriers are fearless and require firm, consistent discipline. They are extremely intelligent, continue to test their limits throughout their life. More often than not, train their owners before the owner knows what has happened! This ability to train their owners can include displays of aggressive behavior. Their assertive nature must be understood and handled properly!

JRTs Around the World
Jack Russell Terriers can be found throughout the world. There are large concentrations of the breed in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, Sweden, South Africa and many other countries.

Long-Term Commitment
Jack Russell Terriers require a long-term commitment to obedience, activity, exercise and entertainment... their unique character, intelligence and high energy level can frustrate you, will undoubtedly entertain you, and can bring you great joy or great grief. If this type of relationship does not appeal to you, then consider another breed.

sigh...
my Piper kena skin infection already. kena "Mites".. got it from another dog. just took her to a vet and injected with something for RM35 and some anti biotics.

sorry alkt, can't jaga your Goldie coz it's infectious.

Speaking of terriers, i think rotts and pitbulls have the same attitude and temper... but why is it pitbulls are banned in so many countries around the world while rotts can go for competitions? Rotts mauling small kid, old lady... i've seen some people owning pitbulls but've never heard about them mauling anybody in M'sia so far. I heard a fully grown pit can finish a rott in approx 5 seconds.

there you go, you had your answer already.
Bear in mind that the Pitbull was originally bred as a fighthing dog and rottie is bred as a guard dog.

oh.. but then pits can be trained for working line as a guard dog either... which ithink will be more efficient than rotts...

What about Yorkshire Terrier? Anybody selling it? Any petshop that you guys known selling it? How much does it normally cost? Is it easy to take care?

Yeah, Pet shops do sell them. I'd recommend you to get from a breeder. You can call up MKA and ask for Yorkshire terrier breeders who's expecting a litter or having a litter now. That if you're planning to get one now.

For their temperament, what you expect from it is the same like all other terriers. it is ever eager for adventure and trouble. This little dog is highly energetic, brave, loyal and clever. Affectionate with its master, but sometimes suspicious of strangers. It can be aggressive to strange dogs and small animals. In other words, it has true Terrier heritage.

Very well said...

My sis got hers for about RM3000...

3k for a yorkie? When and how old is the yorkie now? seriously, i think it's too exp for a yorkie.
