Haha... Yes, when I get back to KL, got to monitor her like a bodyguard. I usually will roll a newspaper and she gets the message.

Yes, JRTs are stubborn... Very..

Added on February 5, 2007, 8:09 pmCute buddy!! Congrats on your Jack. They're cheeky and notti.

You just have to be on top of things. We'll wait for him to get all his shots and when he turns at least 4 or 5 mths to come out to socialize.

May I ask, where did you get him from? I plan to get a 2nd JRT and am wondering if there's any good breeders out there.

Depends. With MKA, can cost between RM1000 to RM1500.

Not sure about breeder's price, tho...

About easy to teach, hard to say... They are kind of stubborn. You will need to vary your training, i.e. don't teach him sit/stay too long, he can't take it. JRTs look for challenge, best to challenge them.

However, about the smart part, they are..... Beware the JRT stare... It'll make you do things for them..

Added on February 7, 2007, 7:51 pmAlamak.. sounds like my Snoopy also...

She loves chicken, esp KFC. If she doesn't eat human food she won't eat her dog biscuits...

Now, my father is starving her. She is not happy and so, she'll be sulking the whole day...

Alamak... another fussy JRT.

Snoopy will do anything for food and that's why it is easy to train her.

I agree on learning more about the breed. Best to learn more at http://www.terrier.com.

Yes, a JRT will change your life. All your attention belongs to your JRT. Heheehe.. Be prepared to be exercised... A LOT!!

Hahahaa!!! What is with them and their stares???

Damn power 1....

Level 1: Stare at owner
Level 2: Stare more intensely... Use "jedi" power
Level 3: Woof
Level 4: Woof louder
Level 5: Jump and lick at owner...

Hahahaa... Snoopy sleeps in my parents room, in her own bed. At night, she will woof at my dad to ask him to wake up to open door to go pee pee or poo poo. Sometimes, she will lick the hand also.

There was one time no one heard her woof, and she did her business in the room near the door. In the morning, wake up and find brown "parcels" near the door!!

She sleeps on my bed sometimes but then, always want to return to my parent's bedroom.

Hahahaa.. I'm also looking for another JRT too since Snoopy is quite bored. Still need to convince my parents.

Can't wait to go home to KL to start looking for a JRT pup.

Hahahaaha.... That's cute.

Hehehe, No CKC because my parents don't like that kind of dog. Snoopy seems to only tolerate JRTs, maybe a Beagle.

My mom likes Westies but those are pricey and plus with the fur, we have to trim and etc., she might find the dog troublesome.

I'll be looking out for some JRTs. I know some petstores who have them but I prefer to get from breeder or a reliable petstore. Sometimes, I see some of the JRTs and I know they look like they came out of a puppy mill.

Wahhh... Any pics of Dookie?

I may try to get a broken coat. Hehehe.. Figured that if I get a male JRT, will name him Linus...

Added on February 10, 2007, 10:33 pmJenn, hojeff, so far, no problems with fur from my parents except for the cleaning part. Snoopy does shed a bit daily but will shed a lot during a couple of times of year.

My mom has no complaints and she's prone to asthma.

Anyway, I agree with getting from a proper breeder. Snoopy's parents came from Aust and they're healthy. Snoopy was the youngest and had a problem with her patella but otherwise, her siblings and parents are ok.

I need to get the big OK from my family first because we are committing ourselves to another dog. Snoopy needs a companion but they said that Snoopy is already tying them down.

Jenn77, it is close to CNY already, hahaha... lets hope that your CNY wish of getting a new dog will come true!

As for me, I'll still need to convince my parents. I told them that since Snoopy is a smoothcoat, she sheds a lot more. Broken-coats not so much...

hojeff, your furkid is very kwai-lo. We don't quite trust Snoopy and besides, we don't want her to hurt herself and so, we put her in a very large cage. It is big enough to fit 2 furkids.

Anyway in a couple of days I would be on my way home to KL!!

Can't wait to see my furkid...

BTW, have a great Valentine's day...

Hahahaha.. That bad-ar? Maybe they eat too much "kiam" (salty) things?

All dogs will shed. Snoopy sheds a lot more during certain times of the year.

hi all!!!

Finally back on m'sian soil!

I got Snoopy a new toy and she managed to destroy it in 30mins time. ... New record!

Anyway, Snoopy sheds a lot. It is because of the food she takes too. Maybe it is a bit too much salty for her.

Added on March 3, 2007, 12:03 amGreetings all!!! Kong Hei Fatt Choy!!!

Seems that Snoopy has just got fleas!! Alamak!!

Any good ideas to control the problem?

My Dad and I will have a lot to do to spray alot of insecticide around the house to kill these nasty bargers...

Not only that, her bedding and toys also got to be cleaned as well..

Aiyooo... Headache....

Waahhhh... Nice photos man!!

Anyway, been very busy until I pening liao.. Even Snoopy has been frustrated with me being so busy lately..

Oh well, I just took a look @ the great photos you and groovemaster posted. Really really great shots. Hehhee.. It is hard to photograph a JRT in action. If you can get them to pose for 2 minutes, it is a miracle!!

Yo folks!!!

Sorry for the long absence. Been very very bz from work, ever since I got back from UK a couple of months back.

Just got this piece of news from a fellow dog lover. Talks about the bravery of a little 9-yr-old JRT called George in NZ, who protected some kids from the attacks of 2 pit bulls.

Have a read...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/4044905a11.html

George is a brave little dog. May he rest in peace.

Yes. :nods:

Anyway, my dog never had the craze mating mood. Just the PMS thing when she was 6 mths old. Then, we knew, it was time to take her to the Vet..

...

Yes, for one thing if you don't intend to breed your dog, it is better to spay your dog. There are a number of health benefits in spaying your dog, like preventing mammary cancer for female dogs.

Anyway, her mummy got spayed after giving birth to her 1st and only litter as the owners did not want to have any more pups. Her dad also got neutered after he was found to be a bit aggressive towards his son.

Added on May 19, 2007, 6:49 pmHahahaha... ... Snoopy does this on grass.

Have you caught your dog doing the backscratch on the mat as well?

Snoopy does that too, especially after makan... Not sure why...

This post has been edited by aragorn2976: May 19 2007, 06:49 PM

Hahaha... Never realized it but yea, it does make them look like a sealion...

Anyway, won't be going to the Olympic Day tomorrow as family members got church duty.

You guys have fun, ok??? I'll be looking forward to groovy's pics.

huh??? Got such thing-ar?

I thought greenies is to strengthen teeth, get rid of bad breath and good overall system?

It makes my dog's poo go green though. Hahaha...

hi folks, i've been away for a very long time.

all i can say is, with any dog irregardless of breed, should be trained properly. however, some breeds have a tendency to be overprotective due to its nature, so, u hv to be aware of that. :-)

Ahhh... It's been a while since I've been here.. ;-)

Yep, best to watch your little pup while in the garden. Soon, he may acquire the taste for earth and digging!

That's what my little Rusty (Snoopy's new sibling) started. He started by eating grass and leaves. Now, he wants to venture into landscape redesign!! I've caught him eating grass (like a cow) and then, putting his nose in the dirt, subsequently trying his paw at digging.

Anyway, some plants maybe dangerous and so, keep a good eye on your pup when he's out in the garden. ;-)

Got a question for you folks here...

Rusty the PRT is going to turn 6 months soon and he's exhibiting signs of being a big dog, i.e. humping stuff.

We intend to neuter him soon but wondering if what's the best age to neuter him?

We've spayed Snoopy at about 6 months after she had her first heat cycle but not very sure for male dogs.

Thanks in advance.

LOL!!!! That is cute.

Snoopy the JRT does that all the time. Sleep, play when she feels like it. Can get "emo" if you don't take her out for car rides (got to cut down ever since the petrol price increase.. )...

Anyway, guess dogs have their urges. Some probably more aware of it than others..

I've read that for male dogs, it is better to spay them at about 9mths and above?
