he stole my mom's rubber door stoppers he loves tennis balls so we're getting more of those or a solid rubber ball.

we're kinda used to the biting because I've had 3 dogs since puppies. chewed up my bike seats and pedals

squeeky toy would be another good addition. If he's interesteed with it, then you can start training fetch already. throw any toy away and when he managed to grab it into his mouth, call for him to come over to you.

lol. he's really good at fetch. he knows how to bring the ball back to whoever has thrown it... but he doesn't realease the ball I've tried the "exchange with treat" method... he ignored the ball and focused on the treat
"exchange with another toy".... have you seen a puppy with two tennis balls in his mouth? (only for a few seconds)

In case u don't know Jack Russell is the one on the show frasier.

Small white dog with brown patches.

I love my JR!

topic merged..

No one is interested in Terriers esp Jack Russell?

how tall and heavy do JRTs actually grow?

cuz mine's starting to look like a border collie already (he's mixed JRT and maltese but he's getting pretty big) but still so lovable nonetheless.

Some of his habits and odd character:

- His favourite TV channel is Playhouse Disney. We didn't want him to be lonely so we on the TV for him... and how we know tht Channel 63 is his fave is tht he poops in front of the TV when we put on a different channel! This happened a few times. When it's channel 63, no poop. different channel, got poop. Since when, we put channel 63 and no more poop his favourite programmes are Madeline, Jojo's Circus and Stanley. Also, TNA wrestling every friday.

- We couldn't exactly toilet train him... he developed a habit of going to the upstairs toilet and pooping in there. We didn't approve at first but then he would keep opening the door (no lock so we just close it) and pooping inside... also since then, he's kinda trained himself to poop in the toilet. So, when he feels like pooping when he's watching tv, he'd run upstairs to poop

- He loves playing with water! We put a large pail 1/2 filled with water and he'd splash the water, get himself all wet then charges into other dog that is dry We hope to take him swimming one day.

- my mom let him play with a 500ml 100 plus bottle one day. I told my mom that maybe he can open the bottle cap... and he managed! although it was only one time

There are 2 variants of Jack Russells: Jack Russell Terrier and Parson Russell Terrier.

JRT is around 6-8" tall at the withers and PRT is around 10-12" at the withers. JRT weighs around 5-6.5kg. More than that can be considered fat already or doesn't conform to the breed standard.

well, at least yours knows how to poop in a toilet. Piper will wait for me until i come back from work around 7pm the earliest.

anyway, i'm breeding Piper now. Found a good male JRT.

That's an odd attitute but very cute
What if you switch off the tv, what is his reaction? Will him throw temper?

hmm... He's much heavier. 9kg. I just think tht it's kinda funny cuz his mom's a maltese... so I didn't think tht he'd grow this big

good luck with the breeding!

If I'm at home and the tv is off, he's ok... but if the TV's off when we're not home... we can expect a HUGE mess! he'll be chewing up stuff

wow... really bad temper he has there

you should stop that habit; tv when you guys are not around.

nah... that's not a temper. He's just bored... A JRT! with no one to play with or even have around for at least 8 hours every day! We're glad enough that he can be entertained by tv.

technically, that'd be the appropriate thing to do but all this while, we don't train our dogs by the book. We understand them, their character and we come to a compromise. In return, we get wonderful protective companions who we can rely on. And I think Combi took after me. I'm in front of the tv anytime I'm home and sometimes even when I'm sleeping or eating.

You train your dog just like my mom. My mon train her until too manja liao. Really cannot tahan her. We have to take extra care when we are not around. We have to make sure there is nothing she can reach or else, she will "open party".
When ppl around, she will come and manja and sleep besides. She like to be with ppl but she dislike stranger, she will bite whoever stranger is tring to touch her hahaha

btw, she is a miniature pinscher

hrmmm, i think i should invite more gang to join LYN PW from other pet forums

hehe. yeah. It's my mom's training. My dogs are pampered but not spoiled though cuz my mom's strict. Just like how she trained me! I'm an only child and I get to "manja" but I'm not spoiled.

My dogs have the ability to understand how we feel about people. They can recognise who are out friends by how we react with the people who come over. Even when I just "pretend" to like someone, my dogs will know and would hardly entertain those ppl. If they know that I dislike some people, they'd bark at them

i guess all mini pinschers are the same =/ i've had 2 mini pins before this and still having this 3rd one (my CHH just died 4 days ago =( ) she does all those stuff except she loves chewing my fingers =.=

Hah, glad 2 c dat u've ur own terrier forum here. R u meeting with d JRT squad dis weekend?

There's no definate day and time also. I'm ok with saturday coz sunday i have to attend my colleague's wedding dinner. What's your suggestion?

Oh yeah, i haven't announce the event here also.

Any JRT owners would like to meet up this sat? at Puchong Lake at Tmn Wawasan. Time suggestion would be welcome since we haven't decide on the time yet
