These are the things or rackets you get from having a JRT. Any questions about it, feel free to ask, i'll be glad to answer and clear things up for you.



This is what Piper did to get the cat *This is not Piper*

i heard that JRT are very hyper kinda breed right? need alot of attention and running space? my sis say she wanna have one......

yes. They are hyperactive. as long as you can spend like 1-2 hours daily to play with them then it's ok. if not, they'll either bug you to play with them by picking up toys and put on your lap no matter how many times you throw it away OR they'll destroy things in your house to get your attention.

best is to play with them b4 you leave them or b4 sleep. Mental stimulation is the keyword here

Space wise...as long as you have a porch and grassy area, it'll suffice.

where does your sis stay?

This post has been edited by nairud: Oct 20 2005, 05:28 PM

opps, didn't notice your post.
Yeah, popular but don't get fooled in thinking every JRT you see is like what you saw in those movies and sitcoms. They need firm training.

Besides, they're one of heck of an intelligent dog.

But i thought all terrier dogs are ban from malaysia?or was it pit bull?
Got to love terrier though.

not terriers ler.
those bull bull mixed with terriers are banned.

how cute..

does the cat and the dog is kissing?? why they both mouth to close

kissing?
no la..that cat wanna eat that fella's food. show teeth to warn them off lor

lolz!
btw... they are really active... your's kah???

nopes. in the third post, the first 2 pics are mine. planning to get another JRT next year

y to lazy???
u often go out or jalan2 with them just to make them healty???

she's lazy ar? that time she's on heat..like human, period. so no energy.

i go out jalan2 every morning and nite with her. use up some energy mah,..if not middle of the nite sure kacau me wan....

they'll find ways to use up their energies, JRT.

opwh.....
only 1 dogs kah???? no more???

err....she stays with me? heheh......we stay together....with our family lah.....she 20 years old only.....

my house has porch, has grassy area but not very big.....and we have MOM....she and her flowers.....

what's the reason of banning those?

err...forgot to tell you that JRT likes to dig. They are bred to go underground to flush out foxes. if you mom is ok with having the JRT dig around your lawn

furthermore, do you guys reared any dogs b4? for those who's taking JRT as their first dog, it's not recommended for them to take this kinda breed. most ppl in the states usually will give them up for adoption because they never expect JRT to be out of their imagination. I, myself, have been rearing dogs since 3 years old and only dared to own a JRT 1 year plus ago. I still have another 5 more mixed breed dogs in my hometown.

Take this interactive profiler and see whether your sister or even your family is up to the requirements to own a jrt. Here I'm not trying to put you guys off but it's better off to check whether you're up to the tenacity of a JRT or not.

we only had one dog last time.....erm....at least 15 years ago loh.....those short hair dog dunno what breed.....but we have to give her away coz moved to apartment cannot rear dogs....

i think my mom will mind about that digging part....dogs cannot live with flowers and flower pots.....they are enemies.....

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.

This post has been edited by Acey: Nov 5 2005, 07:17 AM

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.

Yorkshire? i think i've seen it around 1.6k, max i've seen is above 2k

erm. cheapest u've seen?
the price u've seen is from pet shop or breeders?

i met a JRT with very "hard" fur in the halloween party....she was soooo cute....will begbeg for very long time for the food....

even when i asking other dog begbeg...she will still do the begbeg position and look at me. haha...miss her a lot.


she is one of the JRT at the center 1.

OMG!!. the standing girl with jeans 2nd from left.
isnt dat a yorkshire terrier?
god!! so cute!! <3

nope, that is silky terrier...look like yorkie..but the fur is more shining
the dog the left most guys carrying 1 oso silky terrier, but still very young , the hair havent change color yet.
both of the dog very stick to their owner. *so lovely*

It's a he. The name's Benny

here is the kiki and doudou picture, very cute and pretty, right?~

omg!!. are those puppies urs??.
silky terrier rite?
but i still prefer yorkshire larr :'(
how much did u get ur silky?

just saw this thread

wanna show off my JRT + Maltese pup. His name is Combi and I adopted him last week. He should be around 5 months old.



Very cute lil fella. nice to cuddle when I sleep! My mom pampers him like mad. He's really active but sometimes when he sleeps... takes up alot of space.. have to push him around and he doesn't bother waking up
Loves his tennis balls. sometimes chase after the ball but can't break... crash into the door

I have 2 adult dogs that tolerates with him but Combi think's that he's big enough to bully the bigger dogs

handsome JRT.. so envy~ i definately will get it after i graduate

Nice one. And yes, since your Combi has JRT genes, they're crazy over balls and also just becareful with the other 2 adult dogs. JRT tends to think that they're as big as other big dogs eventhough they're in a small body. They feel that they can take on anyone anytime anywhere.

no la, i wish they was mine too...
is my friend 1..she get the male with cert around RM 1.2k (Champion Line)
the female without cert around RM800

Silky Terrier is so nice....

my fav is ShihTzu and AST ... but too poor to buy any

hehehe.

yeah.. I noticed tht. I'm just worried though about leaving him home alone for 8 hours when I go to school. my mom suggested to put him with my adult female dog since she tolerates him better and she's more gentle...

is that alright? or should I just leave him alone in the house?

you can put them together as long as you're sure that they will not attack Combi. from the time you got combi until now, did combi get into any trouble with them? if not i'm quite sure that they'll get along well.

edit: just remember that as long as combi knows his place in the pack, it'll be ok. unless suddenly combi has the urge to be the leader of the pack, just keep an eye out.

This post has been edited by nairud: Dec 21 2005, 04:56 PM

lol. my adults dogs, at least my female is alright. she has this big-sisterly instinct towards combi. she even lets him eat from her bowl and he's the one growling at her

my adult male dog is more like the strict uncle. he'll allow you to poke around all you want until he gets really irritated then he barks and sometimes snaps at the naughty one but without any intention of hurting. he just scares the lil fella.

I'm just afraid tht combi would think tht he's the big guy there. he has tried barking and growling at my big dogs before but this afternoon's play session was alright.

then i guess it's ok. you don't have to worry too much already.

left combi home alone for 12 hours today.... not alot of damage but half of my comic book gone

it's a terrier fgs. that's why they need attention and exercises to fully occupy their mind. Get some nyla bone, some chewable toys. Let combi wreck havoc onto them instead of your stuffs.

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

Some quotes n pics on local JRTs 2 share.

rite on groovemaster.

anyway, this morning, piper was up the whole nite walking around , jumping onto my bed, etc and the worst was jump onto the window pane while sustaining her body on her two front legs. I woke up because of the constant scratching on the wall by her back legs.

I guess the damn rat managed to come into my room thru the balcony again at nite. gotta get a rat cage and set it on my roof top already

Don't tell me piper do another superman thing ar

almost.. earlier this morning she was standing at the window there already..i was like WTF lucky the window is not opened that wide. she just.....stands there. Took her down and was about to sleep again when i felt something jumped onto my bed again, it's piper. she was getting all nervous and jumpy. dunno why also. The next thing i know she jumped onto the window again but she can't climb up fully since i closed the window already prior to this.

I'm suspecting it's the damn rat. saw that rat running out to the balcony 2 days ago when i entered my room. all this while there's no rat at all...

Junior, ???, Groovy

Eh, u know Junior as well. ??? = Snowy, really small female JRT (but nobody is smaller den 50sen), also enjoys a good wrestle like Piper. Doing OB at Tmn Desa n pretty good at it, very rare 4 JRT. Can actually stay still 4 quite awhile ... just like Piper.

C dat Piper is still fairly active, thot dat she already got knocked up by Benni. So she's still up 2 playing with d boys den or is she already showing signs.

Here's another pic of Snowy. Hey she even sits like Piper, must b a female thing. Notice how d guys n girls sit differently.

'Show dogs sit in a unnatural manner ... hence why v'll never b show dogs.'

This post has been edited by groovemaster: Mar 2 2006, 01:23 PM

I knew Jasmine and Junior way b4 i know you guys. Coz Junior and Piper came from the same breeder

Her activeness toned down a bit already. Now in the car, she'll just lie down on the seat and rest last time..fui yoh, look here and there. But then yesterday she vomitted green colored liquid. dunno what is it also but she looks normal to me.

So confirm dat she's gonna b a mum or still cant tell yet...

I'm not sure yet... but i think most prolly she'll be a mom and i hope it's not the promethis(dunno correct spelling or not)/puss in urethra.

she doesn't have appetite anymore and yet i can see her rib cage like full only. Next weekend will bring to vet to check her out

Had an adhoc gathering at my place with Piper, Fifty, Jack, and Wa Wa the miniature poodle. As usual, Piper act as the big sister esp when Jack started barking around :haha: Sure kena whack from Piper.

Anyone up for a jungle trekking this sat at bkt gasing?

U still brought her 4 JT last weekend...wat bout dis week?

Prices r with cert. Check out some of d previous posts in dis thread 4 deir traits. Like Nairud said, not recommended for 1st time dog owners unless u r d active n outdoors type coz dis fella needs LOTS of EXERCISE n PLAY . Usually healthy, hs a long life n is s small breed, not more den 15" in height at d withers.

Here r some of deir traits:
D Good
JRTs ... small mutt with big attitude n personality, natural performer, brave, tenacious, independent, inquisitive, quick learner, determined, fearless, adventurous, playful, alert, energetic, fast, agile, acrobatic, sturdy, healthy, long life, low maintenance, sense of humor, cheeky appearance.

D Bad n D Ugly
On d other hand ... feisty, possessive, stubborn, persistent, curious, mischievous, tendency 2 roam, must b on leash ... love 2 lunge, pull, tug, run n jump, chases cats n squirrels, easily bored, cant sit or stand or stay still 4 long, need lotsa exercise, seeks attention n activity, leap b4 u look mentality.

can't join this week... gotta fetch my gf go for interview

Oh,so its not recommended for beginners.
Well,i'm a beginner,but i'm active.Maybe will get it later when i have more experience.

If u r fairly active n enjoy d outdoors n exercise, den still possible. But u'll hv 2 read up on K9 training methods coz dis breed will climb all over u if u gv dem an inch. Also can be feisty, bordering on aggressive...which means u need a firm hand 2 handle dem.

Must b willing 2 play with d fella for > an hr/day, playing till dey r tired is barely sufficient...till d point of exhaustion is more deir style . Dey need some space 2 run offleash preferably, 2 let off all dat steam.

U shld also hv a good sense of humour coz trouble is deir last name.

Mayb u cn check out n try handling some of ur friend's or forumer's JRTs personally, just 2 gv u a flavour of wat 2 expect.

ok.Well,i wont be at home in the morning,but will be back in the afternoon.
I play football everyday and go to the gym.
But for JR,do u leave it outside or inside the house?
