Hello all,

I am new here and also new to LYN.
Good to see a good number of JRT community in Malaysia.
I still find it rare even when I walk around Desa Park on weekends.

I owned a 1.5 years smooth coat male named Bullet.
Its a real Bull and fast like bullet.

Looking to get a second JRT, prefarably wired/long coat, female and tri-colored. Will make do with just white and black if cant get Tricolor.
Anyone got contacts ?

some pics of my mutt Bullet.

where all the JRT kaki went ?? Helloo ?
Any dog shows or social event coming up beside the Pet Exhibition in Mid Valley and UPM Dogathon ?

What you all doing in a chinese cemetry ?

Hahahah thats interesting... never thought of it that way. I usually bring mine to the park near by late night and let him run all he wants without leash.

Added on May 18, 2012, 4:29 pmAllow me to share my experience,.. I am not hyping or marketing any products but I;ve gone thru the same thing.
My JRT Bullet has sensitive intestines and very prone to rashes from the food he takes. Chicken products give him rashes so i switched to fish based kibbles. Started of with Nutrisource Pure Vita Salmon & Potato (cheap), then I switched to Lamb & rice. The lamb formula produced bad and soft stools so I switched back to fish based again. I always change brands whenever I finish up a 10-13kg bag. Some brands comes in 3-5kg only.

List of kibbles I;ve tried over the 2 years. Note that its all Fish based.

Nutrisource Pure Vita
Taste of the Wild (my fav, tastes good) yeah i eat what my dog eats.
BritCare - (cheap and good)
Acana
California Natural
Evo - darn expensive

Occasionally I add on some canned food by Natural balance / Evo / Britcare / Addiction.
I always top up BUllet's food with additional Salmon or fish oil, the omega acid helps with the shinny fur and less shedding. I would recon you to use My Beau supplements.
On this fish based diet,.. Bullet shed bout 40-50% less when he was on the lamb formula.

Recently after the last pack of kibbles gone, we switched to Raw food diet or BARF diet to some people. I avoid giving daily, once a week with bones. To my surprise,... Bullet shedding only about 5-10% now. Awesome! Salmon is expensive so we use frozen Dory fillets. results are great, he is now more lean and muscular.

Added on May 18, 2012, 4:39 pmMaybe i am just too particular and because of my JRT being so sensitive, I avoid those brands above for some reasons :

1) by products
2) not grain free

SC Diet will turn my Bullet red all over upon feeding.
Smooth coat JRT do shed a lot, but their diet can help and make a difference. Every dog is different.
So change your kibbles and find the best one that suits you and your dog.
Mine is on Raw food diet now, lost weight (fats) in one week. In that same week I saw my dog poop less, shed less, more active.
Preparing the food weekly is one hectic work, but its really worth it.

Added on May 18, 2012, 10:35 pmMate,

Please study up on the breed that suits you. JRT is not meant for beginers, it will out smart you in every ways.
You need to be stern and like Cesar Milan said "calm and assertive". I share with you my experience, Bullet is my first dog and been 2 years now, he still goes his own ways. But good to know that he listens and obidient in public.
Just overly excited with other dogs, if you have an active lifestyle then yeah JRT suits you, if you can dominate and be a strong pack leader yeah go a head.

JRT is not a spoil pooch, terriers are ferocious..... they bite and nip a lot. If you count, terrier actually bite more than any other banned breeds. If you watch dog whisperer enough, you will notice that all the biting and nipping problematic dogs are terrier breeds. Commiting to a dog is like having a child on your own mate. Think carefully, if you are a couch potato and always have someone at home, get a French Bulldog, or any other companion breeds like poodles, schnauzers.

JRT will hunt, seek and kill anything that moves, roaches, lizards, rats, they are bred for ratting and burrow hunting. They instincts amazes me till today, it will not let anything it hunt walk away alive.

Another sad case in Subang last week, MPSJ now banning Bull terriers, they are just the most adorable bred. Clown terrier!

See you guys this Sunday.

Chris,
THere is a BARF diet topic going on in this forum too. You can look up BARF Diethere, thank god Bullet aint particular with his food, he eats everything and anything.
Do read up and research, maybe u can give it a trial for a week and see if yours likes it or not. Good thing about preparing your own dog food is the versatility! You can put anything you want or like like cooking up for your own family. One week beef, next week fish, sometimes lamb, sometimes mutton, some times mix....just google up on BARF or RAW food recipes. You can choose to cook or feed it raw. Dont have to follow em like a religion or a cult, its up to you.

If you do plan to switch,.. pls blend and puree your veggies. Dogs dont have bacteria to break down veg and fruits like cows. My first trail was rather amusing, I didnt mash the peas and carrots and it comes back out theu his rear pieces of peas and carrot. Puree and blending it easier for the intestines to absorb the nutrient needed.

I dont give any grain to mine.

Calsium - Milk, yoghurt, cheese, raw bones, yakult/vitagen (active live basilius prebotics bacteria for digestion)
Vitamins and fibres from fruits - banana, brocoli, carrots, spinach, alfafa, apples, pears, (with skins!), tomatoes, garlic...etc
Carbo - Yam, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cooked rice, peas, beans like chickpeas (farting food)

Liver is rich with Iron and its cheap. you can get free chicken livers from market sometimes.
Ideally 1/3 to half part must be meat, dog gets most energy from processing protein.
Add other supplements may it be in powder or liquid.

Restricted food for dogs - Onions, chocolate, some say grapes. (http://dogs.about.com/od/dogandpuppyhealth/tp/toxicfood.htm)

hiatu is just a ter
m for going missing and quiet. Lol. So difficult to look up dog events that arent MKA COMPETITIONS. Years ago plenty, almost 1 event every quater.

Nice markings! exactly what i am looking for, wired coat with nice markings.
Anyone seen tri colour JRT in klang valley?

Yeah,.. good poise and pose.... hmm how come my Bullet's fur so much shorter compare to all other pics posted here hahahah.

Nairud,

Any pups coming soon?

The full white face looks like a very potential ribbon winner.
Curious looks, nice structure, muscular and pose is good.

as long you dont live in a high rised condo or appartment i think you can own a JRT.
Just need to let them lose in a park once a day and always come up with creative ideas to depleted their energy.
I dont live in a bungalow,.. just normal terrace house, go to know that i can still keep mine under control.

Congratz again. Adorable pups!

Noted. Wasn't selling any just sharing info.
