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.'

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

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.

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.

U seem pretty active. Most people I know keep dem indoors coz dey r prone 2 investigating any movement or sound, hence may rush out 2 d road ven d gates r opened. Think most owners prefer deir pets indoors unless dey r too big or clumsy...but hey, d Gwailohs even hv Labs, GRs n GDanes running inside deir houses!

JRTs r small n will fit nicely indoors. With indoor pets, think its more fun n enjoyable coz u'll hv another shadow following u around n u get 2 c all deir habits n funny rituals. Of course, with a JRT in d house, u'll den hv 2 put up with d perpetual request 4 playtime.

If u get 1 from nairud's litter, d JRT pup will look something like dis:

or dis,

but not dis,


Either way, pup will be pretty good looking.

JRTs come in smooth (short), broken (medium) n rough (long) n all 3 coats will shed a fair bit.

Dun worry bout d JRT having 2 look after itself, dey r a very feisty breed...worry more bout ur Lab getting pushed around instead . Best 2 read up on how 2 handle a couple of dogs in d house, coz d JRT wun shy away from d 'Top Dog' routine.

JRTs usually get along better with d opposite sex, hence a male JRT may gv more face 2 ur female Lab. Labs r usually a very gentle breed n most JRTs, I've seen get along very well with d gentller breeds...coz can bully n take advantage of dem

Hah, I'm just as lost on matters pertaining 2 delivery. Better hv a word with others who hv hd litters b4 or read up on it.

Dat pic ... yah, JRTs r at deir element ven dey r soaked in a puddle/ mud, with ball in mouth. Look closer n u can c dem grinning from ear 2 ear.

Hey, very nice pic of Piper!

Yah d smooth coat is more popular n u c more of dem around town. Perhaps bcoz d broken n rough coats r harder 2 find. Here's a pic of all 3 coats together.

Yarman, Jack Russell Enthusiasts n Racers of KL (J.E.R.K.), cool. Will b up 2 owners demselves 2 set it up. JR Hurdle Racing wld b great fun but very difficult 2 find a large enuf field 4 such an event, dun even hv a dog park in dis country. Also need a mechanism 2 drag d cloth at around d course at speed, where 2 find?

Here's a site with short clips on JRT hurdle racing, dun blink ... http://events.purina.com/dogs/events/index.aspx?medialist_12

Dun think Msian dog owners hv reached such a passionate level...ready 2 spend quality time with deir dogs n embrace dog sports as a real hobby. U'll b hard pressed 2 find >20 JRT owners who r interested in outdoor activities n d races. Bsides, how 2 find such location n facilities 4 racing lah, especially in dis country! But who knows, a few yrs down d road...

D Chiam I know of hv already left d co.

Dog OB lessons r held at Jln Gasing/Templer, Tmn Desa n Subang n usually cost bout RM150 for 10 lessons.

Main thing bout setting up a club is 2 find a dog friendly field or park where members can meet up n enjoy some activities with deir pooches or even just laze around 4 a picnic.

Hey, almost exactly like a JRT especially d temperament. Only d ears n eyes r different. Must b pretty active as well.

JRT std: Ears should b small V shaped n dropped, carried forward close 2 d head ie. flop forward 2 d front with tip folded near/above corner of eye (when alert). Eyes shld b almond shape, full of life n intelligence, dark rims desirable.

Piper's ears r fine ie. folded down. Some JRT clubs also accept prick or pointed ears but dis is not preferred. If u dun intend 2 show ur JRT, den it dun really matter. More important is dat pup shld b in good health, appears alert, fairly active n inquisitive. But u never know, d quietest 1 may turn out 2 b d neighbourhood speed demon.

Bout RM800 - 1k.

U looking for 1 rite now or towards the yearend? If now, can point u towards a fren who hs a pup available for bout 1k with cert.

Sorry mate, d pup already sold 2 pet shop n got kidnapped while at d shop along with few other pups.

Yarman, nowadays evenings usually rain so playtime at d park is limited. Cn gv me a call at 016-6928186 just 2 make sure v r at d complex shld u decide 2 drop by.

JRTs coat should b predominantly white, markings (brown or black) should ideally b confined 2 d head n tail area. Patches on d body is permissable as long as white is d dominant colour.

U r rite. JRTs should maintain d working dog physique ie. slim waist, fairly trim n muscular, rugged, alert n always ready 2 go. Msians tend 2 spoil deir dogs with too many treats n too little exercise n play.
