leahluvsherpups Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I noticed that you are a JRT lover and owner. Am I correct? Some time in the future my husband and I want to adopt one. We have met a few and we do realize that they are a huge dog in a little package but I could use a little more info on them. I have 4 high energy dogs that love little dogs so I don't think a JRT would be a problem with them. What do you think? Thank you in advance. Quote

xavierandrea Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 We all must remember that Debbie takes care of those vicious little creatures called :errrr: "children" I wonder if she's OK... Debbie, oh Debbie please keep safe........... Quote
imported_Debbie Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Awww.....you guys !!! I'm feeling the love !!!!! :buzi: I always tell my family members if I don't pick on ya, I don't love ya !!! :lol: Well, I had this almost all written out and my computer froze on me and I had to shut down....... :x Sorry for not getting to your question sooner but the humidity has been ungodly here and I've been poolside with the doggies and some nice ice cold Mikes !!! 8) :drinking: (no Mikes with the kids, only on weekends !!) Kids are in bed for a nice 2 hr. nap although they will be getting up shortly (the demons !! :evil: ) and my after school kids will be descending on me and wanting pool time as well...... :fadein: Leah, I think it's great you want to adopt a JRT !!! I can see you're already used to high energy dogs, so I'm sure the Jacks won't scare you away !! They are big dogs in little packages, but are they ever worth it !!! :angel: I think a Jack would fit right into your group quite nicely !!! I know people that have B.C's and Jacks and have them in Flyball together !! They are very loving, intelligent dogs and if you aren't careful can be one step ahead of you !! :lol: My 2 aren't hyper, but I hear some can be.....mine love to snuggle and have taken over my couch and bed. Whereever I am you can rest assured there are 2 Jacks nearby if not on me !! :wink: Mine were never destructive with furniture or things like that but they have chewed apart a pink pen I left down (on my beige carpet, my fault) I basically used the redirect with something they could have and they learned very quickly...... Some say they're hard to house train too, but I found mine very quick to train. I guess it's all in what you put into it, what you get out. Same with any dog. I got my first one 4yr. ago and I will never be without one again. I've previously been a *big* dog person. I've got 2 and would have more if I lived in the country !!! If you have any more specific questions I'd be glad to answer them. I know there are plenty of JRT Rescue groups if you're planning an older adoption. :angel: leahluvsherpups napisał(a):I noticed that you are a JRT lover and owner. Am I correct?
