Here I had put up a brief summary about the personality and characteristics of a JRT. 1. DO NOT BUY a JRT just because you think it looks cute. Puppies are always adorable, and that is how they get abandoned when they grew up, because they out grown their cuteness. 2. DO NOT BUY a JRT just because the pet shop sells it cheaper than other breeds. Please do not buy a JRT due to financial constraints. If there is any financial constraints, a dog may not be right at this point of time. Dogs need to go to see a vet when they are ill, and these costs cannot be under estimated. Other than that, dog food and daily necessities are not cheap either, therefore, think twice before you decide to get a dog. 3. DO NOT BUY a JRT just because you think the short coat will not shed. JRT shed everyday. If you are one who is asthmatic or sensitive to dog fur, you may re-consider if you want a JRT. If you really would wish to keep one, you may want to keep a Miniature Schnauzer that do not shed at all. 4. DO NOT BUY a JRT just because it will grow up to be a small dog. JRT are hyper active and are not suitable for apartment. Although HDB does approved such breed to be kept, they need plenty of exercise and lots of attention. A house with a garden is desirable. 5. DO NOT BUY a JRT, just because you need a companion. JRT can be a good companion but many times, JRT owners does not know why this breed is bred as such, ie. hyper activeness and hyper vocal. Thus they abandoned the JRT or re-home the dog. It is traumatizing for the dog to be re-homed again. If you need a companion, and love JRT, do read up and research more before getting one.
Jack Russell particularly likes to "turbo", off leash them at dog runs or enclosed area for a good run.
Jack Russell likes to roll and dig, if you have a garden and do not wish to be ruin, keep them out of bounds. They may be let out under your supervision.
They will try all their means to get what they want. Keep your LV bags and Gucci ties in a secured place! |
Look at the picture above. Evo is socialising with his new friend. 1. Having a dog is not to keep him at home. Having a dog is to built up companionship and a close relationship between you and your pet. If you are not ready to bring him out for walks every day, think twice before your get your first dog. Time, Family Members and Partner opinions should be sought. Many times one or another family members dislike the idea of keeping a dog. Therefore, speak to them before purchasing a dog. 2. A bored dog is a problematic dog. If you asked me what will I do if I am coop up at home 24 hours day, 365 days a year, I could describe as I am staying in a jail. So what if the dog gets good food? So what he gets the best of everything? Have the owner forgotten about The Great Outdoors? It is good to have dogs participating in family events and bring them out to socialize with other fur-friends of their family. An account of a dog... I was here for such a long time, each day I get my supply of dry tasteless food. Although it was an unlimited access, but I have nothing else to do. Besides sleep, I eat and later sh&% I wished I could stay longer downstairs, all the time I finished my business, they would take me home. I would tell myself to poo later. l should endure my poo so that I could walk longer downstairs. Well, sometimes I cannot control, whole day coop up at home, I could not wait to release my waste! Once I poo, there I go....back to my home. SIGH Once I am at home, I got no new supply of toys, I saw the delicious piece of toy at the place where they keep my food. I chewed to my heart content. My owner was angry with me and I was badly beaten up. Alright, since I could not chew on things, then forget about it, let me stop using my teeth then. I called for people walking past me. I called and called, no one wanted to play with me. Again my master shouted at me and he gave me two tight slaps. Bad enough, so I decided not to call any more and not chew on the furniture, I was feeling real bad after being beaten. All of a sudden a gush of wind blew....poooooooooo there I let go a gush of wind. Oops, I had to sh^*, I must had eaten the ants in my dish. My master left the food there for the ants and myself to share. My poo time was over, how could I hold till the next day? I couldn't hold longer, I poo in the house.....my master yelled at me! I had no where hide and he chased after me with a huge piece of rod. I am so frightened. I hide under the bed almost all the time. I look at dust and hair flying through the hall, I look at their feet walking past the bed. Food and water is always there, they top up my dish each day, but I hardly have the appetite to eat. These days I do my business at home. They do not bring me out any more. I just wish I ain't a dog. Moral of the story An irresponsible dog owner bring misery to another life. If the dog owner who buys the dog because they are cute and later neglect them, a lot of problems will arise. When they are a young puppy, most bad habit are not developed yet. However, pro-longed negligence will lead to a problematic dog. A Jack Russell especially requires more attention then many other breed.
