Oh! Apparently you didn't get the memo. They are not dogs. The are Jack Russell TERRORISTS!
They have all the energy and determination of Seal Team Six. They will NEVER back down from a fight regardless of the odds. They can count AND will hold a grudge. They will pick one member of your family and reward that member with unmodulated devotion. If that person turns out to be your child, I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT ANY KIND OF DISCIPLINE IN FRONT THE 12 INCH TERRORIST!
In other words, the perfect companion. PenDawg1 made me write this
OH MY GOSH, This is hysterical. My wife's cousin has a dog show business and their star is a JRT named Skid. He used to do a hand stand in her ex-husband's hand.
1. The dog had motion sickness which considering they made htier living driving around the country to various state fairs, etc. was a huge problem.
2. The dog had no gag reflex. One thanksgiving night, it somehow managed to climb onto the counter tops, while we were at the grocery store and ate himself into a food coma.
3. He was fixated(jealousy issues) on growling at her ex-husband and baring his teeth.
I decided basically after that one night that I would NEVER own a JRT. Instead we've had 2 Saint Bernards. The one that's left is Blind as a bat and deaf as a post but otherwise happy as can be.
