that is proper english, its in the dictionary.Think we have all agreed on this point Cashy, but put it in proper English like ...
its also a very apt word fer such folk.
Pick up yer glass slipper and off up the dancers then ...
Good post by the way about the dogs.
I am inclined to say what alot of bollocks but I wont...
haveing been brought up with jack russells and bred them also - in the wrong hands they are as dangerous as any other dog that walks BUT in the correct hands with the correct upbringing and training they are lovely dogs - it is a misconception that they are little ankle biters - obviously the ones you have encountered had a difficult life and were not happy..
pretty much like rottis - they are big scarey devil dogs that shouldnt be out during the day so people will tell you - but in actual fact they are big loveable squidgy faced things - again in the wrong hands they are fearsome beasts..
the point I am trying to make is that any dog can be a loving happy companion in the right hands..
I have a JRT and its the softest thing ever - he is scared of cats and rabbits!...and around my little one who is nearly 2 - well he is scared of little one as he is fed up getting his ears pulled- its a great laugh for the little one but not for the dog
and for a JRT to be a decent ratter they are best from farm stock when mum and dad would be ratters also - a JRT born in a normal family environment will be no better a ratter than a pekinese..
if you lab is 6 years old and the JRT is 18 months - I would not worry about the lab - as it will put the pup in place as it will be the alpha dog. and also at 18 months - its still young and can easily be trained by a loving owner.
hard hat is on waiting for the replys..
Ok ... agree with a lot of what you have to say .... but I was responding to a specific question, relating to a particular circumstance .... the dog that I am taking care of is aggressive and stubborn; but in a lot of ways she is a little sweetheart .... but you have to agree (or you may not) that having a JRT in your family is a big responsibility ... and hard work. What I find difficult to understand is why people will give away a dog .... I wouldn't part with any of mine for the world .... and if the JRT, Hope, has to stay with me, she will be loved and cared for.
I would take it for a couple of days and see how it goes, my dad had a JRT and it was a lovely dog, very faithful and affectionate, I had no qualms about it being around when my daughter was little. Like others have said it's all down to how it has been raised, and btw Glasgow Guy Eric is doing just fine!
