Hello Maid, I have been seeing your name quite a bit and meant to drop in a say Hello. How do you handle7 JR . Boy Sammy demand all of our attention. Good to hear from you. Marie

Christmas was crazy...we only had 5 jacks at the time though...plus the 2 chi's, lab, and doxie. Getting them all to go out and go potty isn't fun though. And this is our normal weekend group...only when the other set of in-laws come down from Nashville, TN do the others get added into the crazy mix.

That is hilarious. When my sister and I go to my mom's there is 1 Great Dane, 1 Chihuahua, 1 Boxer, 1 Standard Poodle, 1 Pit Bull and 1 Jack Russell. It's pretty crazy!

I have a Parson Jack Russel! My husband and I love her like she's our child. She's very energetic, of course, which helps keep us active. We take her on runs with us whenever the weather's good. Her name is appropriately "Dash."

Ours is a Parson too!

Hi! I have a Parson Jack named Rocco. We got him when we went to a fundraiser for a local shelter & he was walking around w/an "adopt me" vest on. It was literally love at 1st sight. We got the adoption process going w/in minutes of seeing him (even though he was jumping around like he was a kid with a sugar high!). He turns 2 next month. He lives with us and a rescued beagle & 2 cats in TN. It would take pages & pages of posts to tell you all the reasons that he is the best & why we love him so much! (but I have a feeling ya'll already know!!!)

My 81 yr. old Dad does, and shes the boss of the house.And lately shes put on weight,way too many treats.But shes a handfull,very active,good companion,and watch dog

We used to have one... he was insane (and I'm being nice). He was so territorial he would try to attack any dog that walked by the house. Away from home he was fine but at "his" house - he was a holy terror. He would go through screen doors - attach a big German Shepard and get beaten up. Then the Jack would start crying and our big (dumb - sweet) mastiff would wake up from his slumber on the couch, take out the front door in his rescue attempt. He seriously took out two storm doors in a month going to rescue his "little buddy". The mastiff wouldn't hurt a fly but if Spoticus was in trouble he would charge in to rescue him.

Finally it got to the point that we had to give Spoticus to a family that had an 8 foot solid fence in the back yard and no sidewalk out front. Last I heard he was ruling the roost and happy as can be. Our mastiff missed him but I think he didn't miss the 10 pounds of teeth hanging off his lips or ears from "play" time with the jack...

his name was "Spoticus" pronounced Spot -i - kiss he knew no fear!

I have a Jack Russell that is 8 years old and his name is Bandit. He was born deaf and we taught him to obey with signs. He has been a great dog to our family. When my now 5 year old was a newborn Bandit would lay there and watch for her to move and he would come to my bed andwake me up then run straight to her crib. For being deaf I would have to say he made up for it in so many other ways. Bandit has developed some issues with his hind legs not wanting to work very well any more. We have him on medications but he just is not the same dog he used to be which is a bummer because he was my walking buddy.

I have a JRT named Lexie who just turned 2, and she is the love of my life (next to DBF) she is soo smart and extremely fast!!!! She loves to cuddle with her mommy and daddy and play with her big brother No Name. I dont know what i would do with out her! So glad there is a JRT thread on here! Yay!

I know I've told you before how ADORABLE your Lexie is!! Very pretty girl!

When your JRTs run really fast do they have their butts underneath their body? LOL:laugh: We call Lois "The White Blur"

I've asked this before in a different thread but, when it's bad outside (Ohio winter) how do you let your Jacks release their energy. In summer I take her for long walks, play ball, etc... but she absolutely does not want to be outside right now. We throw the ball or play tug inside but it doesnt wear her out as much as playing outside. She has been more restless at night and I just feel so bad for her. She does get some exercise on the weekends usually playing with other dogs at our friends house, but during the week... what should we do? I am trying to get ahold of a free treadmill to set up and teach her to walk or jog on that. I tried the laser pointer but she doesnt react to it other than trying to find out what I'm holding :laugh: . Is there anything you guys do with your pups to exercise them inside?
