Jack Russells, Loath Them Or Love Them?

I’ve owned Jack Russell dogs since 1967. Love them or loth them, I love my Jack Russell’s; they may be a small dog. However, what they lack in size they make in character. With their boundless energy, stamina, & fearlessness they can have you pulling your hair out one minute, then have you rolling about with laughter the next minute. Never two Jack Russell’s are the same they all have different temperaments and characteristics.

 

The present bunch, I call The Rat Pack.

 

 

 

Sweep’s thirteen and the leader of the bunch, with her butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth looks is the top dog. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They soon find out who’s boss when they get on the wrong side her.

 

Bobby’s ten, Sweep’s his mother and the smallest of the Rat Pack, but sees himself as twice the size.  He is totally fearless. He’s also taken to impersonating Meerkats after seeing them on the TV adverts.

 

Broome’s is Sweep’s half-brother he is totally different again. He thinks he is a Teddy Bear. When you stroke him or try to pick him up, he will growl just like a Steiff Teddy Bear. However, it’s all a front he has never ever bitten anybody. He just likes trying to be the Alpha male of the tribe.

Polly (Polly Pocket) is a right little Madame, is ten and from the same litter as Bobby. Polly’s owners are very dear friends of mine. The friendship goes back over forty years’. It’s as well she doesn’t see The Rat Pack that often, because they would soon lead her astray. I don’t think that would go down well with her owners Roy and Lynn.

                                      

 

Sammy’s a cross breed, half Cairn Terrier & Jack Russell. He’s ten years old and a right head case if he had brains he’d be dangerous. When Sammy and Broome  meet up with each other usually on most days you would think they hate each other, when they start  fighting and rolling about , tucking and pulling each other about but no harm ever comes of it. Sammy’s the biggest of them all, for a small sized dog he can run fast. I once saw him chase a Hare over a couple of fields that surround us; admittedly he never caught the Hare but the Hare was never far in front of him. Sammy lives next door and belongs to my son, when he’s working I look out for Sammy.
