CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BREED - JACK RUSSELL TERRIER
GASPALLEIRA
Pyrenean Mastiff and Jack Russell Terrier
Neither wept, or scratch at the door, nor protested, simply grabbed one of my shoes, the placed in the basket and was knocked down at his side. Since then, every day, a shoe, slipper, always mine, appears on your basket in the morning. We tried to put a teddy bear, a favorite toy..., but not served as anything, they were not my smell.
This anecdote defines a big feature of Jack Russell Terrier: are tenacious, intrepid, daring and very intelligent, but unconditional his master, to which continue to all parties, always awaiting him.
Dogs are very agile, strong and resilient, with a great capacity for work (is a terrier game). They can train for a large number of activities, especially if used its natural tendency to leap (agility), persecution of prey and dug in search of her (game). They are excellent as hunters of rodents and vermin.
The first day that Uli spent at home, even a cachorrillo four months, you teach where his site, a basket with a blanket
in a quiet room of the house. When he arrived the night, the put in your basket and shut the door of the room.
The name of the race is due to a pastor, named John, called "Jack" Russell (1795-1883). A dog called "Trump" it acquired from its dairy, John developed two races: the fox terrier and a few dogs of shorter legs than would give rise to the current Jack Russell Terrier. This race the develop to their friends hunters and, in addition to an appropriate size for that access to the den of fox and the predominance of white color to distinguish it from it, you select, above all, by another characteristic: it must be able to keep balance on the pommel in the saddle during the fox hunting. Now it is understood because the Jack Russell Terrier is known as "the dog of the horses", know the smell of manure for a long time.
On the other hand possess a sympathy innate and a special sense of humor leads them to make continuous "antics" to draw our attention, as to scrounge chasing a terrifying "fly" or run to speed, jumping from a piece of furniture to another of the house. They are not at all dogs for sedentary people.
Good companions of the children (if you are socialized from puppies with them), retained their vitality and taste for the game until advanced age, even before the tyranny of children too young, opt for a "withdrawal time" to a good hideaway, when there are decided by bull to the small playing "to which i do not reach".
His great longevity (they have a life expectancy of 15 years) and its hardiness, make them dogs usually very healthy. I recall that in the first visit of Uli the veterinarian it told us: for the other dogs in this race that come with my consultation only i see once a year for its vaccination.
In short, are dogs of great vitality, faithful companions of adults and children, which can have their most and its less with other dogs strangers if they are not educates conveniently, but with a inexhaustible ability to learn and a hunter instinct deep-rooted.
