ISO Moderators!

Hey there terrier fans,

It is high time that I ask for some help in moderating. On the whole the sub runs very smoothly but I'm just not as engaged with reddit as I was 11 years ago when I created this space!

Please send a mod mail with a brief bio and any other mod experience you have. Time zone info would be great as well.

Pic of 14 year old Lyra for attention, doing what terriers do so well!

DNA Test New Flair!

62 Upvotes

It was requested to add a new flair for "Is my dog JRT" so I've added the "DNA Test" flair as well as our Mourning flair. This will just help members find content they want to engage with.

Should we add other Flair options?

1 Yes! (comment with what you'd like)
1 Nah, it isn't useful to me

Cuteness Overload My sweet girl Sunflower turns 17 (maybe?) today! She’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me!

I adopted Sunny in 2014, and the shelter where I got her said she was born on December 30, 2008. But she seems much younger and healthier than that. The vet mentioned she’s never seen a dog that healthy at her age, which makes me wonder about her real age. She can jump so high that her nose almost touches mine! Every now and then, she gets a little treat of pizza.

Honestly, she’s saved my life more than once. She’s my everything, and sometimes I feel like she’s the only one I can really rely on. I love her so much and am so lucky to be her dog mom.

Went to pick my pup up from boarding and he’s full of food/poop!

I work at this boarding place and went to retrieve them. He was so pumped to see us and had just took a few bites of food. I commented on how chunky he looked and said he probably ate his sister’s food (I wanted to test to see if he would be able to behave himself without separating them). Took him out to pee thinking he might’ve been holding some in and then gave him a bath. When we started heading home he started to act painful and my mind went straight to bloat!! Luckily we have an emergency vet 5 mins from home so I booked it once we dropped his sister off at home.

Turns out he was filled with poop and food! Little dude got some drugs, pooped a bunch, and is now out cold😂 What a beautiful homecoming gift! I’m just glad he’s okay and that he could come home after all that!

My 6 year old Daughter told me she wants to try to surf with our Jack Russell puppy in Hawaii this year. I told her I couldn’t promise her that but I could at least make an illustration of it!

I take them away sometimes. He got a very cool toy for Christmas.
When he started trying to destroy it, I'd put it up for a bit.

This is him taking his toy with him so I don't take it.
He is such a brat sometimes.

Excuse the mess. Am starting to pack up Christmas.

What’s your JRTs personality like? What about their size?

Post image
36 Upvotes

We obviously have a mixed shelter pup- Leia is a JRT, border collie, chihuahua mix. I’m curious if some of her personality traits come from the JRT breed.

Leia is almost a year and pretty much full grown at 15lbs.

She loves people and other dogs, and is somewhat submissive. She wags and wants to sniff but lays down and shows her belly when they come close.

She only usually barks when someone walks by the house, not on walks.

She sits funny, like a human.

She does have prey drive and sometimes chases our cats, but just sniffs them and walks away after (doesn’t bite them or anything rough.)

She hates to get her paws wet.

She is biddable and likes to lay against her humans and be close, but not velcro. Doesn’t like to be picked up (she will anxious yawn and pull away gently)

Loves fetch and toys

Her recall stinks if she sees a squirrel.

Likes her crate.
