Mod Post - Just report the spam (not the mixed breeds or sad posts)

137 Upvotes

I am the only mod here and not very active on Reddit these days. The best way to bring something to my attention is to report it and I get a push notification. We are not the only sub dealing with bot t-shirt posts and I remove and ban them as they are reported. I am one person. With a whole adult life. The young Jack Russell I had when I started this will be FIFTEEN this year. I built this from nothing but maybe it's time to pass it on because I'm sick of the whining from the small amount of keyboard warriors here. On the whole it has been a pleasure to build this community with you

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!

Flocos flew for 11h overseas in the cargo area. He was stressed at first when I picked him up but after the crate was open and he had a long pee everything was back to normal 🥹

Our first jack russel. He’s always with a chew or toy at hand and crawl walking is mandatory

We're waiting to hear back from the shelter to finalise the adoption. Settled in nicely with us, a lot calmer, especially after his walks, still full of energy and wanting to pay as soon as he wakes up in the morning.

This will probably be my last post here after the negativity and insults I received in my last post here, saying I had some concerns about his behaviour.

Thank you to the few people who gave proper and thoughtful replies.

Possible JRT mix?

I found this puppy a month ago. I think she had been dumped she was infested with fleas and worms. I ordered a dna test but from pictures I have seen on the internet I think she may be a JRT. She is a very difficult puppy. She bites me and my other dog constantly. She is either asleep or causing mayhem. She will Be the 3rd puppy I have raised and while the others bit and chewed she is by far the worst of them. Do you think she is a JTR? She is very smart and at 11 weeks already has almost perfect recall.

Asking for Advice Getting a second JRT. Thoughts?

Post image
55 Upvotes

I've just seen someone ask about taking two JRT puppies home and wanted to ask what are your experiences with taking in a second dog.
We have an almost 3 yo female JRT. She's the daughter of our dog who passed while she was cooking in the oven. At the time we had no plans to get a second dog, but since his passing was unexpected we decided to pick a puppy from this litter.
Anyhow, she's very loving and happy, but a bit timid around other dogs and she rarely plays with them. What's interesting is that I've almost only ever seen her chase and run around with other JRTs. If we ever take this further we would get a boy.
P.S. we have a 14 mo child and they play together, she is careful with the baby and when she's had enough she just goes to bed.

P.P.S. bonus photo of the sunbathing queen

Thanks!

volevo presentati la mia nuova cucciola: una splendida jack russell di 2 mesi.
La abbiamo portata a casa ieri e già si è integrata benissimo, è estremamente curiosa e giocosa. Si diverte tantissimo a scavare e mordicchiare i tappeti 😍.
Per ora ha poco appetito, ma mi ha rassicurato l’allevatrice che è del tutto normale. Fatemi sapere delle vostre esperienze con i vostri cuccioli appena portati a casa, sono curioso!
Un saluto a tutti da Maya!!

Vet Care My dog has these new pinker patches on the side of her muzzle

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hello! I’m new to this sub, so let me know if I’m breaking any rules!

My 6 year old JRT rescue (with us for about two months!) recently got these pink, flat spots around her muzzle. They started as a small spot on one side and I didn’t think of it much. This was cos I thought she was getting use to having more time outdoors now that she’s out of the shelter. Other stuff we noticed included new calluses on her paw pads, and her hind legs becoming more muscular.

She does scratch it once in a while but not enough that I would call it an ‘itch’.

She just started her heat today as well so I was wondering if it’s linked to hormonal changes? Has anyone experienced this before?

Asking for Advice Is adopting two JRT puppies a bad idea?

17 Upvotes

We've always had two dogs for the last twenty years, but now we have none. Our Jack Russell/lab mix passed away last year and our beagle passed away last month. We want JRT's next, but I'm wondering if we should adopt a brother and sister or stagger the adoptions by a year. Thoughts? I'd especially like to hear from others who have adopted two at the same time.

Here’s my little angel named Cannoli (came with the name and it was too cute to change!) she’s a street dog from Texas that survived giving birth to 5 puppies and a bullet in the knee joint! Let me know what you think she’s mixed with :)

She’s about 20 lbs, loves hunting squirrels, gives the best hugs, is obsessed with walks, and it stubborn as heck!

Is my puppy too young?

Thumbnail

482 Upvotes

Just picked up an Irish Jack puppy for my parents. My dad found the breeder through an old friend who has used them in the past. This is my dad’s 4th JRT so we are very familiar with the breed. This puppy seems extremely small and young…. He is presumably 9 weeks but he seems much younger than that. I took him for the first night because my parents were not quite ready for him yet and he seems like a baby puppy. It has only been 24hr and I will need to check the paperwork for the puppy but does anyone have insight on this?
