About Daisy the Jack Russell | |
|
|
Daisy is a petite Jack Russell mix. Just looking at her you know that she is a happy, affectionate dog. She is scheduled to be spayed in early October. She has tested for heartworms, a condition for which we treat her. All she needs to make life wonderful is a family to love her.
10/12 Foster Update:
We "fostered" Daisy for a night and were able to observe and learn more about her personality and over all demeanor.
The short and sweet of it is, she is a great dog.
She doesn't bark without reason (definitely NOT a "yappy" dog), beg for food, or have any short comings that we could tell from the time we had her.
You can pick her up and hold her; she will certainly give you a few licks to the face to show her affection. She loves to be outside during the day and chases lizards for most of that time. Look out though, she will catch them, but will also release them with firm commands. She is also house broken and learned to use our "doggy doors" after seeing our dog use them just once. That's a pretty smart dog as it took our dog a few days. She is also very simple. She wants to be loved, be outside and be happy. As for playing and entertaining her, she does love to chase lizards (she literally spent ALL DAY chasing them when she was here), and she didn't have much interest in dog toys but did enjoy plain rawhide strips.
She loves to cuddle and is definitely one that will cuddle up with you in bed at night, but is also comfortable sleeping on the floor in her bed. She is also very good in the car; she lies down and falls asleep without any issues. She doesn't seem like a dog that would run off but does need to be on a leash when walked or taken in to public.
The biggest challenge we faced was that by not knowing her original name, it's difficult to get her attention. It will definitely take time to help her learn her name and she will likely need some obedience classes as she didn't appear to know any of the basic commands (sit, come, etc). She DID understand "No" but I have a feeling that's all she was told and possibly followed with physical force and appears as though she has been physically abused by her previous owners. She shies away from anything that looks like a stick, including a long spoon as we found out when cooking dinner the night we had her. She also seems to be very independent, possibly a result of being left to fend for herself. While she was with us that independence was displayed as she didn't follow us around the house or constantly look or wonder what we were doing or beg for food, she just did her thing and seemed happy doing so. So don't expect a needy dog off the bat, but we are not saying with consistent love and attention that those traits wont change.
All in all she is a wonderful dog with a very sweet disposition. Any family would be lucky to call her their own.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Jack Russell Terrier was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell. This feisty little terrier was used to hunt small game, particularly fox, by digging the quarry out of its den. Breeders have emphasized its working ability, so the standard is very broad, encompassing a wide range of accepted body types. On English hunts, the Jack Russell Terriers were supposed to be long-legged enough to keep up with the hounds. The energetic and playful Jack Russell makes a good family companion. The Jack Russell Terrier is a perky, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Friendly and generally kind to children who have been taught not to tease or strike the dog. They are intelligent, yet willful and determined. They have strong hunting instincts (stronger than your average terrier) and should not be trusted with other small animals. They like to chase and explore. Be careful not to let them off the lead unless they are very well-trained. Jack Russells like to bark and dig. They tend to get restless and destructive if not kept fruitfully occu
