My Jack Russel Terrier puppy always growls and tries to bite me when I give her foods she likes. I gave her a treat and while she was eating it, I touched her and then she growled and started to act crazy. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

sounds like your dog has issues that need to be resolved. the Dog Whisperer recommends long walks to help any problem, you should try that. check out his show on the National Geographic channel.

We recently gotten a 2 year old Jack Russell female from someone who had been abused. Shes okay with my wife but scared to death of me. She stays under the bed all the time and tenses up when Im around her or runs the other way so I have to walk her around the house with a leash now just so shes around me. I walk her outside and she walks fine. I also have another Jack Russell and a Minuature Pincher both females. We've had her for 2 months now and theres been little or no improvement. Ive thought about buying anxiety medicine from 1800PetMeds to see if that works. Any ideas of how I can help her along faster?

see this is the problem with buying a dog from an abusive person or a rescued animal the reason she is scared is because she probably got abused by a man I'm sure if you start approaching her gently and feeding her treats but you shouldn't do the discipline your wife should do that part cuz she will just get afraid of you and when your wife is sitting on the couch petting the pup quietly sit down and start petting the dog also

We are buying a house and it is a tri level, so the bottom floor is half way under ground and has two bedrooms, both of the floors slant slightly toward the outside wall. We have heard to "thincoat" the basement floor by pouring in concrete until it levels. I was wondering if anyone can explain this process or tell me where to find out how to do it. Also I was wondering the approximate cost and if a random person with no experience could make this work. The floor wouldn't need to look finished b/c we are putting laminate flooring on top. We have heard that mudjacking is another option, so if anyone has any advice between the two or knows the cost difference, we would appreiciate any help. Thanks!!

That slant may be there to carry off water.
Are you SURE that basement always will by dry.
It is best to be so before leveling the floor.

my jack russell pup is a light tan colour all over with a black stripe down his back and a black tail. he also has a black snout. hes very cute i just wondered if this was a normal colouring for a jack russell as they r usually white with patches arent they? thanks

Jack Russell is not a 'breed' as defined by the kennel club. Consequently there is a lot of variation in size, coat length, and colour. Black and tan are common additions to white, but there are no rules as there is no breed standard. The Parson Russell terrier is a recognised breed, and is not the same as a Jack Russell. They pretty much all look like Eddie from the TV show Frasier. I think you probably do have a 'pure' Jack Russell but this is not a breed in itself. It doesn't matter though- Jack Russells are great!

My Jack Russell Jag is 2 years old. I would love to rescue an italian greyhound in the next few months. I've done all of my research and I thought I would ask you guys to see if any of you had experiences or have heard of good stories of these two breeds living together.

Thanks!
my jack russell is very well trained and has never ever destroyed anything in my house nor would ever bite ANYONE.

please don't judge because of the stories you've heard. every jack russell is different.
thanks for everyone's opinions. my dog is very well behaved and i'm very lucky he's not a typical jack russell. he's very friendly and very independent.

I have a Jack too and she's 3 now. I rescued her from a bad situation. She's come a long way. This was a dog that never knew what it was like to go outside. Believe it or not, now I'm dog sitting a cocker spaniel for 10 days and they're getting along just fine. She's usually great with small, medium, and gentle larger dogs. It's the big dogs that are too rough and bully small dogs that she doesn't get along with.

You sound like you've done an excellent job keeping your jack trained, exercised, and entertained. I recommend getting a female so there's less chances of minor fights. If your jrt is anything like mine, where he's even a little dominant with dogs in his home then I recommend picking out a submissive new dog and introduce them in a slow, neutral, controlled environment. It's best to have them meet outside of your home first. Good luck!

Jack's are great dogs. It's the people that create them into monsters because they have no clue on how to be leaders of the pack. Keep up the good work!

Maybe someone from Ireland would know? Is it a deliberate disrespect of Ireland? For example, they could have put it in the middle of the cross of Saint Andrew, so it would look like the center was covering its center. But the way they put its legs on opposite sides of the cross of Saint Andrew makes it look deliberately broken.

The cross of St Patrick has little to do historically w Ireland. The arms of the Kildare family - chosen by the British in 1800 as the most suitable for incorporation into the Union flag.
So keep your hair on.

I’m taking 8 month jack russell terrier puppy from the shelter. Best food for her? I don’t mean only dry food.
Or any tips for taking care of this breed.

Thanks for any help.

What breed she is makes no difference, and you only need dry food.

Here’s a website:

http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com

Pick a good one. A food with 4 stars or more is a good food. Feed according to the instructions on the bag. It’s OK to feed slightly LESS, but not more, so measure carefully.

The only tip I will offer is please get some obedience training and plan to spend LOTS of time working with her. That’s a high-energy breed, and smart, too … she will need to burn a lot of energy and be kept very busy … and she will need plenty of mental stimulation, too. Otherwise she will become destructive and develop bad habits.

JRTs are a lot of fun, and they have a ton of “personality” … so enjoy your pup, and thank you for adopting!
