  • JACK RUSSELL TERRIER CLUB of AMERICA) Is a Type of Working Terrier That Meets Those Conformational Standards That Are Functionally Sound for Earth Work
    The TRUE JRT The JRT as recognized by the JRTCA (JACK RUSSELL TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA) is a type of working terrier that meets those conformational standards that are functionally sound for earth work. The True Jack Russell Terrier may be any height between 10" and 15" (at the shoulder), it may vary in coats, markings, type, and for sure personality... they are ALL real Jack Russell Terriers. There is no "ideal"... the "ideal" is what suits their owner for what they want/need to do with their terrier. That is the uniqueness of this diverse terrier. The diversity within the JRTCA breed standard is what makes the Jack Russell Terrier suitable for a variety of working and performance abilities - in contrast with the narrow, cosmetic breed standards of many show breeds. The "Russell Terrier" and the "Parson Russell Terrier" are both variants of the Jack Russell Terrier made into "separate breeds" by the American Kennel Club (AKC). They are variants of the original Jack Russell Terrier as always supported by the JRTCA. The JRTCA standard includes the full range of sizes needed for earth work. It is to be known our standard is to allow a terrier to follow the red fox to ground. The dog needed the drive and structure to mirror the agile intelligent fox. The Jack Russell Terrier had to be able to outsmart the fox and have the courage to do so for the handler as a team. The true Jack Russell Terrier has been preserved as a working dog. Every effort has been made to eliminate and prevent genetic defects/faults within the JRTCA registry.

  • The Lakeland Terrier
    THE LAKELAND TERRIER UNIQUE ORIGIN: The Lakeland Terrier dates back to the 1800s and gets its name from its home of origin, the Lakeland District in England. They are one of the oldest terrier breeds that still exist today. The breed was developed to be a fox hound by crossing the Fox Terrier and the Airedale Terrier. The Lakeland Terrier got its great stamina from running long and hard after foxes in the mountainous, rocky terrain of the Lakeland District. Its size and energy made it easier to reach the foxes in their lair. They were also used on the farm to prevent fox and other vermin from destroying crops and herds. PERSONALITY: Some words to describe the Lakeland Terrier have been: clever, adventurous, mischievous, playful, loyal, alert, cheerful, loving, confident, brave, and affectionate. They absolutely love children. They do well in an apartment and are very active indoors. They need daily, brisk walks. APPEARANCE: Lakeland Terriers usually weigh between 15 to 17 pounds and stand approximately 14 ½ inches tall. They are small to medium size with a muscular build. Their coat is hard and wiry and comes in a variety of colors including blue, black, liver, black & tan, blue & tan, red, red grizzle, grizzle & tan, and wheaten. INTERESTING FACTS: There are many stories about the Lakeland’s courage. In 1871, Lord Lonsdale had a Lakeland that crawled 23 feet under rock to get to an otter. In order to save the dog, it was necessary to do extensive blasting. The dog was rescued three days later, still in fine shape.

  • Pet Doors for Dog Breeds That Are Hard to Potty-Train
    Pet Doors for Dog Breeds that are Hard to Potty-Train petdoorproducts.com/pet-doors-for-dog-breeds-that-are-hard-to-potty-train Potty-training a new canine takes confidence and consistency along with a whole lot of patience and understanding. Training the average dog to go outside when they need to relieve themselves can be a formidable situation for new pet owners. But, pets with a stubborn disposition or dog breeds that are hard to potty-train can quickly turn this essential training into a battle of wills, if you’re not fully prepared. When it comes to training your pup, it is important to be firm but also remember to be patient. Along with house-training and learning new commands, a new puppy needs to feel safe, secure and loved in their new home. There are many things you can do to make potty-training easier for yourself and your pup. Anticipating accidents in the beginning and the occasional accident during training will help keep your expectations reasonable. The best thing you can do for yourself and your pet is to install a pet door for easy access to ‘go’ when they need to go. For very small dogs, a training pad near where they exit the house to go outside is a good idea until they can master the pet door. Establishing vocal commands early on will help your pooch to recognize your authority, a firm ‘no’ should be the first command learned. An affordable, customized pet door from Pet Door Products will easily fit into your lifestyle by making crucial house training as convenient as possible.
