You must have a mutated one ;) When I lived in New Zealand, I knew a few JRTs. They were so totally different than the ones I’ve known in the U.S. Hard to believe they were the same breed. My sister has owned JRTs and I’ve gone with German Shepherds. JRTs are just too high maintenance for me.
“One of mine is a Certified Therapy Pet with Faithful Paws. He could calm the patient just by being there.”
That’s really awesome, by the way. I love JRTs, but I’m too old for any terrier. I had a neighborhood terrier that used to come visit because dog lover me would give him attention. My husband and I still joke, “Throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball.” The dog wore us out.
