JRTs are varmint killin machines.
That is a great animated GIF! Hopefully the dog survived - looked like the car was going at least 40mph.
I believe it. Feisty little guys with a strong bite.
Have to agree.
My dog like to ride with me because he knows we are about to hunt some delicious chinese food.
Dogs really handle weightlessness fairly well. I often floated my Lab around the cabin of small aircraft. He usually seemed to think he had chosen a defective seat, as he would find another as soon as he could stop floating.
Although I have no first hand experience with the same maneuver and cats, I have been warned to NEVER ATTEMPT this with a cat! Words and statements along the lines of “lucky to have survived” are to be associated with such attempts. Of course, YMMV.
When I’m driving my dog is in the back seat laying down. He stays there when I slow down, speed up or stop at a traffic light. But if I use the turn signal, just the click as I turn it on will have him pop up between the seats with his front feet on the console and back legs on the seat or floor watching out the window with anticipation. And as a terrier mix, seeing a cat will get him all excited.
one of my dogs loves the car; the other one loves to get in the car, but 2 blocks from house starts to whine and whimper
Need to take him through the drive-thru (fast food) IMMEDIATLY after, and buy him a burger or something, ( I gave my dog a sausage and egg burrito off the dollar menu, and let him eat it in the car ) after he got shots and blood drawn, and we have no problems with the vet, because I associated good things, (human food) and the vet.
BTW compared to what you just spent at the vets, one dollar is NOTHING. Honestly one of the best dollars I spent on him. Hope this helps!
We go up to my cousins cabin in Michigan quite often, and she LOOOVES it up there. A heavily wooded lot, that she gets a good run of, with lots of...SQUIRRELS!!!
She can be sleeping in the backseat, and we get to within 1 mile of Taylor rd, which is wooded rd that leads to the cabin, and she's up and begins to whine.
I get the door open to the car and one leg out, and she's out of the car and running.
OMG. I saw exactly that scene last week at Home Depot. We stopped there after early church when the store had just opened and the parking lot was fairly empty. A white truck stopped down the row from me where I was waiting for my husband to come back. As the drive hopped out and headed to the store, two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers stood up in unison and fixed their eyes in the direction their owner had disappeared. They stood there for a while at full attention.
Finally, the older one disappeard from view when he sat down to rest, and the younger one followed suit. About that time another white truck pulled into the space next to the truck with the dogs. The driver started to get out of his truck, and the two Chessies jumped up and started barking furiously. The new driver quickly retreated back into his cab and moved his truck down by me. He caught my eye and looked a little sheepish and went into the store shaking his head. The Chessies remained on alert until the stranger was out of sight, and then they sat down again. It was pretty funny.
We don’t see dogs riding in the beds of pick ups often around here. I’m sure the 2nd driver was startled.
I’ve done some trapping. Bobcats are a prize, and worth more, more finite habitat. Coyotes have a better nose and are more leery of a trap. Both are quite curious and cautious.
Their domestic counterparts are idiots in comparison...
Straight up.
90% of the time, Odin is snoring on the back seat while we’re moving.
When we stop and people are near the car, *then*, he “hunts”.
Until then, he doesn’t bother because he’s smart enough to know the other people can’t catch us.
Our dogs like going for rides because they like doing time/distance problems and then they bet on their answers. The other three don’t know that the little one bribes me to slow down after the bets are in. I’ve got like a dozen chew toys now.
That is a good looking dog. Do you take the pictures yourself? They look professional.
They think dogs have a sense of smell that is 1000 times more acute than ours. Man has five million receptors, dogs have 300 million to my understanding. So when the dog sticks his head out the window, maybe it’s like watching the country side flow past at 1000 mph but seeing every detail going back in time a good ways, like watching some of the best movies ever at once.

What is the JRT like? Their special needs and characteristics...?
