I was part of the horse crowd in my younger days, and it seemed the horse people all had JR’s.....I came to the conclusion they are dogs with a severe case of ADHD and needed psycho therapy .....it also did not help that cute dog, Eddie on Frazier caused people to adopt those dogs.....fast forward to my current life, 3 weeks ago today we adopted a dog from a no kill shelter and he is clearly a JR mix....when I saw him he captured my heart but my head was saying “are you nuts?”.....as it turns he is a great dog and the terrier bark gene is missing.....
JR’s can be great dogs but they need the right owners that provide a stimulating environment for them or those dogs will find their own “fun”
“...that cute dog, Eddie on Frazier caused people to adopt those dogs...”
Yes, my friend who is really an all-animal type person said you have to be careful with those dogs and they are not naturally how Eddie is on the show. They are very hyper in real life. They are a good size for a dog, though.
I’m totally a cat person, but if I ever did have a dog, about that size would be good for me.
Bless you for adopting a mutt! (I’m a mutt; with one exception, all of my dogs were mutts. Most of them were strays. We have a little stray that looks like a cross between a Chihuahua and a corgi.) Mixed breeds are like a box of chocolates....
