So Nervous
45 Answers
I have now had the opportunity of getting a maybe 9month old Jack Russell again. ( think it is miniature) - not sure.
the owner of the dog is pregnant and has already an older dog and is keeping it.
I have been asked do I want Jack2 and I am so nervous since I am on my own that sometimes think I cannot cope.
I know when he and I becomes pals I will be happy. At the moment my big worry is if he is so young it will be difficult for me to housetrain him - particularly at the moment since it is so cold. He, eventually will be an inside dog.
when I look at Mr Harv and NOT KNOWING - but it was so hard to train him and even after 10 years he still had the odd mistake.
Just wish there was somebody here with me to share the responsibilities.
Do you think I can do it without help. thanks for any replies. JjCon

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm afraid I can't agree that a JR puppy is the right dog, especially a puppy, for you Con. They are high energy, love to be outdoors exploring, inquisitive, down rabbit holes, definitely NOT an indoor dog. I think I remember you saying that you didn't walk your last dog every day but a young JR would not be a happy dog kept under those circumstances. Please wait until you find the right dog for you, a bit older, not a high energy dog like a JR. The right one is out there waiting for you.

//The Jack Russell is an energetic breed that relies on a high level of exercise and stimulation and is relatively free from serious health complaints.//
I have had a few JRTs, they really are great dogs, I love them. They are however quite headstrong and not the easiest to train. if you dont train them they can be yappy and snappy and they will rule you!!
Unless you are dedicated to the training and have lots of patience and energy I would avoid a JRT.
