Stuck on top left corner - should crack it if I get 1 down.
Raise american hawk, keeping rook as pet (4,7)
I have j?c? r??????
What a great crossword this week, though! I freely admit I've had to cheat like mad, including copious use of Answerbank, but some of the clues are awesome (once you've figured out how they work!)

Jack Russell - jack (raise) + r(ook) + US + sell (hawk)

Thanks, Kettledrum - that illustrates what I mean about this crossword, though - American hawk = US sell - brilliant! (Albeit way beyond my tiny mind!)
