He is a real character and mainly very well-behaved but I never had to take my cats for walks on a lead or collect their droppings in little plastic bags.

But I do like dogs (just as I like almost all animals) and keep saying I'll have a dog when I retire (in about 20 yeras) to help keeping me active.<br />BUT with my own dog I would make sure he/she is well trained and listens to me, not going berserk at other dogs, cats or people. Since Biscuit isn't yours, I can only assume the person who owns him didn't know much about Jack Russel terriers; a lot of people are daft enough to get them for their families with little children, in spite of Jackies being NOT made for being around kids - they have the aggressive character of nearly all terriers bred into them on purpose. But people think they are "cute" (they are!) and the right size for the average family home... Character is not what they think of, unfortunately, and more often than not you find they are unable to handle them properly. Unlike cats, dogs need to be trained and accept their owner as their leader.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-87328199775857375172016-07-25T05:31:30.651+01:002016-07-25T05:31:30.651+01:00Biscuit looks like a dog for all places and season...Biscuit looks like a dog for all places and seasons, willing to be in anything - dog fights included.<br /><br />AlphieAlphie Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041492283753978975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-76042568144523894292016-07-25T01:52:02.955+01:002016-07-25T01:52:02.955+01:00I do hope you don't start mimicking what Biscu...I do hope you don't start mimicking what Biscuit does while he's out walking, Yorkie!<br /><br />Biscuit looks like he is a lovely little fellow. Pets are great. Tortoiseshell cats are always of the female persuasion. Most ginger cats are male, but not always...not like it is with the tortoiseshell.<br /><br />The last dog I had, Missy, was a black Cocker Spaniel. She had a little grey as well. Missy was a lovely dog. An American breed, she was, actually, my brother's dog but for the last five years of her life she lived with me because he couldn't have an animal where he lived. Missy got on with my two cats, Pushkin and Rimsky...but Pushkin (ginger cat) made sure that Missy knew who ruled the roost from the get-go! :)<br />Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-72010519421389343942016-07-25T01:47:46.525+01:002016-07-25T01:47:46.525+01:00Jack Russels are all attitude.

I took him for walks, and it was amazing just how many people stopped to chat and ask about him. He left a big gap in our life when his owners came to reclaim him, and within a couple of months we had our own pup. Since then, (the past 35 years or so) we have never been "dog-less". For some years we had three dogs at the same time, two Labs and a Spaniel X who was a little bit like Biscuit in temperament. <br />We still have another two Labs. - they came to us as mature, retired breeding dogs. We dread the day when we are too old to have another dog. <br />Could it be that Sue hasn't got a dog because they can't ride a bike ?Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-80902828934881499592016-07-24T17:09:55.091+01:002016-07-24T17:09:55.091+01:00Biscuit is a perfect name for that dog!
