Jack Russell & Mixed Breeds

[theterrierman]

Hi, welcome to the forum. I own an 8 yr. old yorkie mix, and I'm currently looking to adopt some kind of JRT or Airedale or Wheaten. Terriers are IMO the best group of breeds around. Low shedding (except for JRT, wow those little guys can cover your carpets!), great personality, and a good size.

I have a tip from my vet about the shedding. When you bath them and towel dry them you should rub some baby oil into them that helps curtail the shedding you should try it it works does for me any way....

thanks for telling me that, jackmilleysmom. I've always wondered about how to reduce shedding, other than brushing. Especially with a dog like a lab that sheds 24/7.

I have three Jack Russells. They're all BYB bred though and really don't resemble the breed like they should. Micki looks like hes mixed with italian greyhound, Mini looks beagle-ish and Kyra resembles a chihuahua. Oh well, they all definitely have the terrier attitude and are very skilled in the rodent hunting department!

Do you have any pictures??? Would love to see them by the way what does BYB stand for sorry my shorthand is not great....

Of course..I have TONS of pictures! If you do a search under my name you could find plenty...

Here's a thread with Micki and Mini pictures

And the most recent Christmas photoshoot (with plenty of Kyra)

BYB stands for a backyard breeder...basically people that have two pet dogs and think it'd be a good idea to breed them (without health/temperment testing) and most just want to make money. Micki and Mini's litter was supposedly "accidental" but I'm not sure that that was the case.

I used to have a Jack Russell mix named Oliver. He is in Heaven now. I also have an 8 year old Rat Terrier
