After a long time coming we have now got our first Jack Russel pup - Dog from working lines. He is 15 weeks old - At the moment i ve been concentrating on getting him use to a lead, house training, meeting as many people and socialising with other dogs ect. Quick question - Is there any more i should be doing with the dog - Is it too early to start any other training? What about getting her some rabbit skins to worry. Any advice/guidance will be much appreciated as i am pritty much starting from scratch. Thanks,

Thank you for all of the responses - I am seeing the chap on Saturday and will have a good chat RE the parents. I will keep you all in the loop and put some picture up ect. Thanks again, NP

Gents, We are finally in a position to get a dog, are all set up and ready to go! The dog will be mostley used fro bushing, ratting, rabbiting and beating - Will also be a family pet. A friend has a litter of Jack Russels and a litter of parsons - Both litters bred from working dogs - I ve been given the choice between. What are the main differences and which would you go for? Thanks NP

My father in law has recently started keeping/racing pigeons after a long time away from the sport. He wants to get a dog to kennel next to the loft to keep on top of the rats and keep away local cats and foxes - his obvious concern is he doesn't want a dog that will bother the birds. He asked me my opinion and I said I didn't know but would ask on hear. Would a specific breed be good or would any puppy that would be trained/Brocken to the birds be ok? Any advice would be gratefully recieved Thanks

At the Game Fair on Sunday I discovered the Spanish Water dog and was assured by the exhibitor that they are very much a working dog and great fro beeting. I ve never heard of any one working a Spanish Water dog. Has any one else if so what did you think?
