new JRT pup

[BULLXGREYHOUND 0]

i got offered an 8 week old pup yesterday so i took her. she is a minature cross normal jrt. this is my first terrier as i am in to running dogs and currently have a 5 month 3/8 5/8 bull greyhound which is coming on fantastic.

 

basically all i really wanted to no was what is the best way to start with the pup in the way of training exercise diet and so forth

 

she is pure white no signs of any other colour coming up as of yet i dont have any pics as of yet because my computer is ancient and it will take too long but i am 100% genuine and want the best for my pup all advice appreciated

 

thanks

hiya mate, first of all i would get her on RAW minus the bones, i wish that i started my russell on raw sooner, i think i put mine on RAW when he was about 4-5 months, before that he was on bakers dry mix, i would start to train him the basics, sit, down, wait... but the most inportant commmand is his recall, i would work on that every chance you get while hes still young.

 

i dont know what you mean when you say a minature cross normal jrt? what is that?

 

get it out and about, but dont over walk it.. try and get some pics up mate

 

atb with the pup

 

Jrt

 

oh yeah, i wouldnt give a pup bones at that age, me personally would wait until hes abit older, DO NOT COOK THE BONES, ALWAYS FEED THEM RAW

by minature cross normal i meant to say the bitch was a minature jrt/short legged 10 1/2 inch tts and the dog was a normal one/long legged 15-16 inch

ive just got an 8 week old miniture bitch of a mate also and my bitch looks the same size so if yours is cross with a bigger i woukld have thought she would of been a little bigger so she might be a bit younger she's a cracking we bitch theo good luck with her my 2 are like tazmanian devils compaired to my whippet and bulldogs the never leave the others alone there great fun tho !

is it the same in all breeds of dog the ones with the all white fur are prone to blindness and deafness J.M.O but her hearing seems ok she responds to her name and twists when she hears the front door but i will get her checked anyway when she goes for her first jab

 

and with the reguards to her size she ws the runt of the litter ill try and get a pic of the whole litter so you can see the difference thats why i got her cos no one wanted her and the guy just wanted rid

 

thanks
