I often look on those sites, not that I'm looking for a new dog it's just dog adverts have always been a bit of a strange obsession with me. I have seen those adverts but it is not the prices that puzzle me. A fool and his money and all that. As long as the buyer is purchasing what he wants then that's his business. It's the type of dogs that are now called Jack Russells that I find odd.

Many types of terrier have been labelled as such from old type Sealyhams to old type fox terriers and many intermediate sorts which is fine. I've never been of the opinion that a Russell was something "created" by the 19th century parson who's name has became associated with white working terriers. But that's the thing, white! No matter the diverse types that have been referred to as Jack Russells over the years the defining attribute was always that they were predominantly white.

These strange little dogs (are they even terriers?) being sold on sites such as Pets4homes seem to be every colour but white.

I've kept white terriers most of my life, which just happen to be of the sort that Russell did use, and I hate it when I meet people who admire them and then ask "what type of dogs are they". If I say "Jack Russells " they look at me as though I'm a simpleton because they know that proper Jack Russells don't look anything like my terriers. My favourite reply these days are that they are Miniature Peruvian Llama Hounds, and most people are suitably impressed.

My JR bitch is approaching retirement so I looked on all the sites to find a pup to bring on and could not believe the prices for JR Pups of which not many of them are actually JR,s .... I eventually ran a wanted advert on here , to which I received 2 qenuine replies . One reply has resulted in pup from excellent working parents at a working mans price

been checking that site out myself, I was offered a pup from a member off here, I want a bitch, he only has the one, pets4homes have a litter on now  £850. I would have to don my plastic mac and put myself on hanley bus station on Friday night  to be able to afford thati will keep searching, good luck with your pup

You may be disappointed if you don't get something from working lines or at least parents.It took me 3 years to find a good working terrier here,mainly for bushing to the whippets but it was worth the wait.I know a lady who breeds show russells,even the look in their eye is no comparison to a working terrier.You might be better checking out a few farms that have knock about terriers around the barns and may breed the odd litter.

Do the slog,walk with a few hunts,attend the odd,and they can be fecking odd,FMWTC meet.Do your homework and introduce yerself to a few miserable terrier owners etc. The trouble is now folk want instant  results,brass to spare and no fecking notion how to spend it and no ambition.Thus if you want something right you will work towards that goal and not trawl the web to be mugged by a shitehawk dog breeder.At times you need to wear the boots and not the wallet out.
